SYRLJ are looking for new trustees! Could you support our vital work providing legal services to people seeking sanctuary and working to increase access to justice in South Yorkshire and beyond?
Our trustees play a vital role in making sure that SYRLJ delivers on its charitable aims. They ensure that SYRLJ has a clear strategy and that our work and goals are in line with our mission and our values. Just as importantly, they support, challenge and oversee the Director and Legal Director in their roles managing the overall operations and administration of the charity. Board members have a collective responsibility to ensure that the organisation is compliant, accountable and meeting its charitable objectives.
We are particularly looking for people lived experience of seeking sanctuary, and/or those who can bring skills, experience and perspectives in areas such as human resources, governance, policy and regulatory frameworks.
If you want to find out more, please contact Gary Bell (Chair) for an informal discussion – gary.bell@syrlj.org.uk.
If you would like to apply for the role, please get in touch with our recruitment team via recruitment@syrlj.org.uk and we will send you a more detailed information pack. The closing date for applications is Monday 13th October. Interviews will take place towards the end of October, with the aim for new Trustees to be in place in November.
