Job Summary

Become a Trustee for the last remaining ethical Society in the UK and help shape our next chapter.

Job Description

Ethics is our foundation. Conway Hall has been a hub for ethical thought and dialogue since it opened in 1929 as the home of what is now the Conway Hall Ethical Society, a membership organisation and educational charity with a history spanning over two centuries.

As a Trustee, you will be actively involved in the strategic direction, governance and decision making of Conway Hall Ethical Society, ensuring we stay true to our guiding mission, vision and strategic priorities. You will have the opportunity to apply your own skills, expertise, knowledge and networks towards our vision of a fairer, more compassionate society with ethics at its heart, to help navigate the complexity of being human. You don't need any prior experience of being a Trustee, training will be provided where needed.

In addition to developing new skills, being a Trustee also allows you to see the positive impact your decisions have on people's lives, the communities we serve and the direction of our historic society.

Job Requirements

We're looking for people with:

- Independent judgement and an ability to think creatively
Good interpersonal and communication skills
- An ability to contribute and engage well with a group of experienced, enthusiastic, and committed Trustees and staff
- The vision, planning, and organisational skills to help steer the future direction of Conway Hall
- An ability to manage uncertainty, especially financial, and act within tight resources
- A willingness to learn about and understand the legal duties, responsibilities, and liabilities of trusteeship

Job Responsibilities

There is one Trustee meeting every three months, which usually lasts between one and two hours. But there are also additional committees and working groups, which Trustees are actively encouraged to join, as well as some documents and reports to read before meetings.
