Previous Job Next Job Our trustees play a vital role in making sure that Bath Welcomes Refugees achieves its core purpose. Bath Welcomes Refugees is a company limited by guarantee and a registered charity. This means that trustees are both company directors and charity trustees. The Board does not directly manage the day-to-day work, but provides oversight, shaping organisational strategy and supporting our staff and volunteers. We are more hands-on than most charity boards. Board members have a collective responsibility. This means that trustees always act as a group and not as individuals. The Trustee Board is supported by a Management Committee that is responsible for operational decision-making, covering Practical support, Language provision, Resettlement and Befriending, Social activities, Fundraising, Benefits and finance advice, Safeguarding and Communications. Trustee Duties Trustees have oversight of the overall strategy and direction of the charity. We act to ensure that the charity is meeting the needs of the people we work with, is managing risk, is managing our budget effectively, and is acting in accordance with the law and our own governing document. Even if a trustee has a specific role, all trustees remain jointly responsible for the charity. General Trustee duties: · Offer guidance and support on the organisation’s purpose, vision, goals and activities to ensure that Bath Welcomes Refugees delivers the vital work that it was set up to do, in the best possible way for the people we work with. · Scrutinise Bath Welcomes Refugees’ budgets, management accounts and financial statements, making sure that the organisation uses its resources to meet its charitable objectives and complies with the relevant regulatory requirements. · Make sure that Bath Welcomes Refugees complies with its governing documents and the relevant laws, as well as updating and reviewing its own policies and procedures. · Approve operational strategies and policies, and monitor and evaluate their implementation. · Make sure that key risks are being identified, monitored and controlled effectively. · Act, with care and skill, in Bath Welcomes Refugees’ best interests. Terms of appointment Trustees are expected to serve for three years. A trustee may be re-elected for another term of office at an Annual General Meeting. Board members are unpaid, but reasonable expenses (including travel to meetings) can be reimbursed. Specific activities you will carry out include: Attendance at an induction session about Bath Welcomes Refugees. Attendance at monthly trustee meetings (2 hours plus prep/reading: ~3 hours). These are currently held on the first Thursday of every month in the evening, and can be held in person or remotely via Google Meet. Attendance at biannual meetings with the Management Committee (2 hours plus prep/reading: ~3 hours); these can be held in person or remotely via Google Meet. Attendance at the Annual General Meeting, held in person usually in the month of July. Ad hoc attendance at fundraising/promotional events. Other support you may be able to provide for the charity according to your background and skills. As a small charity, there will be times when the trustees will need to be actively involved beyond Board meetings. This may involve developing or reviewing policies or grant applications, leading a small team to focus on a specific project, providing advice and guidance on new initiatives, representing the charity to external stakeholders, or other initiatives in which the trustee has special expertise. What we are looking for We are looking for people willing to bring energy, enthusiasm and commitment to the role, and who will broaden the diversity of thinking on our board. You do not need previous Trustee experience; we will provide a full induction, training and support. Each trustee must have: · Commitment to the rights and welfare of refugees and asylum seekers, and to Bath Welcomes Refugees’ vision, mission, and values, and a desire to use your skills and experience to make a difference for others. · Ability to think creatively and strategically, exercise good, independent judgement and work effectively as a board member. · Effective communication skills and willingness to participate actively in discussion. · A strong personal commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion. · An understanding and acceptance of legal duties, responsibilities and liabilities of being a Trustee, or a willingness to learn.

As well as grunt work like this, we need volunteers to help us behind the scenes e.g. representing us at events, fundraising, spreading the word, planning projects, building our website, producing content, social media, managing finances etc. We would love to hear from you. Perhaps you have a little time on your hands and fancy coming along one of our planting/TLC events, or perhaps you’d like to help us behind the scenes.

Visit Website Full Description of Organisation Now in its 13th year and more commonly known simply as “GOLDIES," our founder is the highly respected Bath-based musician Grenville Jones who recognised how singing and music, brightened the lives and wellbeing of the many people across his choirs.

There are now 225 fun daytime sessions in community rooms, church halls and libraries across England and Wales - taken by 70 dedicated freelance leaders. Grenville is always anxious to point out however that the charity he started, GOLDIES is NOT a choir, but singing the popular memory-evoking hits of the 60s and onwards lies at the heart of all it does. GOLDIES recognises the issues of loneliness amongst the increasing older population. It gives vulnerable people a REASON to get out, to be with others, laugh, sing out, and to make new friends. The ethos of this Charity is very simple - it is to give people something to look forward to, a REASON to get out of their homes and be with others. This can be the monthly singing session in a sheltered housing community room or in a local church or community hall . It could be a trip to the local school as part of the Time after Time project, a concert or a visit to meet and sing with another Goldies session. The songs are carefully chosen and based on the well known sing-along his of the 50s, 60s & 70s. They encourage people to clap in rhythm to the music, tap their feet, smile and more often that not ... get up and dance!

