Churches Action for the Homeless are now recruiting for up to three new Trustees to join their Board.

Our Vision

A thriving, connected community, where people have fulfilling and independent lives with a sense of purpose, belonging and hope for the future.

Our Mission

To build inclusive, safe and supportive environments that empower people facing exclusion to participate, help them realise their potential and achieve their goals.

This role is an important voluntary role. It offers individuals a chance to contribute to society and further deveop their own skills.

Trustees are there to lead, control and supervise the organisation's activities. It's the part of the organisation with formal power and responsibility, which are detailed in the governing document, and backed up by law.

Previous experience on a Charity Board is not required and a Trustee induction and training will be provided. The Board of Trustees is supported by a highly skilled Senior Management Team including a Chief Executive that is accountable to the Board.

Who We Are Looking For

We are particularly interested in recruiting Trustees with professional skills and experience in digital, data, fundraising, finance and marketing.

We recognise and value lived experience at Board level including people who may have experience of addictions, homelessness, poverty and crisis.

Perth and Kinross Heritage Trust (PKHT) is a long-established and respected charity focused on the protection and enhancement of Perthshire’s historic environment. To operate effectively, the Trust relies on volunteers with a range of skills to provide strategic guidance, good governance and support to the staff. Trustees ensure that PKHT adheres to legal and financial regulations and support the wider delivery of key projects. They also champion the work of the organisation, helping to raise awareness of the Trust’s work.

Due to the retirement of a number of long-standing members, the current Trustees are looking to strengthen the Board by recruiting several new Trustees with a variety of experience and backgrounds and who have a genuine passion for safeguarding the heritage of Perth and Kinross.

The current Board is seeking applications from those with interest in the work of the Trust and who have time available to commit to supporting PKHT.

Time commitment for Trustees

The PKHT Board meets 4 times per year and meetings usually last around 2 hours. Board meetings are held in person in Perth, but a hybrid option to join online is feasible if that is more convenient. Currently, meetings are during the day but will be adapted to suit the majority of Trustees and may therefore vary in timing.

Board papers are emailed out by staff a week in advance and Trustees are expected to have read the papers in advance of the meeting so that they can support decision-making and ask any questions.

There may also be the following additional time commitments:

• Staff and Trustee Away Day -where the whole team get together to learn, meet and share ideas, usually once per year.
• Sub-committees- Trustees who are on sub-committees such as finance or the Perth City Heritage Fund will be invited to attend additional meetings. Being a member of a sub-committee is voluntary and depends on relevant experience and time availability.
• Ad hoc meetings- there may be occasional additional meetings such as an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) or where an urgent decision is required.
• Decision by email- where a decision is required, staff will email Trustees and set a deadline for response.
• Events- Trustees may be asked to represent the Trust at local or occasionally national events.
• Board appointments- those who have additional responsibilities such as Chairperson and Treasurer will have additional time commitments as required by the Board and staff.

Trustees are appointed for three years and can serve a maximum of three terms (9 years) as per the current PKHT Articles.

Candidate Experience

PKHT welcomes applications from people of all backgrounds and we particularly welcome those who are currently under-represented including younger people (see below). This ensures that we are fully representing the geographic area that we serve.

Potential Trustees must have an interest in and enthusiasm for the heritage of Perth and Kinross, and we are also looking for the following areas of expertise:

• HR
• Legal/ Charity Governance
• Finance
• Archaeology
• Building Conservation
• Architecture/ Surveying
• Community engagement

Young Trustees

PKHT is committed to increasing the diversity of its Board including through the recruitment of younger Trustees. We would therefore particularly welcome applications from people aged up to around 30 years old. All Trustees must legally be 18 years old, so this is the minimum age for applicants.

Becoming a member of a Board is useful for a person’s CV by helping to develop skills in decision-making, governance and in how grant-funded projects operate. In return, a Board gains from having the perspective of younger people who may bring a different viewpoint and can help to better represent the community a Board serves.

We understand that younger people may have little or no Board experience and we will offer support to any we recruit with mentoring from more experienced Trustees.

Preference will be given to those based in the Perth & Kinross area.
