Trustees
London, EnglandBackground to Forces in Mind Trust Forces in Mind Trust was founded in November 2011 by a £35 million endowment from the Big Lottery Fund, now the National Lottery Community Fund. As a member of Cobseo - the Confederation of Service Charities - and a permanent member of its Executive Committee, the Trust works within the Armed Forces charities sector, and much more widely, to support the United Kingdom's Armed Forces Community. The Trust is unique within this sector and puts measurable impact at its core. Our Vision is that all ex-Service personnel and their families lead fulfilled civilian lives. Our Mission is to enable them to make a successful and sustainable transition. Our Strategy is to use our spend-out endowment to fund targeted, conceptually sound, evidence generation and influence activities that will cause policy makers and service providers to support our Mission, and to strengthen the Armed Forces charities sector through collaboration and leadership, and by building its capacity. The engine of the Trust is the Programmes Committee, which drives the award of around £2½ million each year to a variety of organizations in accordance with the Grants and Commissioning Plan. The Plan, the resource allocation for which is reviewed annually by the Board, comprises a coherent set of seven Programmes, each with desired beneficiary outcomes and guiding priorities derived from a robust theory of change model, and encompassing an influence and exploitation plan. The Trust, which is based in rented premises in Victoria, London, has a single corporate Trustee, known as FIM Trustee Limited, and a Board of Directors (in effect Trustees) of up to 14 members, of whom 5 will be Cobseo-nominated members, as well as a Protector who is there to represent the Founder, the National Lottery Community Fund. A small team of 10 full-time employees, led by a Chief Executive, is responsible for the operational delivery of the Trust's Mission. Human Resources, Financial Control, Legal Advice and Facilities Management (including Information Technology services) are outsourced. Strategic oversight of the Trust's Programmes and approval of individual projects are the responsibility of the Programmes Committee of Directors, as recommended by the executive team after full independent assessment. The endowment (which is held in portfolios by Investment Managers) and financial management are overseen by a Finance and Investment Committee. These Committees meet quarterly, and there is also a Governance Committee, which meets bi-annually. Directors are expected to attend quarterly Board meetings and an annual strategy awayday, and to be appointed to one of the Committees; meetings usually take place at or near to the Trust in London (currently these meetings are held on line). Directors are appointed for an initial term of 3 years, which may be renewed once. Directors are not remunerated, but are paid reasonable travel and subsistence expenses, including childcare costs when required. This is an exciting time for the Trust, and we hope you will consider bringing your talents to join us on our journey. Director requirements The Board is looking to appoint two new Directors to contribute to the governance and development of the Trust, and is particularly interested to hear from candidates from diverse and minority ethnic backgrounds who have experience or an interest in one or more of the Trust's six outcome areas: Housing Employment Health Finance Criminal justice Relationships In addition, the Board is looking to increase its coverage of policy, research, Armed Forces charities, lived experience and alternative perspectives. Because the Trust is recruiting two directors, any individual applicant would not be expected to provide all of these attributes, but the intention is to fill them across the two positions. Strong empathy with the United Kingdom's Armed Forces Community is an essential requirement. Previous Board experience is not necessary, but an understanding of, or a willingness to train in, the principles of good governance in the charity sector is essential. The Trust is looking for bold thinkers, innovative influencers, and agents of change. The newly appointed Directors will support and offer their expertise and guidance in leading the Trust. Further information The Trust operates across the United Kingdom, and applications from Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are particularly welcome. The Trust is committed to equality and diversity and we encourage applications from females, and from all sections of the LGBT community and black and minority ethnic communities. Most of the Directors' work takes place in the Trust's offices, which are fully accessible, and so we also welcome interest from those who may have additional needs. The Trust's work is extensively described on its website www.fim-trust.org How to apply Expressions of interest comprising a cover letter and CV totalling not more than 4 sides should be sent to director@fim-trust.org by Friday 27th November 2020. All applications will be acknowledged, and those with whom the Trust wishes to take forward discussions will be personally informed before the end of January 2021.

