Summary

We are going through a re-structure and are looking for applicants with governance backgrounds and awareness of safeguarding to become trustees of our charity.

Detailed description

As we continue to grow and strengthen our services, we're actively seeking individuals who are committed to our cause and can bring valuable expertise to our organisation. As a trustee, you would be an integral part of the Charity’s governance. You’d meet people from different cultures, backgrounds, take part in the committee meetings knowing you are contributing to a worthwhile cause and acquiring new skills perhaps in areas unfamiliar to you. 


This role is suited to candidates who can demonstrate professional or skills-based knowledge of benefit to the charity. We would particularly welcome applications from people with experience in the third sector, PR, fundraising, governance, risk management, management and law, and accountancy.


You would be helping us deliver our important work, of helping to create a world where individuals with learning disabilities are not just seen but are valued equally, heard, and included. Our commitment goes beyond providing services; it's about fostering a community that embraces diversity, champions fairness, and stands up for what is right. With a foundation built on trust, care, and positivity, we strive to empower those we serve to lead fulfilling lives, actively engage in their communities, and access opportunities available to everyone.


The role of Trustee is one that can offer considerable satisfaction, as well as various challenges. It does require time and commitment, but it is an incredibly rewarding role where you can make a real difference. The people here at Mid Norfolk Mencap will support you fully to be the best you can be in your role.

About Mid Norfolk Mencap

At Mid Norfolk Mencap, we believe in creating a world where individuals with learning disabilities are not just seen but are valued equally, heard, and included. Our commitment goes beyond providing services; it's about fostering a community that embraces diversity, champions fairness, and stands up for what is right. With a foundation built on trust, care, and positivity, we strive to empower those we serve to lead fulfilling lives, actively engage in their communities, and access opportunities available to everyone.

We have a residential home which offers care for up to ten adults with Learning Disabilities. Our aim is to provide a happy, friendly and safe home environment and to meet the individual needs of each and every resident. Every resident has their own room which is decorated to suit their own style and personality, as well as bright communal areas and several outdoor spaces where residents can take their leisure.

We also run a community outreach support service where a dedicated team of staff offer community support to adults with learning disabilities. This service is to support and enable individuals to lead fulfilling lives, and empower them to make informed choices and take responsibility for the choices they make, supporting them when they are confronted with difficulties and building upon their positive experiences.
