Join the Parents Plus Board of Trustees

 

 

Parents Plus is seeking a trustee with a background in Communications, PR, Marketing, Brand Management and/or Brand Strategy.  It would be a benefit, but not a prerequisite, for the trustee to have experience or an understanding of the charity and social enterprise sectors.

Parents Plus mission is to improve outcomes and well-being for children, adolescents and their families by empowering professionals to deliver our evidence-based parenting and mental health programmes through their services in local communities.Parents Plus vision is that families in need have access to proven and tailored tools from the services they turn to, in their communities, early on in their journey, improving their outcomes and preventing difficulties or crises arising.

Commitment of Trustees

Trustees are expected to attend 6 – 8 board meetings per year and to participate in various subgroups that may be established from time to time.  While the Trustees are elected at the AGM each year, we envision that Trustees who become involved consider they are making a 3 to 5 year commitment to this position.  As per the Charity Governance code, Trustees are voluntary appointments.
