Irish In Britain

Irish Community Care (ICC) is a registered charity and company limited by guarantee. At Irish Community Care, people matter. We work with our communities to build strength and resilience, break down barriers and change lives. We have over 60 years’ experience of community engagement, service provision, asset-based community development, partnership, collaboration, and strategic representation. www.irishcc.net

We currently have vacancies for up to four inspiring people to join our forward-thinking Trustee Board. We wish to recruit applicants with a background in Human Resources, PR & Marketing, Fundraising and Governance.

ICC are looking for a proactive individual with PR & Marketing skills who will support ICC's plan to advance our brand identity and broaden awareness of our values and priorities; and increase its visibility across a wider audience.

ICC are seeking someone to support the organisation with Human Resources, bringing knowledge, skills, and experience within HR and/or Organisational Development.

ICC needs to increase unrestricted income and welcome applicants with a background of income generation through fundraising events and activities.

All Trustees are expected to have knowledge and understanding of the governance requirements for charities.

We are keen to recruit first time Trustees who seek governance experience in their career development. Trustees are expected to have an interest in, or direct knowledge of, the charity sector and support organisations. An Irish connection is desirable, but it is not essential. As a member of ICC Trustee Board, you will demonstrate a strong commitment to the purpose and values of the organisation and offer the skills you have towards our common goal.

The Time Commitment

ICC requires all Trustees to attend 6 Trustee Board meetings each year and to participate in the same number of Committee meetings. Meetings usually take place in the evening; via MS Teams with two in person meetings (May and November). There are occasional ‘away days’ and further duties, but the main responsibility outside formal meetings is to give support via email exchange. This role is subject to a DBS check.
