Trustee / HR Lead

Trustee / HR Lead

ChaplaincyPlus is seeking to appoint a committed and passionate individual with appropriate skills and experience to join our Board of Trustees as HR Lead. 

We are keen to hear from committed Christians, with a heart and desire for living out faith in the workplace and helping and supporting others to do the same. 

We are seeking someone with a HR background, preferably in a Not-for-Profit organisation, to join our Board of Trustees as HR Lead.  

The responsibilities of the HR Lead include: 

Strategic HR Leadership: 

  • Advise the Board on long-term HR strategy and direction, ensuring it aligns with the charity’s mission and objectives.  
  • Contribute to policy setting, goal and target setting, and performance evaluation within HR.  
  • Review and recommend current and future strategic resourcing needs.  

Legal and Regulatory Compliance: 

  • Ensure the charity complies with all HR-related laws and regulations, including employment law and best practices.  

Board Support: 

  • Work with the Board to ensure proper remuneration of staff, review and reward performance, and identify development opportunities.  
  • Support with recruitment, skills development, and succession planning of board members.  

HR Management Oversight: 

  • Review current HR management arrangements and provide guidance on short and long-term HR strategy.  
  • Monitor progress on HR initiatives and address recurring staffing issues.  
  • Oversee and review HR policies and procedures.   

Trustees play an active role in governing the charity, setting vision, strategic priorities, and ensuring the charity complies with legal, charitable, and financial requirements. This is a great opportunity to make a real difference to how faith is lived out in the workplaces of the city. 

The Board meet 8-10 times a year and Trustees are expected to support and attend any additional events for the Network. Following an initial conversation, the ‘ChaplaincyPlus Trustees Handbook’ and ‘ChaplaincyPlus Memorandum and Articles of Association’ can be made available.  

ChaplaincyPlus is a Christian Charity, and all the Trustees must promote and safeguard the charitable purposes for which ChaplaincyPlus exists. These purposes are ‘the advancement of the Christian faith and the promotion of Christian principles and teaching in all aspects of human relationships.’ It is therefore essential that all Board Members are active and practising Christians and are ideally in good fellowship with their own church.
