TCV has an exciting opportunity as we are recruiting for three new trustee positions. It is an exciting time to be joining our TCV team as a trustee as we are launching our ambitious new strategy in 2025 and continue to drive forward an ambitious Transformation Programme.
We are looking for individuals with an interest in the work of TCV who can add a set of competencies and experience to our Board, but that also brings a genuine and unique passion for nature, and conservation volunteering.
As well as bringing in the right skillsets we pride ourselves on our diversity and representation across TCV, this is perfectly encapsulated by TCV chair of the board, Jon Towler when he said: “It is a core principle that we are here for everyone, but we have a focus on those who may find it harder to access nature and are often from urban areas of high deprivation. We are therefore passionate about ensuring that throughout our charity right up to Board level, we are as representative of the communities we serve as we can be. We are sincere when we say that we actively seek applicants from diverse backgrounds, particularly with regard to ethnicity, disability and age”.
