Just as the young people we work with need great people to work alongside them on the frontline, we need great trustees to sit behind the scenes.
Our trustees are people who are able to analyse performance, encourage development and ask the right questions as we move forward.
What difference will you make?
We have recently embarked on a programme of redevelopment which will create more accommodation for young people in Doncaster. This will be the main steer for our work across the next three to five years.
Our trustees are leading the development process, including engagement with consultancy and design services, and will be key to shaping the future provision.
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.
What are we looking for?
We would particularly value trustees with strategic level experience in finance, buildings development or fundraising (particularly grants and individual giving).
We are also open to people who have senior-level experience of project management.
These skills will be key both for our development progress and for the continued support and scrutiny of our day-to-day work.
Hybrid
What will you be doing?
Risk, finance, quality, strategy and policy feature heavily in our Board’s work, always underpinned by doing what is right for young people in Doncaster.
We currently meet about eight times a year on Wednesday evenings at 6.30pm. We also hold separate meetings for smaller sub groups or task-and-finish work.

We are keen to include people with experiences in the public, private or voluntary sectors and from a range of social backgrounds.
Our current turnover is around £700,000 and we have 20 paid staff. We would welcome a trustee who understands the unique challenges of running – and growing – an organisation of a similar size.
We offer reasonable travel expenses where needed, opportunities to connect with people in similar trusteeships in YMCAs across the world, and a chance to use your wisdom and experience in shaping services that make a real difference to young lives in Doncaster.
