Trustees of HHE are expected to enter a positive and proactive relationship with the Charity and its staff, as well as providing oversight and guidance for its future strategy and fulfilling the necessary statutory governance obligations.
What are we looking for?
We are looking for committed individuals to expand the range of Trustee skills as well as to consolidate existing skills, who can support the future growth of the Charity. We require dynamic and motivated people who are sympathetic to the aims and objectives of Hearing Help Essex to fulfil these voluntary duties.
We are looking for two new Trustees, preferably with a background in HR and/or legal professions. Our current board has 5 members who are fully committed to the charity’s objectives.
