Overview
Are you passionate about strengthening your community and supporting children and families to thrive? Do you want to use your skills to make a meaningful difference?
Aspire Foundation is looking for new Trustees to join our Board.
We are particularly interested in people with experience or enthusiasm in Finance, Human Resources, IT, Data & Monitoring, or securing grant funding, especially within a small‑charity environment.
As a Trustee, you’ll work alongside fellow Board members to guide the strategic direction, governance and overall management of the Foundation. Your insight and expertise will help shape the services we deliver and ensure we remain accountable, effective and forward‑thinking.
With over 20 years’ experience, Aspire Foundation provides high‑quality early intervention services and educational programmes for families with young children. Our work includes family support services, children’s centres and early years settings, all designed to give children the best possible start.
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.
In This Role, You Will
- Contribute to the effective running of the Board
- Work closely with the Organisation Strategic Lead and Senior Management Team
- Provide strategic oversight, challenge and support
- Take part in recruitment processes for senior roles within the charity
The Board meets around six times a year, usually in the late afternoon.
We welcome people who bring energy, enthusiasm and a commitment to our mission, and who can help broaden the diversity of perspectives on our Board. If you’re ready to make a real impact and support a charity with a strong track record and a big heart, we’d love to hear from you.
