The role

Citizens Advice Bromley is looking for a Trustee with a background in charity fundraising at a strategic or senior level.

The trustees have a duty to make decisions ‘jointly’ or ‘collectively’.

Who we are

Citizens Advice Bromley is a well-established, independent local charity providing information and advice to anyone who lives, works or studies in Bromley borough. Our service is free, confidential and impartial. We help people resolve their problems and change their lives for the better.

You will have experience of diverse income generation practices and an ability to help Citizens Advice Bromley further develop its fundraising capabilities.

Board meetings are held six times a year. Between Board meeting you may be requested to participate in virtual meetings and e mail correspondence.
