Co-opted Trustee

The St. Mary Magdalene & Holy Jesus Trust is an Almshouse Charity and provides low cost, community housing for local people in housing need. The Trust has a long history stretching back several hundred years.

It is an exciting time for the Trust, with around £11m of investment being made in its residential assets and sites over the next 5 years. The Trust is also developing a longer-term business plan to help ensure that it continues to deliver maximum benefit from its assets and resources.

We require a Co-opted Director to sit on the Board of the Trust’s corporate trustee, which is the St Mary Magdalene & Holy Jesus Trustee Limited. The new Director will join an established Board consisting of a Chair, 2 other Co-opted Directors, 3 Directors nominated by the Freemen of Newcastle upon Tyne, 3 Directors nominated by Newcastle City Council and 1 Director nominated by the Bishop of Newcastle.

We are particularly, although not exclusively, looking for candidates who have experience in either charity law, information technology, property management or quality assurance.

Further information about the role is provided in the attachment. Alternatively contact Jon Mitford, Chief Executive, St Mary Magdalene & Holy Jesus Trust, Claremont Road, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE2 4NN.
