What you’ll be doing day to day

Corra’s Trustees play a hugely important role in Corra. They guide the foundation, setting strategy and making sure we’re having a positive impact. They are responsible for governance, overseeing good financial management, ensuring Corra is a good employer and protecting our reputation.

Who we think you’ll be

We’re looking for people who care about Corra’s mission, and come with an engaged and committed mindset, ready to have their voice heard in conversations about what we do and why. We hope to increase the diversity of our Board, and balance experience and enthusiasm across our group of Trustees.

We’d love to hear from you if you have strong skills and experience in one of these areas:

Charity accounting and audit – either as a qualified accountant working in a medium to large charity at a senior level, or an audit manager/partner specialising in the charity sector.

More information can be found in our Trustee recruitment pack.

Diversity of our Board is a vital part of our commitments to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI), and to becoming an anti-racist organisation. We would particularly welcome applications from disabled people and people from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic communities.
