Volunteer

Citizens Advice York is seeking volunteer trustees. Would you like to help run an influential and important local charity?

We have a vacancy for two volunteer trustees to join the Trustee Board. The trustee board has responsibility for the overall direction, strategy, financial security and performance of the Charity. It’s stimulating, responsible work with an experienced and capable group. The Board normally meets six times a year. There are also occasional committee, strategy and other meetings, including with staff and volunteers.

We are looking for someone with a wide variety of skills and a diversity of experience. We are particularly interested in recruiting trustees with the interest and experience to help develop further our fundraising activity. We are also interested in attracting trustees with experience of bringing diversity and inclusion to the board and of bringing the voices of diverse groups to our work. Knowledge or experience of Citizens Advice is not essential.

We are keen to have a more diverse board that reflects the local community in York. We welcome applications from people with different work/life experiences and from all the different backgrounds that make up the community in York.

If you are interested in becoming a trustee, please see the Trustee Role Description, an application form and more information about Citizens Advice York on our website: https://www.citizensadviceyork.org.uk

If you’d like to find out more about this opportunity, please contact the Clerk to the Trustees via clerktothetrustees@cayork.org

The closing date for applications is 27th April 2026.

We will follow up with an informal discussion with our Chair of Trustees, and then, if agreed, a more formal interview with two current Trustees.
