VACANCY: Trustee (legal, HR)

Norfolk’s leading child bereavement charity, Nelson’s Journey, is looking to recruit a new Trustee to add to the Board’s knowledge and skills in support of the charity’s objectives.

The Board is seeking applicants with legal knowledge and experience, particularly in relation to Human Resources and personnel.

Recent years have seen an increase in demand for the charity’s support and need to grow the charity’s resources.

The successful applicant will join a Board of Trustees with a diverse set of skills, and work alongside them to provide comprehensive governance for our developing services.

The Board is seeking candidates who will have specific skills and legal expertise that will enhance the Board’s governance in relation to its staff and personnel, supporting the charity to:

• review policies and practice related to employee relations, recruitment, retention, wellbeing, reward and recognition
• consider risks and impact of HR interventions in the context of changing legal requirements and best practice
• support the board and CEO to ensure that the charity is compliant with current employment law and legislation and highlight any concerns
