We are looking to recruit 3 new non executive directors to Stomping Grounds CIC

 

Stomping Grounds Forest School is a small but growing Community Interest Company based in the North East of England with ambitious plans for future expansion of its services.

To help us grow we need experienced members of the public to join our Board and take the governance to the next level. We are particularly keen to recruit members of the local communities within which we operate: South Northumberland, West Gateshead and Newcastle. We are looking for people with, but not limited to, the following experience. If you think you have something to offer that isn’t listed here we would still look forward to hearing from you:

  • Experience of working in the charitable sector at board or SMT level 
  • Expertise in Finance, Fundraising, HR, Marketing or PR 
  • Experience of working in the legal profession 
  • Experience of working with disadvantaged communities

Board meetings take place quarterly on a Thursday 7-9. In addition to quarterly meetings, we would expect members to volunteer ½ day per quarter of time and expertise to support the Executive Director to continue to grow and monitor the social impact and the trading income of the Company.
