(Vacancy) Trustee – Town and Country Planning Association 

Please note that this is a voluntary position (no salary) but reasonable travel expenses will be paid 

Do you believe that there is an urgent need for places to be resilient to environmental, economic and social challenges? 

Are you interested in a role that will help secure homes, places and communities where everyone can thrive? 

The Town and Country Planning Association (TCPA) is looking to appoint up to two new Trustees and if you answered a resounding ‘yes’ to the questions above then these could be the roles for you! 

The built and natural environment have profound impacts on people’s health, wellbeing and life chances and we also face climate, nature, housing and health crises. The work of the TCPA is, therefore, more important than ever. 

About you

To support our important work, we are looking to broaden the skills and range of perspectives on our Board of Trustees. You do not need to be an expert in town planning or have a background working in the built environment sector.

We are particularly interested in candidates who believe in the importance of the work we do and have experience in one or more of the following areas:  

  • Charity fundraising and new business development 
  • Charity governance 
  • Operational elements of running a small charity 
  • Campaigning and communications 

Inclusion is a core value of our organisation and we are passionate about promoting diversity and representation in our Association. We positively encourage applications regardless of age, disability, ethnicity, gender identification, marital status, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, or sexual orientation.  

To find out more about the TCPA and how to express your interest in these roles please see the recruitment pack below. 

Expressions of interest should be received by midday on Friday 3 October.
