Marwell Zoo

South East Closing date for applications is: 29th Mar 2024
Contact: HR Team ([email protected])
Sector: Trustee
Type: Volunteer
Contract type: Part-time
Salary: o

As a registered charity, our governance and overall leadership rests with our Board of Trustees, who work alongside the Chief Executive and Director team. While membership of the Board is voluntary, and without remuneration (reasonable expenses are paid) it is a highly rewarding experience where Trustees contribute actively, and take significant responsibility for the governance and strategic direction of our organisation. Those already in this role find it extremely fulfilling and are a vital part of the Marwell family. With exciting times ahead, we are looking to complement our existing Board of Trustees with a suitably experienced and highly qualified Fundraising professional.

In addition to the generic responsibilities and skills required of Board members, Marwell requires someone who can demonstrate extensive charitable fundraising expertise, at a Director or Chief Executive level. Ideally, they will have relevant experience of fundraising governance, major giving and large-scale capital appeals.

This role, like many Board appointments, is non-executive but critical in our overall governance, leadership and understanding of best practice.

We need you to be able to devote time for four Board meetings a year, and attend and support appropriate sub-committee meetings, which are held during the day.