Chair
Wokingham, BerkshireChair-designate of CLASP (Caring, Listening and Supporting Partnership) Do you have leadership skills and some committee or Chairing experience? Would you like to help transform the Board of a highly-valued and well-respected learning disability charity in Wokingham, Berkshire? Would you like to spend six to twelve months as a trustee, learning about us and the Chair's role before your final confirmation as Chair? About Us The Caring, Listening and Supporting Partnership (CLASP) is a Wokingham-based charity, supporting adults with learning disabilities to speak up for themselves. Our mission is: 'To develop independence through self-advocacy for adults living with a learning disability'. We deliver this through workshops and training, providing resources and signposting, and peer support. We're a small team of staff, volunteers and trustees and are a well-established part of the learning disability community. CLASP also manages the Learning Disability Partnership Board: an empowering and inclusive network, working together to break down barriers and enable positive outcomes for people with learning disabilities and their families. Trustees' Annual Report and Annual Accounts are available from the Charity Commission. The role Half of our board is made up of people with learning disabilities and we don't intend to change that; at the same time, we need to equip our organisation to better move forward. We are looking for a new trustee to eventually take on the role of Chair, to lead the Board and the charity alongside our existing trustees, assisted by our Manager and other employees. Our expectation is for you to spend six to twelve months in this 'designate' role, to enable you to ascertain if it's right for you and right for our organisation, to learn how we operate and understand how we want to change. If you have skills and abilities in cooperatively chairing a committee, maybe experience of charity (or corporate) governance, we'd welcome you, although similar experience and transferable skills are as important; we'll give you support and training as necessary. This opportunity will become a chance to work with staff and trustees to build a Board ready for the future. You don't need experience of, working with adults with Learning Disabilities but you must have a willingness to do so. We also want to expand the diversity of our Board, in all aspects. We are a charity not a business, but we want you to help us apply good business principles in governing our organisation.We welcome potential trustees with ideas and expertise from a variety of backgrounds, including the business world. The focus of a trustee role is strategic and you don't need to be directly involved in the organisation's operations on a day-to-day basis; of course, the Chair will eventually take on the support & supervision of the Manager in regular meetings. This is a voluntary role and reasonable travel expenses may be claimed. We ask for about eight hours per month as Chair-designate, rising to at least ten hours per month upon appointment as Chair: this includes induction & training, all meetings, correspondence, communication, etc. Full induction to our charity is provided, plus specialist support as a trustee including access to external training. You do not necessarily need prior experience of charity trusteeship, as support from other trustees and from our Manager is always available. What do you get as a volunteer trustee with our organisation? Some of these you will gain as Chair-designate, some as eventual Chair: An opportunity to exercise your cooperative leadership skills, possibly in a different environment or context A chance to create, adapt and implement strategic change for the organisation A chance to augment your experience of charities A boost to your career and CV, if needed An opportunity to work alongside other committed trustees The personal reward of giving back to the community High-quality induction training from us and other charity-support organisations What do we get? Your skills, knowledge and leadership experience Your abilities to help our Board and charity grow in line with our strategic plans Enhancement to our overall governance and the Board of Trustees; improvement in our charity governance and operational growth Your participation in our collective decision-making, contributing to all areas of our charity work Your enthusiasm How to apply This appointment is being managed for us by inVOLve Community Services, a charity-support organisation, who offer a no-obligation discussion by phone or video. A detailed Role Description and Person Specification can be made available to you upon request. You will need to be eligible to be a charity trustee & company Director, which we will explain. Trustee appointments are subject to satisfactory references. Your CV or similar will be read by CLASP's trustees and Manager and an interview by video offered as soon as mutually convenient. I need to know more Contact Mike Allen at intrusted@involve.community for more information and arrange to have a no-obligation initial informal discussion (phone, WhatsApp, Teams, Zoom, Meet, etc.)

