***THIS JOB VACANCY HAS NOW CLOSED***
The Royal Naval Benevolent Trust (RNBT) is a well-established naval charity that has been delivering support to serving and veteran ratings of the Royal Navy and their families, quietly and efficiently since 1922. It is a modern charity with an annual turnover of £10m, capital assets of £57m and up to 250 staff.
The RNBT efficiently and effectively help Royal Navy and Royal Marines personnel and their families in times of need, whether through the provision of wide-ranging financial assistance or the superb care offered to older members of the Royal Naval family at Pembroke House in Gillingham, Kent and the Trust’s Centenary Year Project – Admiral Jellicoe House in Southsea, Hampshire which opened in June 2022.
The governance of the Trust is delivered through the 16-strong Central Committee (CC) – the Board of Trustees whose role is to provide strategic direction to the charity, exercise high level oversight of its operations and provide appropriate support to the executive. One of the trustee positions carries the historical title of Admiralty Governor, which dates back to an earlier time when the Royal Charter allowed for the Admiralty Board to appoint a retired senior officer onto the Central Committee. This process no longer happens, but the trustees decided to retain the title, recognising it as part of the RNBT’s history and heritage. The position requires that the volunteer be a retired senior officer of the Naval Service i.e. a Captain Royal Navy or Colonel Royal Marines or above.
RNBT is committed to creating an inclusive environment which encourages diversity of thought in its decision-making processes. To achieve this, applications are encouraged from all eligible people, and representation from minority groups is very welcome. In particular, female applicants and those with service in the Royal Marines or Submarine Service would be very welcome.
If you are interested and would like an application pack, please contact Michele Stanley on 02394 216292 or email Michele at michelestanley@rnbt.org.uk.
The closing date for applications is 31 March 2023.
