    What you will be doing


    Objective:
    Trustees are responsible for giving direction to The Passage and ensuring it meets its objectives effectively.

    They are concerned with the policy, strategy and monitoring of the organisation; day-to-day management is delegated to paid professional staff who report to the Board of Trustees.

    The Trustee Board normally comprises between 9 and 12 Trustees, who are appointed initially for a period of 3 years and can be re-appointed for 2 further periods of 3 years up to a maximum of 9 years.

    Principle responsibilities
    The formal duties of the Board of Trustees collectively are to:

    Ensure that The Passage complies with its Memorandum and Articles of Association, charity law, company law and any other relevant legislation or regulations.

    Ensure that The Passage pursues its charitable objects as defined in its memorandum of association.
    Ensure The Passage applies its resources exclusively in pursuance of its objects.

    Give clear strategic direction to the organisation, setting overall policy, defining goals, setting targets and evaluating performance against agreed targets.

    Safeguard the good name and the values of The Passage.
    Ensure the effective and efficient administration of The Passage.
    Ensure the financial stability of The Passage.
    Protect and manage the property of The Passage and to ensure the proper investment of its funds.
    Appoint the Chief Executive, monitor their performance and determine their remuneration.
    Act at all times in the best interests of The Passage, and declare any conflicts of interest.
    Expectations
    In order to fulfil the role of Trustees effectively, all Trustees are expected to:

    Attend Board meetings, currently held quarterly.
    Attend and participate in the Board's annual strategic planning day held on a weekday (usually off-site).

    Visit The Passage from time to time to build an awareness of the work and develop an understanding of the needs of the different teams.

    Occasionally attend functions on behalf of The Passage, liaise with other Trustees and the Senior Executive Team in between Board meetings.

    Read Board papers in advance of meetings and come prepared to discuss key points arising from those papers.
    Complete the trustee induction process.
    As part of the Board's ongoing Development Process participate in a one-to-one annual review with the chairman.
    Essential

    An understanding of and commitment to The Passage's vision, mission and values, including stakeholder engagement and diversity.
    Empathy with the essential principles of public life: selflessness, integrity, objectivity, accountability, openness, honesty and leadership.

    The ability to think strategically and creatively, with an ability to anticipate issues and risks, and to identify opportunities.

    Legal expertise, especially in the areas of commercial property transactions, particularly in the social housing sector.
    The ability to use good independent judgement and to challenge appropriately as a "critical friend".
    The ability to work effectively as a member of a team in order to reach timely decisions. This includes being able to speak openly in discussion, whilst listening and respecting the views of others.
    Understanding and acceptance of the legal duties, responsibilities and liabilities of trusteeship.
    Willingness to devote the necessary time and effort to the role.

    The ability to act as an ambassador for the Passage, to champion its mission and promote its reputation and image, and to establish useful contacts.

    Excellent networking with other members of relevant sectors, and influencing and communicating skills.
    Demonstrable success in a private, charitable or public sector organisation.
    Desired

    Good understanding of charity and/or social housing sector.

    A good knowledge of relevant general legislation and statutory requirements, including charity law, employment law and/or health and safety law.

    Experience of successfully dealing with strategic issues and involvement in longer term planning.

    Above all we are looking for inspiring and committed individuals who have a genuine desire to support people, and to help them to rebuild their lives.
