Red Balloon is a dynamic education charity with several Learner Centres throughout the UK that support young people who self-exclude from school and are missing education because of bullying or other trauma. They provide both an academic and therapeutic programme to enable their students to get back on track and reconnect with society. In addition to offering centre based programmes they also offer a distance learning provision (Red Balloon of the Air) which provides students with a bespoke integrated programme of academic education and wellbeing provision, delivered both online and face-to-face.

Red Balloon Learner Centre Reading is now looking to strengthen its Board and we are seeking a Property - Health and Safety Trustee in order to assist the centre with all property related matters. An experienced Property / Health & Safety professional with extensive knowledge of risk assessments, first aid, fire safety, and building management.

Trustees have a duty to ensure that the charity is well run, solvent, legally compliant, and working towards the charitable purpose for which it was established, and Trustee roles are an important and a highly rewarding way to support an organisation. Please note that Trustee roles are unremunerated voluntary positions, although reasonable travel expenses will be paid.

Red Balloon is committed to equality of opportunity, supports, and encourages under-represented groups, and values diversity. We seek people from a wide range of backgrounds, who will bring a fresh perspective to the Board, and having reviewed existing Trustee's diversity, skills, and experience, Red Balloon are keen for the Board to reflect the diversity of the communities that they work with and therefore welcome applications from all sections of the community.

Please contact Heidi Earp, Director of Langton Not 4 Profit our retained consultants for further information on the role
