LionHeart is recruiting for new trustees!
LionHeart is the independent charity for chartered surveyors and their families, offering a range of financial, emotional and practical support through any of life's challenges.
Established in 1899, last year we marked our 125th anniversary year and are now looking to add to our Board of Trustees as we focus on our future and how we support the surveyors of today and tomorrow.
Could you help us to make a difference?
What we’re looking for:
We would particularly welcome applications from people with strategic audit and risk management background to broaden and complement the existing skills base within our Board and specific knowledge of charity law and governance would be a bonus.
We strive for diversity in our Board and currently have surveyors who specialise in valuation, project management, planning and development, real estate, investment and land economy, and from a range of backgrounds and with different lived experience.
But trustees do not need to be surveyors at all - in fact, we’d love to hear from partners or family members of surveyors, or those from other backgrounds who are keen to contribute to a charity board.
Our trustees are appointed on a three-year term, with the option to renew.
