​​​​Volunteer Director - social enterprise

​​

We're looking for a volunteer Director to join our Management Committee. Bolsover Woodlands Enterprise is a social enterprise offering adults with a learning disability who provide land management services, manufacturing and selling rustic products. The aim of the social enterprise is to provide opportunities to develop new skills and be part of an enterprise which makes a positive contribution to the management and conservation of woodlands and countryside particularly in Bolsover and North East Derbyshire.

 

To enable us to continue to make this positive impact in our community we need a Management Committee who can provide expertise and guidance to support the delivery of our services by our dedicated team.

 

Becoming a Director of Bolsover Woodlands Enterprise Trustee is a fulfilling opportunity. Knowing you are making a difference to the lives of others and within your community is extremely rewarding. Directors are legally accountable for the operation of the Social Enterprise; its property, finances, employment of staff and the wellbeing of the volunteers.

 

Who we are looking for:

We are looking for enthusiastic and committed people to join our existing Management Committee. You may have had previous experience at Director level or within the voluntary sector and while we would welcome this it isn’t essential as we will mentor and train you.

 

Ideal candidates will have experience of one or more of the following – leadership, fundraising, legal issues, service delivery, strategy and planning, governance, human resources or IT systems.

 

Commitments:

The management committee meets between 4 - 6  times a year, usually in office hours, at our premises in Bolsover.  As a Director  you will:

 

• work as part of a team with other people on the management committee making decisions in the best interest of stakeholders

• monitor compliance with relevant laws affecting the charity including safeguarding

• approve and drive the mission statement and priorities; review delivery of those priorities, work to mitigate associated risks

• review and approve financial goals, budgets and spending

• oversee and approve operational and strategic policies.
