Together Now are looking to expand their board and would like to appoint two new trustees. Together Now are a small charity and the current trustees play various roles within the organisation, some taking a more traditional trustee role and some being more hands on with the work we do. All trustees have good involvement with the case load as well as strategic decision making. 
This is an exciting time for the organisation as Together Now have recently seen a rise in the number of cases they are able to take on and in the types of work they carry out. This is in part due to new partnerships and grants received for their work. The current focus is building their capacity and improving their offer to clients as well as looking at securing longer term funding.
Prospective trustees should be:
• Enthusiastic and have an interest in refugee related issues
• Willing to take an active role in the organisation
• Confident in taking part in meetings
• Competent with IT as much work is carried out remotely via email
Together Now are particularly keen to hear from candidates with the following:
• Lived experience of the family reunion process in the UK
• Work or voluntary experience with refugees and asylum seekers
• Knowledge of income generation and development in the third sector
• Experience of developing relationships with businesses and/or partnership working
• Marketing and/or fundraising experience
Although there is no formal interview process Together Now would like to arrange for prospective trustees to meet one or more current board members.
To apply email a CV and covering letter explaining how your skills and experience match the requirements for the role to: [email protected].
