TRUSTEE VACANCIES – Nr Exeter

Stallcombe Community is a residential care service located near to the village of Woodbury, near Exeter, set within 55 acres of beautiful East Devon Countryside. We also have a day service within the grounds of Bicton College, called Bramley Barn. Both services support adults with learning disability and autism and enable service users to participate in farming, gardening and horticulture activities on site as well as a variety of additional activities in the local community.
Stallcombe House is a registered charity (registered charity number 238377) and is registered with the Care Quality Commission and regulated under the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014.
Stallcombe Community promotes a green ethos, is striving to become carbon neutral, and improve local biodiversity by generating electricity from its solar array and selling spare KW’s back to The National Grid, getting heat and hot water from our onsite bio-mass boilers and from a ground source heat pump. The onsite reed bed processes wastewater and it uses bore hole water for gardening. There is also a tree planting scheme and sustainable hedgerow management in place.
Stallcombe Community is now looking for a number of new trustees to join its small board at an exciting time for the Charity, as it looks to diversify its service, improve its facilities, and strengthen its commitment to ecology and sustainability, fostering greater links with its local community whilst securing its financial future.
We are particularly keen to hear from individuals with expertise in legal, financial, building, or land management fields. As a trustee with this expertise, you will have the opportunity to guide our strategic decisions, contribute to sustainable development initiatives, and ensure the continued excellence of our services. Board meetings are held quarterly on a Thursday morning. But ultimately good Trustees are people who share the same passion and work together to achieve the same goals.
You can make a real difference to Stallcombe Community! By giving a few days a year of your time you can help lead Stallcombe Community on the next phase of its journey, to provide excellent person centred care in an ecologically and financially sustainable way.
If you would like to find out more please take a look at our Trustee Recruitment Pack, we are working with Jackie Dawkins of Shine Charity Recruitment who is supporting our search for new Trustees.

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.

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.

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.
