Devon health and wellbeing charity seeks new Trustees for its next exciting chapter

Westbank Community Health and Care, a successful health and wellbeing charity that’s continuing to grow and extend its services across the whole of Devon, is on the lookout for new Trustees who can offer their experience and a fresh perspective to support the governance and growth of an award-winning organisation.

The charity provides a multitude of community-based health and wellbeing services across the county, delivered by a team of staff and volunteers.  Westbank’s Board of Trustees, all volunteers, bring their diverse range of skills to the charity, helping people of all ages to live fulfilled, healthier, happier lives for longer and maintain their independence for as long as possible.

Westbank is in a dynamic stage of expansion and is seeking people who want to make a difference. It currently has opportunities for several new Trustees, specifically those with Finance, Business, people management and / or legal expertise.

CEO Sarah Hicks says, “Are you the special someone we’re looking for? As a Board member you would help shape the direction of our charity and provide a valuable layer of operational and financial governance. You would become part of a motivated (and fun!) team of Trustees who make a real difference to our community. We aren't too demanding of your time; you would be asked to attend a 2-hour Board Meeting quarterly in Exminster, near Exeter, and ideally commit to a few extra hours in between. Unless, of course, you want to do more!

“I can promise you a very warm welcome and the opportunity to put your skillset to fantastic use helping others, including some of the most vulnerable in our community. Next year will mark the charity’s 40th anniversary and, as a Trustee, you will be helping steer Westbank towards the next exciting chapter. Does that sound like a role for you? If so, we’d love to hear from you.”

Westbank welcomes applications from individuals regardless of their specific skills. However, the Board of Trustees would particularly benefit from expertise in the areas of Finance, Commercial law and fundraising or income generation.
