Motiv8 is an exciting, dynamic organisation that passionately engages with young people and families enabling them to access improved life chances. We are established in local communities across Hampshire delivering high quality community, education and employment services which lead to transformed lives and positive outcomes.

Are you someone who has a passion to improve the lives of young people and families?

We are currently looking for new Trustees to join our Board of Trustees.

Background

We are a charity that has provided support to young people and families to improve their life
chances, in the South East, for over 25 years. Our development and direction has been underpinned
by the huge commitment of our staff and volunteers, including Trustees.

We are looking to expand our Board of Trustees and it is an exciting time to join us. We are currently
shaping out new organisational strategy to enhance the impact to the young people and families
that we support. We are also developing key areas of safeguarding, reward and recognition.

Our operating environment is challenging, with our services facing financial pressures and ongoing
governmental changes. We therefore want to increase our influence and ability to support young
people and families.

Our Trustees lead the development of our charity, working alongside our Chief Executive, Kirsty
Robertson. You will need to have compassion, empathy and sensitivity to the experiences of the
young people that we support as well as a willingness and openness to understand the complexity
of the circumstances of our clients.

To underpin our current Trustee Board, we are looking for individuals with a background in HR,
Fundraising, Youth work, Finance, Safeguarding or Community Development but we welcome
applications from all interested parties.

We believe we will deliver long lasting impact when our Board and staff teams reflect the
community of young people and families that we service and improving Board diversity is crucial to
us in terms of our company values. We are actively encouraging applications from people who are
from a minoritized ethnicity, disabled, LGBTQ+, Lived Experience and/or have varying levels of
educational attainment. We particularly welcome applications from younger people aged 18 to 30
and are interested in hearing from candidates with a background or extensive knowledge of:

Equality, Diversity and Inclusion
Safeguarding
Lived experience
Fundraising

This is a truly unique charity, with people who care deeply about what they do. If you believe you
have the experience and qualities we are looking for, then we would love to hear from you.
