Commitment (approximately) 6 mornings per year for bi-monthly Board meetings and 4-6 mornings per year for Sub Committee meetings.
GCT is a forward thinking and ambitious charity delivering housing and care services to Older People with a range of support needs, including those who live with dementia. We offer a network of services (our circle of care) that blend in response to the circumstances of the needs of those we assist. We are also commercial landlords and own and manage a coffee shop.
Unusually, we have a vacancy on our Board of Trustees so we are seeking an individual who can contribute to the strategic direction and oversight of our diverse and expanding organisation and, ideally, someone who has the relevant skills outlined below along with a social conscience, and the commitment to make a difference.
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

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.
You will be joining a focused team that contribute to the delivery of our five-year Strategic Plan which presents both new challenges and opportunities. We work in a challenging environment where the landscape is continually changing. Budgets for support services have been drastically cut and are still reducing in real terms. This requires us to consider carefully how to protect and develop our income streams and create greater efficiency without compromising on quality. A key role for the Board, working with the CEO and Senior Leadership Team, is to determine the priorities in these circumstances.
