VOLUNTARY TRUSTEES
We are currently recruiting hard working and committed women to work on the Board of Trustees at Wandsworth Women's Aid.
The Trustees oversee the work of the charity and play a vital role in ensuring we meet our aim to support and improve the lives of women and children experiencing domestic violence.
The Board meet once a month on the third Tuesday in the month, for approximately 3 hours, so you would need to be available to come to Wandsworth to take part on that day.
We welcome women from all backgrounds and especially encourage women who may have experience of domestic violence to apply.
We would be particularly interested to hear from women with HR skills/background and a Secretary to the Board who would be responsible for taking the minutes.
