As a local, independent charity Citizens Advice Winchester District has its own Board of Trustees who are responsible for deciding how our local service is run and making sure our charity is fulfilling its purpose.
Being a trustee is a hugely important role and many trustees find it really rewarding to put their skills and knowledge to use, gain experience of strategy and leadership, and give something back to their local community.
Current vacancies
We’re currently seeking a new Chair of Trustees, and three additional trustees to complete our board and help us lead the charity over our next phase of development. We would be especially interested to hear from applicants with experience of managing change, as the local government reorganisation currently underway is likely to impact us.
Chair
As our Chair, you’ll have excellent communication skills with great leadership qualities, strategic and analytical skills, be able to deliver the vision of the charity, help us to ‘live’ our values, and bring people together. Previous experience of being a Chair is essential and experience of the voluntary sector desirable and we welcome applications from anyone who feels they have the skills to fulfil the role.

Trustees
We’re also looking for three additional trustees to join our board. We want our board to have a diverse range of experiences and backgrounds, so if you think you’re not a typical trustee, then you might be just what we’re looking for! You don’t need to have had experience of Citizens Advice, or of being a trustee – just a commitment and enthusiasm to help us shape the work and strategic direction of our forward-thinking charity.
