Local charity Age UK Isle of Wight has announced that following the retirement of a number of Trustees they are recruiting several new Trustees to help shape their strategic direction and priorities.
Age UK Isle of Wight is seeking people who share their desire to improve the lives of older people and who are looking for a new challenge, in order to strengthen their current board of Trustees.
The independent charity has been supporting older Islanders since 1973 and is held in high regard by the communities it serves, as well as by local Health and Social Care decision makers.
Trustees play a pivotal part in the governance, leadership and long-term planning of the charity, so they are encouraging people with specific skills and attributes, from a wide variety of backgrounds to apply, outlined within their application pack.
Sheila Evans, Chair of Trustees for Age UK Isle of Wight, says:
“Becoming a Trustee and helping to support our older island community to ensure that they can live their best independent life is time well spent and personally rewarding. We are individuals working as a team drawing upon our combined experience and skills, and our ability to take sound, challenging decisions can generate positive outcomes for the wellbeing of the charity.”
Age UK Isle of Wight is keen to encourage applications from all areas of the community, no professional qualifications are required. An application pack containing full details can be found on the charity’s website at www.ageukiw.org.uk.
There will be a vacancy for Chairman in November.
