TRUSTEE VACANCY  

​

Does Kool Kids play an important role in your family?

 

Do you have an interest in ensuring the continued success of the setting?

 

An opportunity has arisen for any parent/relative/carer or otherwise invested individual to join our voluntary board of trustees in the overseeing of all aspects of the setting, from staffing, marketing and building development to fundraising, finances, activities and resources. 

 

The survival of the Setting is dependent on its Board of Trustees, and as such we are very interested to hear from anyone with connections to the club and genuine concern for its ongoing service. 

 

The role of the Trustee is to support the manager through discussion and crucial decision making in relation to the setting.  We meet once a month in a friendly and creative group, with one shared objective: the best outcome for our setting.

 

As well as the privilege of gaining valuable insight into the organisation of the setting, trustees get the opportunity to apply their own qualities and life skills to the creative development and practical problem solving required in its management.
