Prospectus, recruitment consultancy specialists working exclusively with the not for profit sector, are supporting Trustees' Week this year. Finding and recruiting the right people for your charity board can be problematic, and charities often aren't aware of the wealth of guidance available to them. The success of any organisation, regardless of its size, is down to the way it is governed and led, and the role of a trustee, chair or treasurer holds great responsibility. Charities must take trustee recruitment as seriously as staff recruitment, and look beyond their immediate networks and reach out to a wide group of people as potential trustees.
Prospectus have provided model job descriptions and person specifications for charities to use as resources when hiring chairs, trustees and treasurers. They can be used as a template and clearly outline the statutory duties of each role, and the kind of knowledge and experience the candidate should hold.
Over the next three weeks, these documents will be rolled out in a series. This week's instalment is for the role of a trustee.
So, charities: download the models, use them, and be inspired to cast your recruiment net wider!

Trustees are the people in charge of a charity. They play a vital role, volunteering their time and working together to make important decisions about the charity's work. Trustees' Week is an annual event to showcase the great work that trustees do and highlight opportunities for people from all walks of life to get involved and make a difference. Trustees’ Week 2015 is 2–8 November, and is being officially launched at the NCVO / BWB Trustee Conference on 2 November 2015.
