Job description

We’re looking for passionate trustees who can proactively work with the Board, Director, Operations Team and Staff to guide the charity and strengthen our community services. Previous board/trustee experience is not necessary, and we welcome applications from all ages and backgrounds. Being a trustee is an excellent way to develop your management and leadership skills, gain experience to help you progress your professional career, and develop transferable skills that make interesting differentiators on your CV.

Previous trustee experience isn’t necessary to join our board. You’ll be part of a trustee induction process, mentoring system and have access to training and support to help you develop your skills. If you’re passionate about what The Farm does and keen to get involved, we want to hear from you. Read more about being a trustee for the Farm here.

2. We’ll review your application and may invite you to observe meetings.
3. If it feels right for both of us, you’ll join as a trustee after a quick membership process and background check.

If you have any questions, please contact Farm Director Jenny on director@swcityfarm.co.uk who will put you in touch with one of the current Board of Trustees for an informal chat.
