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 vital 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.

Trustees
To help us in our work, we are seeking an additional 3-4 trustees to complete our board and help us lead the charity over our next phase of strategic development.
We want our board to have a diverse range of experiences and backgrounds and are looking for strategic thinkers with a commitment to good governance and a willingness to work collaboratively and challenge constructively. Previous experience of Citizens Advice, or of being a Trustee (or equivalent), would be advantageous, but the commitment and enthusiasm to help us shape the work and strategic direction of our forward-thinking charity is essential.
We would be particularly interested to hear from people with experience in HR (especially those with current CIPD membership), Charitable Trust and Foundation fundraising, and change management. We are committed to being an inclusive workplace and we value diversity – we welcome and encourage applications from all walks of life, whatever your background or situation.
This is an exciting opportunity to be able to influence the direction of our charity, making a real difference. You will work alongside passionate and skilled colleagues and use your experience to create positive change for thousands of people in the Winchester district every year.
