Trustee vacancies

Do you have a passion for Hertfordshire? We are looking for two trustees to join our Board of Trustees to help make Hertfordshire a better place, for everyone:

These vacancies have arisen as two of our current Trustees complete their full terms in September, and we are immensely grateful for their dedication and service.

The role
As a Trustee, you will play a key part in providing strategic direction, supporting good governance, and ensuring the long-term success of HCF. You will contribute to Board and Committee discussions, attend events, and help identify new relationships and supporters.

We are particularly interested in candidates with:
  • Finance/accounting experience

  • Governance expertise

  • Community voluntary sector knowledge



We welcome applications from people with a broad range of backgrounds, and our aim is for our Board to reflect the diversity of Hertfordshire. Previous trustee experience is not required – what matters most is your energy, ideas, and commitment to our mission.

Requirements:
  • Attend up to four Board meetings per year and an annual strategy planning day

  • Contribute advice and support through Committee meetings and on an ad hoc basis

  • Attend HCF events and represent HCF when required

  • Help identify and foster new donors and supporters



All reasonable travel and out-of-pocket expenses will be reimbursed, and a full induction will be provided.

How to apply
To apply, please submit your CV and a short statement outlining your interest and relevant experience to paul.robin@hertscf.org.uk before 12 June 2026.

For an informal chat, contact Paul Robin, CEO, 01707 280339
