About Action East Devon (AED)
Action East Devon (AED) is a small-medium sized charity and registered company delivering wellbeing and mental health services to young people across East Devon. We have a small but highly skilled team of 8 and a committed and hard working Board of Trustees.
What Difference Will You Make?
We are a small but impactful charity in East Devon and every Trustee works hard to make a difference. While having a strategic focus, our Trustees also play a very hands on role.
We know trustees bring valuable skills and experience to their role which complement our small team. We value trustees who can contribute specific knowledge, expertise and guidance by working closely with the team on subjects such as youth work, safeguarding, staffing, fundraising, strategic planning, finance, healthcare, cyber security, AI etc.
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.
All Trustees are ambassadors and keep in close touch with organisations and groups working in Action East Devon's area of operation.
What Are We Looking For?
Trustees sit on one of the two Board sub-committees either Fundraising or Strategy. You may have interest or experience in either areas, or in health or in work with young people. Our strategic development will critically depend on our dedicated people so HR experience would also be very welcome.
