What will you be doing?

Age UK Milton Keynes is a local independent charity working to improve the quality of life for all the older people living in Milton Keynes. We do this by providing a range of services which help people to stay in their own homes. We also provide a social network to help keep our clients involved with their community as well as working closely with other organisations who can provide support.

We are now looking to strengthen and widen our Board of Trustees and would like to hear from individuals with a wide range of relevant experience and perspectives.

As our organisation represents all older people in Milton Keynes, it is important that our Board also represents our diverse community. Therefore, we encourage applications from a broad range of applicants, especially currently under-represented groups.

We are seeking to appoint several Trustees and are particularly interested hearing from people with the following areas of experience governance, fundraising, financial management, working in the social care sector, Equity Diversity and Inclusion. However, if your skills lie in other directions, we would still like to hear from you.

The Board would also like to establish more robust succession plans for the Chairperson and Treasurer and would welcome such ambitions and skills in new members.

You will be willing to apply your skills and experience in regular Board meetings, (4 per year all day), Trustee only meetings (2 per year) as well as other ad hoc meetings around your subject matter expertise as may be needed.

Whether you’re an experienced Trustee or wanting to take your first step, we would like to hear from you.
