Trustees Vacancies
COMMUNITY TRUSTEE
An exciting opportunity has been made available to someone in the local area to take on a voluntary position of Community Trustee for Worthing Counselling Centre.
We are seeking new Trustees with a general interest or understanding in our area of work to bring insights, networks and creativity to the role.
Worthing Counselling Centre (WCC) formerly known as Offington Counselling Service was established as a registered charity in Worthing in 1983, we have helped support thousands of people in our community making changes to their lives and relationships to improve their emotional mental health and wellbeing. The ethos of our service is to make counselling as widely available and affordable as possible, no one is excluded from counselling because of cost.
We are particularly keen to recruit members of the community who have skills/expertise in business management, fundraising and marketing and join our current experienced board of Trustees and staff, adding to and enhancing our dynamic approach to supporting our local community, could this be you?
If you’re interested in applying for this role please email your CV or supporting statement to info@worthingcounselling.org for the attention of the Chair of Trustees Debra Schneider
Closing date: Wednesday 31st January 2024
We always welcome expressions of interest from people who would be interested in becoming a Trustee of Worthing Counselling Centre.
The main function of the Trustee Board is to govern the charity and to determine its strategic direction. The Trustees have a responsibility to ensure financial viability and compliance with relevant legislation. The Board strives to maintain an appropriate balance of skills and expertise at its disposal, and currently would be particularly, though not exclusively, interested in people with experience of property and HR. Residence and established contacts in the Worthing area would be an advantage but not essential.
The trustees meet four times a year and on other occasions to address specific subjects where necessary. Trustees are also encouraged to lend their specific expertise by way of advice and mentoring to the small part-time management team, and have a visible presence amongst the volunteer counsellors and staff.
For more information on this voluntary role, please contact our Chair of Trustees, Debra Schneider via info@worthingcounsellingcentre.org

We would love for you to offer fundraising ideas, help to organise or run events, or simply raise our profile in the community . There is no minimum commitment required, just as much as you are able to offer. So if you are a great organiser, want to help out at events, have ideas to share or just want to be part of a local charity please get in touch.
