TRUSTEE POSITIONS
SUMMARY
Aylesbury Women’s Aid supports women and children rebuilding their lives after domestic abuse. We are seeking trustees to guide our future – bringing expertise in finance, governance, HR, social work, digital, or other skills to strengthen our board.
About the opportunity
Aylesbury Women’s Aid is entering a pivotal phase of operational transition. As we evolve our internal structures, strengthen governance, and adapt our services to meet growing and complex needs, we are expanding our Board of Trustees to bring in fresh expertise and strategic insight.
All our positions are restricted to women due to the nature of the role.
The Occupational Requirement under Schedule 9 (part 1) of the Equality Act 2010 applies
