YMCA St Paul’s Group

With around 1,200 units of accommodation, YMCA St Paul’s Group (YMCA SPG) is a leading provider of Supported Housing focused on London and its surrounding areas. Alongside our housing work, we provide a wide range of youth, health & wellbeing and community services that have an impact on thousands of people and dozens of communities every day. As Europe’s largest YMCA and based in the city where the federation began, YMCA SPG’s work has a wider significance. As such, the organisation seeks to use its influence and impact not only for its own area, but also for the benefit of the wider YMCA federation.

We are looking for up to three Trustees with expertise in the areas of Housing Asset Management (including H&S), Governance & People (including anyone with senior HR experience), or Strategic Finance, to join the board at this exciting time in the Group’s evolution. Candidates with experience of running community services (including leisure), or with experience of third sector fundraising, are also of interest. Financially robust and with a new strategic plan in place, YMCA SPG is now focused on investment: in systems and processes, in our customers and in growth. Candidates should share our commitment to helping young people and communities.

Collectively with the other Trustees, their purpose is to govern the affairs of the Charity, providing the strategic leadership that enables the Charity to maximise the fulfilment of its objectives as laid out in its Constitution.

The successful candidates will have experience of working on or closely with boards, a willingness to be available and work effectively with staff, as well as a capacity for diplomacy and tact in the exercise of their duties. We are particularly keen to hear from candidates with a personal Christian faith, although this is not a prerequisite for the positions as we welcome all faiths and none.
