Become a Trustee

 

Cloverleaf is looking for people to join our voluntary Board of Trustees. As a Trustee, you will help ensure we deliver high-quality advocacy services that allow people to take control of their lives, make their own decisions, and achieve their goals.

 

Our current board has a broad range of skills and experience, including lived experience. We want to enhance these skills. We welcome applications from people who have/are working at a senior level within the private, public or charity sector.

 

We are especially interested in receiving applications from people experienced in accessing health and social care services. We believe you have a unique perspective that adds value to our work and helps us understand the needs of the people we support.

 

We want our Trustees to be

 

• Interested in developing services that allow people to maintain choice and control over their lives
• Concerned about the future of health and care
• Passionate about their local community
• Committed to supporting the charity sector during times of change
• Keen to know what people think about the services they receive and the services we provide

 

We ask our Trustees to

 

• Attend meetings of a few hours every two to three months
• Review and respond to minutes, reports, and financial statements
• Occasionally meet with staff and visit services
• Represent Cloverleaf at meetings and network events
• Act as an advocate for Cloverleaf, promoting us within their circles and networks (supporting future growth)

 

While we cannot pay our Trustees, reasonable expenses will be covered. Trustees will receive a full induction and ongoing support from fellow board members.
