Bold Voices are looking for new board members to fill skills gaps and to support as we consolidate our operational running and growth in the future.
Bold Voices is an award-winning CIC Ltd by guarantee working in schools across the UK delivering education on gender inequality and gender-based violence.
We appreciate that terms such as ‘gender-based’ or ‘sexual’ violence can be challenging and daunting, particularly when it comes to discussions with pupils. The reality is that young people are not shielded from these issues and they are experiencing forms of gender-based violence every day - in school, on the streets, at university, in their relationships and increasingly online. Keeping our young people safe and healthy means ensuring they have the right spaces for learning about and discussing these issues.
Founded in 2018, today we’re a small team with 4 full time members of staff and 13 expert freelance facilitators from across the UK. Our backgrounds are varied and include masters level study in gender and education as well as many years experience facilitating difficult conversations with young people.
The purpose of the board is to support Bold Voices in its growth and operational running. The Bold Voices board is intended to complement and strengthen the strategic and operational running of Bold Voices, led by CEO & Founder Natasha Eeles.
In this role you will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of a dynamic social impact organisation with a vision to eradicate young people’s experiences of gender inequality and gender-based violence.
Strategic Vision: Collaborate with other board members and leadership to establish and guide the organisation's strategic direction and long-term objectives.
Governance and Compliance: Ensure Bold Voices adheres to ethical standards, legal requirements, and regulatory compliance. Oversee governance practices, ethical guidelines, and risk management.
Financial Stewardship: Participate in financial planning and budgeting processes and support with ensuring responsible fiscal management and the efficient allocation of resources. Advise on not for profit fundraising through grants and bids as well as business development.
Stakeholder Engagement & Resource Mobilisation: Serve as a dedicated advocate and foster strong, mutually beneficial connections. Utilise your network and experience to support the organisation's mission and projects.
Safeguarding: Support the organisation with safeguarding policies, procedures and implementing a safeguarding culture throughout the organisation.
We’re particularly interested in people people with proven experience of the following areas: Safeguarding, Public Relations and Media, HR and People, Not for Profit Fundraising and Growth.
