We are looking for 3-4 new Trustees to join our Board at an exciting time in our development. After a successful period over the past 2 years we are now working on our long-term strategy for sustainable growth.

The Role

Our new Trustees will bring specific expertise to complement the current skillset of the board.

Part of the role of Community Impact Bucks is to provide support and development for rural communities through the Rural Community Council. You will have knowledge and experience of the issues that rural communities face, for example issues of housing, infrastructure such as transport and digital connectivity, the impact of climate change on our landscape and environment and, in particular, how these issues affect rural communities in Buckinghamshire. You will be able to assist Community Impact Bucks in developing and sustaining an effective Rural Communities strategy and provide guidance and support to the Trustee Board and the CEO on rural issues and services.
