Volunteer Trustee Opportunity at Essex Community Foundation
We're looking for new volunteer Trustees to join the Board of Essex Community Foundation (ECF) and help shape our future impact.
Who are we?
We provide grants to charities and voluntary organisations in Essex.
We do this by working with individuals, families, businesses, charitable trusts, and public agencies, helping them to find and fund local groups that are tackling the issues they care about most. Last year we gave away over £3.7 million.
As a Trustee, you'll help guide our work, share your expertise, and support our long-term impact.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
We're particularly interested in hearing from people with experience in:
- Finance, investment, accountancy, or business management
- Health or government policy, campaigning, or advocacy
- Marketing, communications, or community engagement
Time commitment: Approximately four board meetings and four committee meetings per year, plus optional events, grant panels, and visits to funded organisations.
Why join us?
It's a rewarding opportunity to use your skills for good, work alongside passionate people, and help make a real difference in communities across Essex.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and are committed to building a Trustee Board that reflects the diversity of the communities we serve.
📅 Application deadline: 4 November
