External Trustee - #1720114

Inclusive Boards is pleased to be supporting The University of Birmingham Guild of Students in their search for an External Trustee. The University of Birmingham Guild of Students (The Guild) is a charity and the students’ union for more than 38,000 students. They represent their members to the University and other organisations on the issues that matter to students most. They also exist to help students develop skills outside of study, have fun, meet people and make sure their time at Birmingham is special. The Guild has a long and varied history as a cornerstone of the University experience.

The Guild is looking for a professional to join their Trustee Board as an External Trustee. The Trustee Board is ultimately responsible for overseeing the affairs of the Guild. The Trustees must ensure that the Guild is well run and delivers the objectives for which it has been set up. The Guild welcomes applications from a wide range of backgrounds that are reflective of the full diversity of Birmingham’s community and the West Midlands, and in particular we welcome applications from people of colour as we seek to continually increase diversity within our governance structures.

We are particularly interested to hear from candidates with a background in Strategic Financial Management and previous experience as a Students’ Union Officer, but these are not essential.

To find out more, request support when applying, or have an informal confidential discussion before applying, please get in touch with one of our consultants by emailing [email protected].
