Trustees don't run the day-to-day work. Our youth workers do that. What trustees bring is oversight, judgement, and willingness to ask good questions. We're looking for people who bring real expertise, are willing to learn, and care about young people getting a fair chance.
What difference will you make?
As a TRAIN trustee, you'll help steer the charity's strategy, make sure we're financially and operationally sound, and ensure we deliver for the young people in Didcot and Wallingford we exist to serve.
Your tasks include:
- Attending quarterly board meetings
- The option to join one of our two sub-committees — Finance and Fundraising, or Quality and Impact — depending on your skills and interests
- Bringing your professional expertise and networks to bear on our strategy and risk
- Supporting and constructively challenging the CEO and staff team
- Helping us stay accountable to young people, funders and regulators

We’re looking for trustees with a passion for working with young people. That's the one thing we ask for. Everything else — your sector, your background, your experience — we can work with. If you're unsure whether your background fits what we're looking for, get in touch anyway — we'd rather have that conversation than miss out on the right person.
