Could you be a Trustee at My Sight Notts?

Are you looking for a rewarding and varied role where you can make a difference to your local community by becoming a charity trustee? My Sight Nottinghamshire is currently recruiting new trustees to join our board.

We are local charity, with big ambitions to develop an innovative portfolio of services for local people with sight loss. Our vision is: Independence, inclusion and empowerment for people across Nottinghamshire. We provide emotional support, practical advice, information and training; together with a range of adapted leisure activities, helping local people with visual impairments to live life to the full.

We aim to strengthen our board’s skill set and build new partnerships, which will help us to develop our service portfolio over the coming years.

People with sight loss are at the heart of everything we do at My Sight Notts and we’re committed to maintaining a board which comprises over 50% of trustees with lived experience of sight loss, so we especially welcome trustee applications from people visual impairments.

We will consider candidates from all backgrounds and we are specifically seeking applicants with skills and experience in:

  • Employment Law
  • Human Resources
  • Optometry
  • Income Generation

We are also committed to increasing the diversity of our Board of Trustees to ensure we reflect the diverse communities we work in. This means we are also particularly keen to welcome applications from people from black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds.

The rewards of joining My Sight Notts are huge; you’ll be joining a team of dedicated, lively and engaged trustees whose meetings are stimulating, friendly and constructive. If you think you could contribute to the board of trustees of one of Nottinghamshire’s leading and oldest charities and you’re able to spare six evenings a year to attend bi-monthly board meetings, we’d like to hear from you.
