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 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)
Please see the attached information pack for further information about Havencare and how to apply.

The Trust is excited about further developing its role in the community and is now seeking a new Chair to support the Board and Trust to deliver this aspiration.
We are delighted to be working with ECQT to support their recruitment process. We are keen to speak to people who are interested in the heritage and future potential of the area and are excited about the opportunities ahead.
