Trustee – Estates Surveyor

Are you an experienced estates or property professional looking to give back to your community? Do you want to use your skills to support a youth charity with its property strategy and facilities?

We’re seeking a trustee with expertise in estates management, surveying, or property to join our board and help guide our approach to buildings, leases, maintenance, and future planning.

About Us

We are a small youth charity working to empower young people through community programmes, events, and support. As we grow, we want to ensure our spaces are safe, sustainable, and fit for purpose — and that we make wise decisions about property and facilities.

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone with professional experience in:

• Estates surveying
• Property management
• Facilities or asset management
• Lease negotiation or capital projects

You don’t need prior trustee experience — just a willingness to contribute your expertise and help us make informed decisions.

Key Areas You Might Support

• Advising on leases, property use, and compliance
• Supporting decisions around maintenance, refurbishment, or relocation
• Helping us plan for future property needs
• Ensuring our spaces are safe, accessible, and youth-friendly

Trustee Responsibilities

As a trustee, you’ll:

• Attend board meetings (usually quarterly, with some additional involvement as needed).
• Contribute to strategic decisions and oversight.
• Act as a critical friend to the leadership team.
• Help ensure the charity meets its legal and ethical obligations.

What You’ll Gain

• A chance to make a real difference in young people’s lives
• Experience in charity governance and leadership
• Opportunities for personal and professional development
• Connection with a passionate and supportive team

We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, especially those with lived experience of the issues we work on.
