Responsible to: Assistant Manager/ CEO

The Mungo Foundation (TMF) is recruiting Trustees for our Board as we seek to improve and enrich the lives of the most vulnerable people in our communities located mainly in Glasgow but with projects as far as Twechar, Lanark and Ayrshire.

You will be joining an experienced board of Trustees who welcome sharing their expertise with those with less experience and learning from those who bring different professional skillsets. Our Trustees oversee the strategy and governance of TMF to ensure that the charity is operated in the best interests of the people we support and their friends and families.

As a Trustee, this voluntary (and unpaid) position is responsible for the overall leadership, strategy and direction of the charity, contributing to the development of our work, promoting the organisation, contributing to effective governance and ensuring compliance with our legal obligations. We are interested in experienced or first-time Trustees who are committed to our cause and have a passion for our mission, vision and values and can make a valuable contribution to our development.

The main duties of a Trustee are to participate in Board and Committee meetings, normally up to 8 per year (and possibly one off-site day), acting as an advocate for TMF’s work, providing advice on strategy, serving as a channel of professional advice within the individual’s own area of expertise and identifying new opportunities. Experience in either Social Care or Finance (Chartered Accountant) is particularly welcome.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone with experience of developing and promoting evidence based policy solutions, a track record of working with policy makers and a strong desire to help end child poverty.

The successful candidate will be able to communicate complex policy ideas in an accurate but accessible manner so that non-specialist policy makers can understand and act on them. You will have an understanding of policy making and parliamentary processes and will play a key role within CPAG in Scotland working alongside our Early Warning System project manager and social security experts to identify policy issues and inform policy makers and politicians.

You will also play a key role in writing high quality consultation responses, briefing papers, reports and other policy resources promoting CPAG's wider policy calls.

We welcome applications from any individuals with the skills and experience listed and we can be flexible in terms of the conditions of employment. This means we would be happy to discuss alternative working hours, days and patterns, and any additional needs or requirements. CPAG also prioritises and has a commitment to equal opportunities, which you can read more about in the job pack.