Previous Job Next Job Information for Tenderers 1) Volunteers are a vital and key part of our workforce. We currently have approximately 100 volunteers in our workforce who play a valued and critical role in helping us to achieve our charitable aims. However, there is a perception that over recent years the numbers of volunteers has fallen; both in terms of the absolute number and the amount of time they give to the Institution. More specifically, we are finding it increasingly difficult to find volunteers willing and able to take on ‘convenor’ roles (organising talks and events) and ‘management’ roles; for example we recently had to use the services of a head-hunter to find a new Treasurer as no one in our existing workforce was interested or willing to take on the role. We also have struggled to diversify our workforce, which remains predominantly white and over 65. Additionally, the number of women in senior roles is still too low. 2) Volunteer roles within BRLSI are extremely varied. Positions range from front desk to digital marketing, from curatorial roles through to Chair roles across a variety of committees. Recruitment & successful retention requires a range of approaches across the roles. 3) As a result of these challenges, there is increasing pressure to recruit paid staff to fill critical roles within BRLSI. These paid staff inevitably increase our cost base and make achieving breakeven more and more difficult. 4) This may in part be due to a macro change in working practices – with less middle managers retiring early with defined benefit pension schemes, looking for volunteer roles that can provide fulfilment and keep minds active. 5) Going forward therefore, if we wish to increase the size of audiences and range of activities, we will need to underpin these aspirations by increasing the size of our volunteer pool significantly and develop approaches to aid management succession. 6) To achieve this we are specifically looking at recruitment, role specification, volunteer satisfaction and day to day management of the volunteer workforce. A professional contractor is now sought to help us enhance our approach to recruiting and retaining volunteers (and roll out this approach) by undertaking: a) A full audit of current volunteers and their roles and satisfaction across the volunteer workforce b) Researching other charity volunteer schemes to establish best practices and useful initiatives c) Reviewing the current approach to recruitment and retention of volunteers and workforce needs to identify current gaps and weaknesses d) Setting out recommendations on how we can improve our approach to recruiting and retaining a more diverse pool of satisfied, committed & fulfilled volunteers e) Undertaking a two month pilot, working with our current staff to build the proposition & recruit additional members to our volunteer pool; including: i) Creating materials and resources using desktop publishing platforms such as Carva that can be used to attract a diverse pool of volunteers ii) Reviewing and revising our online and other promotional approaches and resources (e.g. the volunteer webpage) to make sure we have the right systems and resources in place to attract more volunteers iii) Drafting detailed volunteer specs and promoting them widely on various platforms inc. volunteer bureau, universities and any websites attracting volunteers and / or trustees. iv) Visiting major companies, universities, and institutions to talk about what we do and how people there might want to get involved; forge partnerships with organisations e.g. some may grant day release to people wanting to volunteer, or some may want to help with digital marketing etc. v) Work with Bath Spa University to identify and brief a student intern to continue work of pilot for a further three months. 7) Using learnings from the pilot project the contractor will advise on or develop tools and guidance that enable continuation the Volunteer Recruitment & Development project. Specifically; i) Advising on and developing recruitment strategies for the variety of volunteer roles at BRLSI. ii) Developing the proposition for volunteers at BRLSI including induction, benefits, social activities, partnerships with other charitable organisations iii) Assessing & advising on tools that could be used to help ongoing coordination & management of volunteers iv) Creating a ‘best practice’ handbook outlining the BRLSI volunteer proposition and providing clear written guidelines for staff to ensure long term success of the programme v) Implementing guidelines & training staff to enable the long term development of the Volunteer proposition by BRLSI staff To train the staff and / or volunteers as needed and produce a guidance note on approaches to be followed in future < All Jobs Volunteer Proposition & Development Contract Salary: £10,000 Hours: 6 month contract (Flexibility on time) Contract Type: Flexible Location: Hybrid: Bath & Remote Working Close Date: Thursday, 30 May 2024 Email Contact: james.hamilton@brlsi.org < All Jobs Previous Job Next Job Apply for Job
