Trustee/Director with Academic/Research/Mental Health expertise
London, EnglandForces 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 £3 million each year to a variety of organizations in accordance with the Grants and Commissioning Plan. The Plan 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. One of these Programmes is Health, which includes an embedded £5-800k per year Mental Health Research Programme with an independent programme steering group. 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. 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. Future direction To further increase the impact of our grant funding we continue to promote proactive commissioning, better exploitation of the evidence we generate to change policy and service provision, and more robust evaluation. Our 'programmatic' approach to all our work is a clear message that the Forces in Mind Trust intends to build upon its highly successful early years, and deliver the substantial benefit to the Armed Forces Community for which we were originally conceived. Whilst our reputation and ability to influence others have grown, we intend to substantially increase our capacity to lead real change. 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 seeking to maintain an appropriate level of skills and experience to support the Trust's development. Specifically, the Trust is looking for expertise in research and mental health to replace a world-leading expert in these fields. It is anticipated that the appointed Director would become a member of the Programmes Committee as well as the Board. Experience in all or a combination of the following areas would be welcomed: Academia Research Mental health The Trust is required to have spent out by 2031, and it is not envisaged that fund raising will be undertaken. All Directors are expected to have strong empathy with the United Kingdom's Armed Forces Community, but direct military experience is not required. Moreover, the nature of the Trust's work means that direct contact with the Armed Forces Community beneficiary population is infrequent. 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. Further information 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 31st July 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 July.

London, EnglandThe Latin Programme - Via Facilis (TLP) brings Latin to state schools in order to improve pupils' English literacy and their understanding of language, as well as promoting Classical culture to wider communities. We exist because lacking vital literacy skills holds a person back at every stage of their life beyond primary school. We embrace a non-traditional approach to literacy in which songs, games and rap encourage pupils to understand complex grammatical material in both Latin and English. We believe in the exceptional linguistic potential of every child and strive to make the most of that by offering young people the opportunity to study an ancient language in a way that will provide an excellent foundation for future language learning and self-expression. We are currently looking to increase the number of Trustees on our Trustee Board. We need a dynamic and skilled Board to help steer us through the next phase of our development and would be especially interested in hearing from people who can bring expertise in one or more of the following areas: Charity Governance Fundraising Human Resources The UK Primary Education Sector We are also keen to hear from individuals who might ultimately be interested in proceeding to the role of Board Vice Chair, as well as from those interested in taking on the role of Board Secretary. Knowledge of Latin is not a prerequisite but a real empathy to the cause and an understanding of the value of our work is a must. You will also need to be able to commit sufficient time for this work. There are usually 3 to 4 formal board meetings a year, typically early evenings in central London, in addition to which there is sometimes the need for ad-hoc phone and email liaison with other trustees and with staff, as well as an occasional need to attend other Charity events and meetings. Reviewing a variety of board papers is also an integral part of the role. A formal role description and person specification can be emailed on request. The Latin Programme - Via Facilis now has over 10 years' experience of delivering successful, cost-effective programmes which make a positive and measurable difference to the lives of young children. This is therefore an exciting opportunity to join an established and successful organisation and help lead it forward to maximise its potential. This is an un-remunerated role although reasonable travel expenses can be claimed if need be, in accordance with our policy. To apply for the role please send an up-to-date CV and cover letter to info@thelatinprogramme.co.uk Your cover letter should highlight the key skills that you would bring to the Trustee Board and explain why you wish to become part of the team at The Latin Programme - Via Facilis.

To ensure the organisation follows its objects or purpose, as set out in its Declaration of Trust. To ensure the organisation uses its resources exclusively to pursue its objectives. To provide strategic direction to the organisation and set overall policy. To safeguard the good name and values of the organisation.

To provide expertise and guidance to the school where required and appropriate. To ensure the school is accountable for the expenditure of all funds from the UK trust. To engage in, and support, fundraising activities whenever possible. Additional requirements for a fundraising trustee The Trust is looking for someone who can provide both strategic and practical advice and support, specifically in the area of fundraising. Most of the income comes in from direct sponsorship for each child's education through the UK and US trusts that collect the donations. There are also many one-off donations for projects, donations that support post-school vocational/professional qualifications, fundraising events, our Justgiving page, direct gifts of school materials/equipment, and the food and healthcare sponsorship programmes. See www.tujatane.com for further information on the school's history and current activities. The trustee board is made up of a small and very committed group of people, the majority of whom have visited the school.

Each trustee brings specific expertise, qualifications, skills and experience to the board. The requirements of the board change over time and recruitment is undertaken on the basis of identified needs. At this time, the board has identified the need to recruit a professionally qualified fundraiser with experience in the charity sector.

Up-to-date knowledge of legislation relating to fundraising in the UK is highly desirable, and a good understanding of charity law, and Charity Commission guidance, as it relates to UK charities.

