Job Description

Whilst we welcome applications from a range of backgrounds, there is a particular interest in candidates with senior level HR experience, ideally gained in the commercial or public sector.

The following 5 areas are a summary of the main areas of responsibility of the Board.

  • Culture: to establish a culture for the Board and to promote that culture through the Executive Team and the rest of the organisation.

  • Aims & Strategy: to work with the Executive Team on the strategy to achieve the aims, providing an independent, “outside in” perspective and ultimate approval.

  • Governance:

    • to oversee & support the performance of the Executive Team in delivering this strategy.

    • to ensure that YFF complies with its legal and regulatory requirements.

    • to act as guardians of YFF’s assets both tangible and intangible, ensuring that they are only used for the mission of the organisation.

    • YFF is a company limited by guarantee, with amended Articles of Association restricting its objects to supporting young people and preventing the distribution of profits to any members. At this stage, it is not certain whether YFF will register as a charity with the Charities Commission, however prospective Board members should consider this as a possibility.

  • Critical friends: to build a relationship with the Executive Team that promotes honesty, transparency and accountability.

  • Ambassadors: to act as ambassadors representing the organisation to all stakeholders.