Trustees
London, EnglandBackground to Forces in Mind Trust Forces in Mind Trust was founded in November 2011 by a £35 million endowment from the Big Lottery Fund, now the National Lottery Community Fund. As a member of Cobseo - the Confederation of Service Charities - and a permanent member of its Executive Committee, the Trust works within the Armed Forces charities sector, and much more widely, to support the United Kingdom's Armed Forces Community. The Trust is unique within this sector and puts measurable impact at its core. Our Vision is that all ex-Service personnel and their families lead fulfilled civilian lives. Our Mission is to enable them to make a successful and sustainable transition. Our Strategy is to use our spend-out endowment to fund targeted, conceptually sound, evidence generation and influence activities that will cause policy makers and service providers to support our Mission, and to strengthen the Armed Forces charities sector through collaboration and leadership, and by building its capacity. The engine of the Trust is the Programmes Committee, which drives the award of around £2½ million each year to a variety of organizations in accordance with the Grants and Commissioning Plan. The Plan, the resource allocation for which is reviewed annually by the Board, comprises a coherent set of seven Programmes, each with desired beneficiary outcomes and guiding priorities derived from a robust theory of change model, and encompassing an influence and exploitation plan. The Trust, which is based in rented premises in Victoria, London, has a single corporate Trustee, known as FIM Trustee Limited, and a Board of Directors (in effect Trustees) of up to 14 members, of whom 5 will be Cobseo-nominated members, as well as a Protector who is there to represent the Founder, the National Lottery Community Fund. A small team of 10 full-time employees, led by a Chief Executive, is responsible for the operational delivery of the Trust's Mission. Human Resources, Financial Control, Legal Advice and Facilities Management (including Information Technology services) are outsourced. Strategic oversight of the Trust's Programmes and approval of individual projects are the responsibility of the Programmes Committee of Directors, as recommended by the executive team after full independent assessment. The endowment (which is held in portfolios by Investment Managers) and financial management are overseen by a Finance and Investment Committee. These Committees meet quarterly, and there is also a Governance Committee, which meets bi-annually. Directors are expected to attend quarterly Board meetings and an annual strategy awayday, and to be appointed to one of the Committees; meetings usually take place at or near to the Trust in London (currently these meetings are held on line). Directors are appointed for an initial term of 3 years, which may be renewed once. Directors are not remunerated, but are paid reasonable travel and subsistence expenses, including childcare costs when required. This is an exciting time for the Trust, and we hope you will consider bringing your talents to join us on our journey. Director requirements The Board is looking to appoint two new Directors to contribute to the governance and development of the Trust, and is particularly interested to hear from candidates from diverse and minority ethnic backgrounds who have experience or an interest in one or more of the Trust's six outcome areas: Housing Employment Health Finance Criminal justice Relationships In addition, the Board is looking to increase its coverage of policy, research, Armed Forces charities, lived experience and alternative perspectives. Because the Trust is recruiting two directors, any individual applicant would not be expected to provide all of these attributes, but the intention is to fill them across the two positions. Strong empathy with the United Kingdom's Armed Forces Community is an essential requirement. Previous Board experience is not necessary, but an understanding of, or a willingness to train in, the principles of good governance in the charity sector is essential. The Trust is looking for bold thinkers, innovative influencers, and agents of change. The newly appointed Directors will support and offer their expertise and guidance in leading the Trust. Further information The Trust operates across the United Kingdom, and applications from Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are particularly welcome. The Trust is committed to equality and diversity and we encourage applications from females, and from all sections of the LGBT community and black and minority ethnic communities. Most of the Directors' work takes place in the Trust's offices, which are fully accessible, and so we also welcome interest from those who may have additional needs. The Trust's work is extensively described on its website www.fim-trust.org How to apply Expressions of interest comprising a cover letter and CV totalling not more than 4 sides should be sent to director@fim-trust.org by Friday 27th November 2020. All applications will be acknowledged, and those with whom the Trust wishes to take forward discussions will be personally informed before the end of January 2021.
