How you''ll help us live our purpose

We''ve been helping our members save for their future and buy a home of their own since 1875. By joining us, you''ll play a big role in helping us to put home ownership within reach of more people, generation after generation.

It''s a purpose that drives everything we do and one we''re proud of. And you can play your part too by joining us as a voluntary Trustee to our LBS Foundation.

How you''ll make a difference

The Foundation awards circa 350,000 a year in large and small grants using funds donated by Leeds Building Society and its members through the Your Interest in Theirs scheme. The board of independent Trustees meets quarterly to make funding decisions, set the strategy and approach to grant giving, ensure the Foundation adheres to charity governance and maintains best practice in grant making.

If you have a passion for addressing inequalities, an understanding of the social issues that charities and communities face, the ability to make well-informed judgements, with a commitment to teamworking and your own professional development, we''d love to hear from you.

What will you bring to the role?

• An understanding of the social issues which charities and communities face.
• An interest in strategic approaches to community giving.
• Understanding of social value, social return on investment and the ability to review project deliverables and impact whilst measuring risk.
• The ability to follow a robust review process, distil information and make clear, balanced, and well-informed judgements.
• Strong analytical skills and ability to interpret basic numerical data (when reviewing applicant charity accounts and the Foundation''s annual report and accounts).
• The ability to conceptualise new ways of working and be unafraid to question the status quo.
• Able to work as part of a team with Trustees from within and outside of the Society.
• Professional or lived experience of the issues the Foundation aims to address.
• Skills in charity law and social impact measurement would complement the experience of the existing Board.
