Supporting Voluntary and Community Action
BRR is looking for dedicated and enthusiastic people to join our Board of Trustees.
We are especially welcoming applications from people who can bring any of the following skills/experience to the Board of Trustees:
If you don’t have these specific skills but would like to talk about how your skills are transferable, please still get in touch with us to discuss further.
You will gain valuable experience in the charity sector and have an opportunity to make a difference to the lives of refugees and asylum seekers in Bristol. You will be providing strategic support to a committed group of staff and volunteers and be part of a leading organisation making positive change. Applicants should be committed to trying to improve the situation for refugees, asylum seekers and migrants. It would also be useful if you had experience of working for a charity or being on a charity Board of Trustees.
We believe BRR is a great place to be a volunteer trustee. You can find out more about what it’s like to be a BRR Trustee by watching this video made by one of our longstanding Trustees (and previous Chair).
More information about being a Trustee at BRR, including a full role description is available in the Information Pack from our website.
Bristol Refugee Rights (BRR) is committed to safeguarding all the children, young people and vulnerable adults that we come into contact with. Trustees are required to undergo a DBS check. You can read more about our approach to safeguarding on our website.
