Are you interested in supporting children and young people's mental health? We are looking for a number of dedicated individuals to join our Trustee Board.
About TIC+: TIC+ provides comprehensive support services to children and young people (aged 9-25), parents and professionals, including counselling (online, remote, and face-to-face), helplines, live online sessions and training programmes for counsellors at various levels, ensuring easy access to tailored support for individuals' needs. Over the past two years, we've provided 36,528 counselling sessions, addressing various issues like depression, anxiety, and self-harm.
Trustee Opportunity: As a Trustee, you'll play a crucial role in providing oversight and strategic direction to our work both in Gloucestershire and to help us expand across the country. With an expected time commitment of 4-12 hours per month, you'll contribute to board meetings, subcommittee meetings, and annual strategy sessions.
Chair Opportunity: In addition to the above, you’ll lead the Board and support and oversee the executive, ensuring effective strategic direction and oversight is provided by the Board. This role requires variable hours including regular meetings with the executive and attendance at relevant events.
Essential Criteria:
- Commitment to TIC+'s mission
- Genuine Christian faith
- Relevant skills and experience
- Strong communication and analytical skills
- Minimum age of 18
Priority Areas of Focus: Due to a number of Trustees reaching the end of their term at the same time, we will be appointing up to 7 new Trustees in this recruitment round. We are therefore seeking a variety of expertise and lived experience including:
- Charity finance
- Clinical skills in mental health
- Growth and expansion strategies
- Safeguarding
- Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion
- Organisational culture and HR
- Digital strategy
- Fundraising
In order to diversify the viewpoints on our Board, we particularly welcome applications from people aged under 45, those with lived experience of the mental health care system for young people (whether personal or professional) and people of colour.
How to Apply: Please contact us for a full job pack, application form and diversity questionnaire. Applications close on March 4, 2024 at 10am.
Join us in making a difference in the lives of young people. Apply now!
