Trustees

The Avon Centre is a riding, therapeutic and outdoor-learning centre based in a wonderful woodland setting by Blaise Castle. We are already recognised for our high standards in our work with Disabled people, including physically, sensory and learning Disabled people, and we are branching out into supporting people facing other forms of disadvantages.

The people who use our facilities gain so much in terms of physical and mental-health, confidence and new friendships.

By joining our Board, you’ll be ensuring we can continue to make a real difference to the lives of the children, young people and adults who use our facilities.

We are looking to recruit up to 3 new trustees. You’ll have a commitment to our purpose and ethos, plus experience in one of the following areas;

•          HR

•          Land and buildings management

•          Funding and finance

The time commitment will vary but you’ll definitely get back everything you put in! The minimum commitment is attendance at 4 meetings per year, held in Bristol at the Centre.

We are particularly interested to hear from you if you have lived experience you’d be willing to share to help us make our services even more accessible.

It would be helpful if you already have trustee or other experience of the voluntary sector but not essential. Whether you are an experienced Trustee or wanting to take the first step at Board level, if you share our ethos, we'd like to hear from you.

All Trustees with The Avon Centre are required to complete a DBS

(and other) checks prior to their appointment. A copy of our Safe &

 Fair Recruitment Policy can be found on the website.
