St Luke’s Advice Service (SLAS) is an established money and benefits advice service and charity based at the Brighthelm Centre, near Brighton Station. We provide practical, compassionate support to some of the most vulnerable people in Brighton & Hove, helping them to navigate financial hardship, claim benefits, and regain stability in their lives.
As a trustee you will ensure the charity is properly run and its service is effective for its stakeholders. We are specifically, looking for someone with experience in Communications (including social media, grant applications and oversight of fundraising) to support the management of the service and help guide our next chapter.
We are currently seeking people who have an affinity with what we do and bring transferable skills, both in terms of trustee responsibilities and the specific area of responsibility.
Skills
Trustee with responsibility for Communication and Fundraising, we are particularly interested in individuals with experience in:
• Written and social media communications and planning stakeholder management.
• Ensuring that all types of external communications are compelling and effective.
• Managing a pipeline of income, not necessarily fund-raising, but that would be an added advantage.
Benefits
- Make a real difference in Brighton and Hove - help change people's lives for the better
- Be part of a dynamic and fun team at St Luke's Advice Service
- Enhance your skills and experience by sharing your skills and experiences, and learning and applying new skills and knowledge.
Practical Considerations
Location: Brighton & Hove city centre, but most meetings are by videocall.
Time Commitment: Approximately 6–8 hours per month made up of Board Meetings held quarterly, plus annual strategy and vision day and some hands-on management support in between. Can be delivered mainly remotely or through hybrid working with occasional office visits.
Remuneration: Voluntary (reasonable expenses reimbursed)
