Humanitarian and Conflict Trustee

Overview

We have an exciting opportunity for a Humanitarian and Conflict Trustee to join our Board of Trustees. Are you an experienced international development professional? Has your experience focused on conflict, peace building and humanitarian engagement? Are you inspired to help the global church live into its integral mission mandate?

As a Tearfund Trustee you will work as part of the wider Board to:

• Set Tearfund's strategic direction
• Ensure legal and financial compliance
• Oversee Tearfund's operations to effectively pursue its mission

Your experience in conflict affected areas, and in responding to humanitarian emergencies will be crucial in enabling the Board to understand and engage wisely with Tearfund's work in these contexts.

You will contribute to Tearfund's evolving identity, vision, strategy, partnerships, and all aspects of governance. In this non-executive, Board-level role, you will bring the benefit of deep professional experience, being able to ask strategic questions regarding approach and impact and offer helpful challenge and an external perspective to the executive team that leads this work.

All applicants must be committed to Tearfund's Christian beliefs.

Please note that this is a volunteer role and all reasonable expenses will be met.

If you are interested in joining Tearfund's Board and believe that you have the skills and experience we are looking for,
please apply with a CV and cover note to francis.connolly
, explaining your motivation to work with Tearfund. If you would prefer to submit a video rather than a written cover note, you would be very welcome to do so.

The recruitment process will include specific checks related to safeguarding. In addition, personal identification information will be submitted against a Watchlist database to check against criminal convictions as a counter-terror measure.
