• HR & Legal

• Digital & IT

• Marketing & Communications

• Or lived experience of ADHD or autism

Time commitment: 6 meetings/year + optional involvement in events or working groups Meetings mostly online, with one in-person strategy day per year and one AGM meeting per annum (virtually)

What skills do I need?

Charities like CAAS can only exist with the help of Trustees, and we are hugely grateful to everyone that volunteers to take on this role. We work hard to ensure Trustees are supported effectively to discharge their responsibilities and feel a sense of pride – and of enjoyment – in being a Trustee of CAAS.

Trustees are responsible for the overall governance and strategic direction of CAAS, ensuring that the charity delivers its mission effectively, complies with its legal obligations, and remains financially sustainable.

Trustees bring a range of skills, experience, and perspectives to support the organisation’s leadership and development. We are therefore looking for someone who has a passion for what CAAS is trying to achieve and a willingness to commit to attending our meetings and contributing to our discussions. Some Trustees also bring specific skills sets which provide operational expertise, but this is not a requirement in the role.

Essential Skills:

• Commitment to CAAS’s mission, values, and strategic priorities.

• Passion for the work CAAS does

• Capacity to attend meetings, and willingness to devote the necessary time and effort to the role.

• Ability to think strategically and contribute to effective decision-making.

• Integrity, good judgement, and a collaborative approach.
