New Trustees sought

New Trustees sought

Following recent expansion Red Balloon Learner Centre Group is looking for additional Trustees.  We seek local people to join professional teams in a voluntary capacity focusing on the strategic direction and governance of our Centres in Greater Manchester, Merseyside, South Yorkshire and Warwick.

Expressions of interest are invited from individuals with expertise in strategic planning, finance, fundraising, governance, legal issues, marketing, PR & communications or personnel.  Anyone with a professional educational background would also be welcome.

Each Red Balloon Learner Centre has a turnover of circa £300,000 and provides one-to-one small group teaching and counselling for children who have been so severely bullied they are out of school and missing an education.

95% of the children who stay at Red Balloon longer than six weeks are successfully recovered and return to mainstream school, go on to sixth form college or enter employment.

Appointments are for a minimum term of two years.  Most Board meetings are held monthly and some Trustees also sit on sub-committees.  Training is provided for new Trustees.  The position is voluntary although expenses can be paid.

If you feel you possess the skills to support Red Balloon as it seeks to transform the lives of traumatised children, please contact Red Balloon Learner Centre Group via e-mail at admin@group.rblc.org.uksending a CV and covering letter, or speak to Geraldine Norris, Director of Operations, on 07780 991776.
