TRUSTEES – TWO OPPORTUNITIES
Reading Almshouse Charity – “Housing with Heart”
Reading, Berkshire | Voluntary
Would you like to use your experience to make a genuine difference in your local community?
Following two successful recent Trustee appointments, Reading Almshouse Charity is continuing to strengthen its Board and is looking for two more people to join at an exciting time for the organisation.
For generations, the charity has provided safe, affordable homes and supportive communities for people across Reading and Earley. Today, it supports over 100 residents across three sites and has ambitions to develop and grow its impact further.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.

This is an opportunity to do much more than attend Board meetings. We’re looking for Trustees who want to contribute ideas, ask good questions and play an active part in shaping the charity’s future.
Previous Trustee experience isn’t essential. We’re interested in people who bring useful professional or lived experience, fresh perspectives and, importantly, a genuine connection with what Reading Almshouse Charity is trying to achieve.
You’ll work alongside an engaged Board, providing strategic oversight, supporting good governance and helping ensure the charity remains sustainable and relevant for future generations.

The commitment includes four Board meetings each year, alongside committee involvement and preparation time. Meetings are held during the daytime in Reading.
If you’ve considered becoming a Trustee but wondered whether your experience is relevant, we’d particularly encourage you to get in touch. A great Board benefits from different backgrounds, experiences and ways of thinking.
