Have you been told “be patient, your opportunities will come”? We don't want you to wait. Take an opportunity to lead & do something meaningful. Build your CV & get leadership experience. We want the next generation of leaders. We want YOU.

What You'll Do:

The RSPCA is the UK’s leading animal welfare charity. No, we don't need you to shake a collection tin - this is not 1982. We need your new ideas, your digital skills, your understanding of social networks and eCommerce. We want to give opportunities to the next generation of leaders to become Trustees. Trustees run Charities like Boards run Companies. As a Trustee you will be a full and equal member of our leadership team. Deciding what to do, how we raise and spend money, organising events, working as a team to help animals within our region.

If you want to work directly with animals, you can. If you prefer to be behind the scenes making things run smoothly, you can. We need many different skills on our Board of Trustees so we can get things done. Do you think you can contribute? Then let's work together.

Trustees manage the RSPCA Middlesbrough, South Tees & District Branch charity. Like any company we get involved in finance, people and legal topics, making strategies and monitoring our progress. More importantly, we focus on raising funds, managing volunteers and spending money where it is needed to support animals in our region - YOUR region. So, whatever your background or skills there is a role you can play. We support all types of animals and we seek all types of people - diversity is our strength.

The Board meets every month to update each other and make decisions. Beyond that you may be helping to organise fundraising events, assessing which projects to support, tracking progress on vaccination programs, working with local vets to offer more support out of hours, or making sure our volunteers are well managed and motivated.

What We're Looking For:
