The new trustees will contribute to the strategic oversight and stewardship of VODG, helping to ensure that the charity remains well governed, sustainable and focused on its mission.
Trustees are appointed to act in the best interests of VODG as a whole, rather than to represent a particular organisation or interest. However, the knowledge and experience trustees bring from leading their own organisations enriches the Board’s collective thinking and decision-making.
As part of this recruitment, VODG would particularly welcome applications from:
- leaders of organisations dedicated to supporting people with sensory impairments;
- leaders with relevant experience of housing;
- leaders with experience of services for children and young people; and
- leaders of larger member organisations, including those with a turnover of £100 million or above.
These areas may overlap and do not necessarily equate to one trustee vacancy each. Applications are welcomed from any eligible leader who shares VODG’s values and believes they could make a meaningful contribution.
Board Representation
VODG wants its Board to reflect the breadth of its membership and the people and communities its members support.
Applications are particularly encouraged from disabled and/or Deaf leaders, leaders with lived experience of disability or long-term health conditions, people from minoritised ethnic communities, and others who remain under-represented in governance and leadership roles.
