It operates across Chesterfield and North East Derbyshire providing day care, respite, supported living and residential services.Trustees are Executive Committee members who meet every 3 months. The commitment would be to attend these meeting, which last approximately 2 hours.. Trustees oversee the running of the Charity and also its company limited by guarantee.Trustees will be expected to build an effective working relationship with the CEO.

The CEO wishes to have an Executive Committee who can guide and help steer the organisation to achieve its aspirations.If you have particular skills that are not listed that you believe would benefit our organisation, we would very much like to hear from you.What are we looking for?We are currently looking to recruit Trustees with the following skills in particular

As an organisation which has been presented with considerable opportunity, it needs to ensure that as wide a field of skills and knowledge needs to enter into the debate so that the correct decisions are made for future development.
