Join the VODA Board of Trustees

North Tyneside VODA is looking for new Trustees to help shape the future of the voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) sector in North Tyneside. We are seeking passionate advocates for local communities to join our Board as General Trustees and a Finance Trustee.

The Finance Trustee will support the Board in overseeing VODA’s financial governance, while General Trustees will help provide strategic leadership and direction for the organisation.

We’re looking for people with strong communication and interpersonal skills who share VODA’s values of being collaborative, enabling, accessible and innovative, and who are committed to ensuring our staff feel safe, valued and fulfilled at work.

Board meetings are held in person at VODA approximately five times a year, with a minimum commitment of just 2–4 hours every two months. Trustees can also choose to become involved in Board subgroups, although this is not essential.

This is a rewarding opportunity to use your skills and experience to support an organisation that works with more than 700 charities, community groups and social enterprises, helping strengthen communities across North Tyneside.

If you would like to have an informal chat and find out more about being a VODA trustee, please contact CEO Vicky Smith at vicky.smith@voda.org.uk.
