As part of our ongoing commitment to ensuring equal opportunity, we request that our diversity monitoring form is completed before we consider your application: https://forms.office.com/e/pcPH8h47U9 Please reach out if you have any questions about this.
Trustees are the stewards of our assets. They have collective responsibility for the governance of the organisation and for all decisions made by the board. They set the strategic direction for the organisation, ensuring alignment to our values, and are responsible for setting organisational policy, defining goals, agreeing the financial plan, evaluating performance, and ensuring that strong relationships are maintained between the board and executive leaders. All trustees should bring a leadership mindset that embraces humility, a commitment to learning and being challenged and the ability to listen and respect.
As a Trustee, your responsibilities will include:
· Reviewing our strategy and operations, to ensure they are up to the task of delivering our vision and mission. This includes overseeing our commitment to creating a people centred culture in all our work.
· Overseeing how we use our assets and resources, as well as ensuring that our financial controls and policies are fit for purpose, implemented, accessible, and reviewed regularly.
· Establishing effective relationships with other trustees and the Executive Team, enabling both the organisation and the Board to reflect on how to improve their effectiveness, progress and learning.
· Ensuring that we act within our powers, as laid out in our governing Trust Deed, as well as comply with all relevant legislation, including the Charities Act 2006.
· Acting in the best interests of Tudor Trust’s mission, avoiding actual and/or potential conflicts of interest while maximising contribution and impact.
· Embodying our values and holding yourself, the organisation and our Executive Team to account, while leading by example.
· Building connections, influence and opportunity for Tudor Trust by championing us and our mission
We anticipate a time commitment of one day a month, and that this will be a hybrid model. This will include attending three full day Board meetings a year and up to four committee and strategy meetings a year.

To enact these responsibilities we want all trustees to have the following competencies:
· Willingness to be challenged and learn from this
· Humility and sensitivity
· A strong understanding of how power plays out in internal and external systems and relationships
