We are looking to expand representation on the Board of Trustees and have vacancies for new Trustee roles. These new Trustees will join our existing team.
This is a great opportunity to bring your knowledge and expertise to Peak District Mosaic’s Board of Trustees, to contribute to the direction of our organisation. You will help to strengthen the team and be proactive in the governance and development of the charity, to make a real, tangible and lasting difference to participants who become involved in Peak District Mosaic’s activities/events.
You don’t have to have been a Trustee before. We are looking for people who are passionate about the outdoor environment and enjoy working with people. Life experience, volunteering, community involvement and personal passion are valued as much as work-based knowledge and skills.
We welcome applications from people who have a lived experience – with an understanding of working with or have worked with Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic communities and the importance this brings to building a sustainable organisation that is truly beneficial for the needs of the community.
We are undergoing an exciting period of development with our new project, Championing National Parks for Everyone, funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund. This project aims to expand our work and is being developed in partnership with the Yorkshire Dales, North York Moors and Peak District National Parks. We are therefore interested in receiving applications from people living in these National Parks or areas near to them, including Greater Manchester, Bradford, Leeds, Middlesbrough and South Yorkshire.
We generally expect Trustees to serve for a minimum term of three years. You will be required to attend bi-monthly scheduled meetings of the Board of Trustees, Committee meetings and some ad hoc meetings. Our bi-monthly Trustee meetings are held either in person in the Peak District on a Saturday daytime, or held on a weekday in the evenings online (via GoogleMeet)
We are now advertising for three roles with specific skills and responsibilities to build our team. Please see the attached role descriptions for the three specific trustee roles;
-
- Member of Activities and Communications committee – We are looking for people with a passion for delivering opportunities for people to visit the Peak District to join our Activities and Communications Committee who are responsible for overseeing, managing and promoting the schedule of group activities in the Peak District National Park and surrounding areas. You can read the Role Description here.
-
- Secretary – someone with strong administrative skills who can work with the Chairperson to organise and minute board meetings, and support the overall administration of the charity. You can read the Role Description here.

- Treasurer – our current Treasurer is stepping down in 2026, and our new Treasurer will work with the charity’s existing Finance and Business Planning committee to maintain an overview of Peak District Mosaic’s financial affairs. You can read the Role Description here.
