Trustees x 3
About the role
First Story is looking for three new trustees to join the board. We recently conducted a skills audit, and we are particularly interested in recruiting trustees with marketing and communications experience and knowledge of secondary education and the English curriculum and philanthropy.
We want our board to reflect the communities we work with, so we would welcome applications from people who understand the socio-economic/political context outside London and/or belong to the diverse communities we serve.
First Story’s board of trustees provides governance for the charity to ensure that the organisation’s activities, performance and outcomes are in line with its vision, aims and charitable objectives. The trustees also provide overall policy oversight and support First Story in achieving its operational aims and making key contacts necessary to maintain successful operations.
Trustees of First Story are usually expected to serve for a minimum of four years. After the period of four years, a trustee’s commitment may be extended for another term by mutual agreement.

Please send your CV with a covering letter telling us why you are interested in joining our board to: antonia.byatt@firststory.org.uk

Closing date: Tuesday 28 May 2024
