Trustee Vacancy

Community Foundation staff wear matching pink hoodies. They stand in a line outside.

Do you have a professional background in accounting and want to play your part making Norfolk a better place to live today and tomorrow?

Do you have the personal drive and ambition to help us make Norfolk a more vibrant and equitable county? Would you like to learn and understand the issues facing our communities? Can you help us change and develop as we continue to be more innovative as a Community Foundation?

The retirement of one of our Trustees has created a vacancy in our Audit and Risk Committee. As a Trustee, you’ll play an important role in helping us to achieve our ambitions of making local communities thrive and improving the lives of people who live there.

We are looking for a qualified accountant who may also have experience of financial planning and risk assessment, of charity finance and/or social investment. Our dream candidate might also have investment management experience! Previous Board/Trustee experience is not necessary.
