Trustee Opportunities, Exeter
Exeter-based charity, St Petrock and Heavitree Lands Charity has a long history in supporting people with their housing needs and today owns seventy almshouses across the City of Exeter. The charity provides accommodation for local people with limited income, typically of retirement age. As a result of investment portfolio success, the charity has recently been able to complete a new build of twenty-two new almshouses. It is hoped they may potentially be able to repeat this again in future years, thus benefitting a greater number of older people in need of support.
New Trustees are currently being sought to bring additional expertise to the Board in the areas of financial management, social welfare and property and building pathology. The Board meets quarterly in Exeter with sub-committees meeting as required. To find out more about the Charity and how to apply, please download the Information Pack. You can also contact Recruitment Partner, Jackie Dawkins at Shine Charity Recruitment, for a discussion about Trusteeship. Jackie@shinecharityrecruitment.co.uk
TRUSTEE VACANCIES – Bodmin Keep, Cornwall’s Army Museum
Bodmin Keep is over 160 years old and is the historic home of the Army in Cornwall. This former headquarters of the Duke of Cornwall’s Light Infantry houses the museum, with more than three hundred years of military history, a library and meeting rooms. Each of the 12,000 collection items has its own story to tell. Stories about the battles that have been fought, weapons that were used or personal letters that were written on the battlefield.
Our aim is to educate, entertain and inspire a broad range of people of all ages. We have a vision to be the leading military museum in Cornwall for the preservation and promotion of the county’s and the nation’s military heritage.. We also aim to make a real contribution to the wellbeing and economy of our local community and county, and to our military family.
We are now looking for some new Trustees to join our Board and help us to fulfil these aims and aspirations. The Trustee role can be very rewarding and enjoyable offering an opportunity to serve the community whilst learning new skills. The Trustees role is to focus on the strategic direction of the charity and to ensure effectiveness and accountability. We are particularly interested in hearing from people who are excited about our work and can bring relevant experience/knowledge of the heritage sector, veterans, volunteering, managing finances, income generation or visitor services.

TRUSTEE OPPORTUNITIES, HAVENCARE HOMES AND SUPPORT, Plymouth
“Havencare Plymouth” was formed in 1987 to enable people with a learning disability to move from long-stay institutions (hospital wards) to something much better. Back then, “something better” was often a residential service in the community nearer to their original home and families.
Fast-forward to today… we are Havencare Homes and Support, supporting people in their own homes with their own tenancies, from Penzance in Cornwall to Teignmouth in Devon. Our charity is continuing to grow and reach more people across the South West. We support people to live the life they choose and find a home that’s right for them.
We have an annual income of c£10m, 260 staff and an exciting vision for the future. We are now looking for two new Trustees to join our committed and enthusiastic Board to support the charity to deliver our next chapter. We are particularly interested in speaking to people who can bring experience/expertise in the areas of social housing, strategic HR/people leadership, law, or marketing/communications.
We are being supported by Jackie Dawkins of Shine Charity Recruitment in our search for new Trustees. She will be very happy to speak to you about the opportunity and trusteeship (jackie@shinecharityrecruitment.co.uk)
