The Trust is seeking new Trustees to join a committed Board at an exciting point, as it embarks upon the next stage of its evolution, reenergising Fr Charles Plater’s original vision and commitment to social justice.
Our primary requirement is commitment to the vision combined with the skills and capabilities to complement our existing Trustees and translate the vision into action. If you have communication, marketing, digital, IT, investment management or HR skills and experience, then we would be keen to hear from you.

The Board provides strategic leadership, ensuring appropriate governance in partnership with a professional Trust Manager. You will need to be able to demonstrate commitment to Catholic Social Teaching and collaborative working with fellow Trustees, the Trust Manager and with other organisations to develop and sustain effective partnerships.
If you are motivated by the challenge of developing a trust in pursuit of these objectives, can demonstrate an outstanding track record of working towards social justice combined with strong understanding of effective governance we would love to speak with you.
The minimum commitment is to three Trustee meetings per year and additional responsibilities discharged through a subcommittee structure. In addition, all Trustees are expected to act as the link between the Board and a specific number of grant awardee organisations.
