Summary

We are looking for a Trustee with marketing and communications skills

Detailed description

Over the past four years, the charity has gone from strength to strength and we are now looking to expand our Board of Trustees to help shape the future. It’s an exciting time to join the Board as we work to build on our programmes for individuals, our community and businesses. 


We’re now looking for someone who can make a significant hands-on impact in shaping our charity’s future, with a particular focus on creativity, energy and expertise in communications. This is a unique opportunity to develop the way we tell our story, connect with communities, and inspire more people to support our work.


As a Trustee, you’ll play a vital role in guiding our overall strategy and ensuring we remain true to our mission. With your marketing and communications know-how, you will:

  • Help us strengthen our voice and grow our profile
  • Maintain, update and develop our Wordpress website
  • Support our use of digital channels, media and storytelling to reach our audiences
  • Champion inclusive, accessible communication so that everyone feels part of our journey
  • Act as an ambassador, sharing our work with your networks and beyond.

You’ll also contribute to the wider responsibilities of a Trustee, ensuring good governance, sustainability and impact.


We are fully committed to eliminating discrimination and promoting equality and diversity in the work we undertake and in the provision of all our services. We welcome applications from a wide range of individuals; passion for the organisation and our work is key, along with an understanding of and a commitment to the legal function of the trustee role. Experience of the charitable sector is desirable but not essential.


If you’re interested in applying, please send us the following:

● an up-to-date CV, biography or LinkedIn profile

● a short supporting statement explaining how you believe your skills and experience would add value to Sew Positive

● Details of any business or other interests which might give rise to conflict of interest, and how you could address this should your application be successful.


If you have any queries about any aspect of the appointment process, need additional information or would like to have an informal and confidential discussion then please contact us.
