Current Trustee vacancies (voluntary)
Deadline: Friday 4 September 2026
We are currently looking for two additional Trustees (voluntary, part time) with the skills and experience to enable us to thrive as an organisation and to help us to deliver projects which meet our strategic aims, including greater recognition for heritage craftspeople and better access to craft education and training.
Please note that prior Trustee experience is not compulsory, with support to be made available for less experienced candidates.
We are particularly looking for Trustees skilled or experienced in any of the following areas and with an enthusiasm to bring these skills to bear for the benefit of the organisation:
- Lived experience of heritage crafts
- Cultural / educational sector policy
- Advocacy / campaigning
- Public relations / media liaison
- Charity law / commercial law
- Fundraising (bid writing and/or philanthropy)
- Human resources
- Research (academic or commercial)
However, we will also consider applications from exceptional individuals with other skills and enthusiasms, especially those with a particular insight into an under-represented community within the UK.
