Do you have the passion and values to become one of our trustees?

 

As an enduring and dynamic charity that never stands still, Citizens Advice Gateshead is looking to add to its team of trustees - the people who advise and guide the charity in our development and growth. We're looking for people who share our passion and values, who will support us to deliver our mission to mobilise knowledge so the system works, it works for everyone, and it powers the changes we need to be an equal and inclusive society.

In return, you'll be working with an award-winning charity - recently winning the Gateshead Charity of the Year and the North East England Chamber of Commerce Business Diversification Award - and a progressive organisation recognised as one of the Best Places to Work in the UK.

If you'd like to know more about the role of a trustee, why the charity values them so much and how you can apply, you can download our Trustee Recruitment Pack here!
