The independent charity Crimestoppers helps make communities safer places to live and bring criminals to justice by giving people the chance to provide information about crime anonymously. Crimestoppers is highly effective – around 23 people are arrested and charged every day as a result of information given to the charity.

We are currently seeking: Volunteer Chair – Cambridgeshire Committee

In this exciting role you will be responsible for leading a newly formed Crimestoppers committee of volunteer members - representing and fulfilling the charity’s work and objectives across Cambridgeshire. Your role will include motivating, encouraging and supporting all volunteer members to deliver effective results in line with their experience, available commitment and overall aspirations. You will also be responsible for the implementation and tackling of an annual business plan, noting suitable success criteria and leading on development.

This role would require a three year commitment, including quarterly committee meetings, but the time dedicated to the role will be balanced with the successful individual’s other demands.