Trustee/Director with Academic/Research/Mental Health expertise
London, EnglandForces 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 £3 million each year to a variety of organizations in accordance with the Grants and Commissioning Plan. The Plan 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. One of these Programmes is Health, which includes an embedded £5-800k per year Mental Health Research Programme with an independent programme steering group. 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. 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. Future direction To further increase the impact of our grant funding we continue to promote proactive commissioning, better exploitation of the evidence we generate to change policy and service provision, and more robust evaluation. Our 'programmatic' approach to all our work is a clear message that the Forces in Mind Trust intends to build upon its highly successful early years, and deliver the substantial benefit to the Armed Forces Community for which we were originally conceived. Whilst our reputation and ability to influence others have grown, we intend to substantially increase our capacity to lead real change. 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 seeking to maintain an appropriate level of skills and experience to support the Trust's development. Specifically, the Trust is looking for expertise in research and mental health to replace a world-leading expert in these fields. It is anticipated that the appointed Director would become a member of the Programmes Committee as well as the Board. Experience in all or a combination of the following areas would be welcomed: Academia Research Mental health The Trust is required to have spent out by 2031, and it is not envisaged that fund raising will be undertaken. All Directors are expected to have strong empathy with the United Kingdom's Armed Forces Community, but direct military experience is not required. Moreover, the nature of the Trust's work means that direct contact with the Armed Forces Community beneficiary population is infrequent. 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. Further information 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 31st July 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 July.

London, EnglandThe Latin Programme - Via Facilis (TLP) brings Latin to state schools in order to improve pupils' English literacy and their understanding of language, as well as promoting Classical culture to wider communities. We exist because lacking vital literacy skills holds a person back at every stage of their life beyond primary school. We embrace a non-traditional approach to literacy in which songs, games and rap encourage pupils to understand complex grammatical material in both Latin and English. We believe in the exceptional linguistic potential of every child and strive to make the most of that by offering young people the opportunity to study an ancient language in a way that will provide an excellent foundation for future language learning and self-expression. We are currently looking to increase the number of Trustees on our Trustee Board. We need a dynamic and skilled Board to help steer us through the next phase of our development and would be especially interested in hearing from people who can bring expertise in one or more of the following areas: Charity Governance Fundraising Human Resources The UK Primary Education Sector We are also keen to hear from individuals who might ultimately be interested in proceeding to the role of Board Vice Chair, as well as from those interested in taking on the role of Board Secretary.

The Latin Programme - Via Facilis now has over 10 years' experience of delivering successful, cost-effective programmes which make a positive and measurable difference to the lives of young children. This is therefore an exciting opportunity to join an established and successful organisation and help lead it forward to maximise its potential. This is an un-remunerated role although reasonable travel expenses can be claimed if need be, in accordance with our policy. To apply for the role please send an up-to-date CV and cover letter to info@thelatinprogramme.co.uk Your cover letter should highlight the key skills that you would bring to the Trustee Board and explain why you wish to become part of the team at The Latin Programme - Via Facilis.

Fundraising Trustee
London, EnglandFundraising Trustee at the Charitable Trust of the Tongabezi Trust School Statutory Duties of a Trustee To ensure the organisation complies with its governing document and any relevant legislation or regulations. To ensure the organisation follows its objects or purpose, as set out in its Declaration of Trust. To ensure the organisation uses its resources exclusively to pursue its objectives. To provide strategic direction to the organisation and set overall policy. To safeguard the good name and values of the organisation. To ensure the organisation is effectively and efficiently administered. To ensure the financial stability of the organisation. To protect and manage the property of the charity and to ensure the proper investment of the charity's funds. Specific Duties in relation to the Tongabezi Trust To attend and engage in as many trustee meetings as possible. To prepare for trustee meetings by reading any relevant papers ahead of time. To visit the school as much as is realistically possible - ideally once every five years. To act with integrity and put the interests of the trust and the school before any personal interests when engaging in trustee business. To provide expertise and guidance to the school where required and appropriate. To ensure the school is accountable for the expenditure of all funds from the UK trust. To engage in, and support, fundraising activities whenever possible. Additional requirements for a fundraising trustee The Trust is looking for someone who can provide both strategic and practical advice and support, specifically in the area of fundraising. Most of the income comes in from direct sponsorship for each child's education through the UK and US trusts that collect the donations. There are also many one-off donations for projects, donations that support post-school vocational/professional qualifications, fundraising events, our Justgiving page, direct gifts of school materials/equipment, and the food and healthcare sponsorship programmes. See www.tujatane.com for further information on the school's history and current activities. The trustee board is made up of a small and very committed group of people, the majority of whom have visited the school. Meetings take place about four times a year in London, where possible to coincide with Vanessa Parker's visits to the UK, and in recent years we have also included an annual strategy day. Each trustee brings specific expertise, qualifications, skills and experience to the board. The requirements of the board change over time and recruitment is undertaken on the basis of identified needs. At this time, the board has identified the need to recruit a professionally qualified fundraiser with experience in the charity sector. Whilst community fundraising is probably the most useful area of expertise, other areas such as major donor fundraising, or trusts and foundations, would also be helpful. Up-to-date knowledge of legislation relating to fundraising in the UK is highly desirable, and a good understanding of charity law, and Charity Commission guidance, as it relates to UK charities. The charity employs a full-time Fundraising Manager based in Zambia, and there would be some liaison with them by this trustee. To apply: Please send a CV and cover letter (or a request for further information or informal chat) to Julie Fewtrell at fewtrelljulie@gmail.com. Whilst the closing date is 10 September 2020, candidates may be invited for interview before that date.
