Headway WM has always been fortunate to have
a strong board of Trustee Directors who have been fully supportive
to the Chief Executive and forward thinking in its approach.
The board of directors of the
company are also trustees of the charity.
We are always keen to expand the Board of Trustee Directors and
expecially welcome people with different skills and from many
backgrounds.
We try to have a wide representation of people to ensure
that we have input from people of all ages, disability, sex and
race.
All Trustees receive an Induction
Pack and Directors Handbook fully explaining the roles
and responsibilities
Being a Trustee does not always require
experience and skills, we also welcome people who are able to give
their time and enthuasiasm.
We expect that a Trustee will give
a small amount of committment to turning up for meetings etc and
everything discussed in meetings is treated with the strictest
of confidence.
We are always in need of people
with the following experiences:-
- A Carer of someone with a disability.
- Work experience in a Primary Care Trust or Local Authority.
- Work experience in Health or Social Care.
- Local community involvement in the West Midlands.
- Business skills
Board meetings are held every month
(except 4 meeting per year are provsional) at the Headway
House, usually on a Monday evening between 6.30pm and 8.30pm.
The Board has a full yearly schedule of responsibilities
which include:-
- agreeing 3 year strategies
- quarterly reviews of accounts
- agreeing Annual Budgets and Staff Salaries
- Items required under Charity & Company
law
- providing support to the Chief Executive
& staff teams
Occassionally Trustees may be asked to
join a sub-committee;
they are usually set up for a particular
'one off' project or certain aspects of the management of HWM
that would benefit from Trustee input, such as Quality Standards
Review or Policy making.
If you are interested in joining our Board as a Trustee Director,
please contact David Chater by leaving your details at 0121-457-7541 or
