Committee Member - Senior Human Resources Advisor (Voluntary position)

Background

Freeda (Free from Domestic Abuse) offers a range of support services to women and their children facing domestic abuse to help protect them by offering safehouse services and/or support in the community. Freeda also undertakes a number of activities to promote understanding and prevention of domestic abuse including awareness raising, education and training sessions and working with government, charity and business partners on relevant topics.

Working closely with all the Committee members, the HR member will provide direct support to the Committee on all Freeda HR matters. The HR member is a full Committee member and attends meetings (6 per year) and actively engages in Freeda activities. Committee member responsibilities include ensuring Freeda adheres to the Charity’s Constitution, good governance and oversight of the charity’s activities in fulfilling its mission.

This is a voluntary role, offering a rewarding opportunity to contribute meaningfully to a local charity, with a strong profile, delivering critical services to our islanders. Ideally it would suit someone who is able to dedicate some time and energy to our cause.

Purpose of the Role

Freeda has a team of 15 full time and 5 bank staff. HR is critical to providing the right working environment for our team to deliver the best results for our clients, particularly as the nature of the work is emotionally challenging and can take its toll on staff. As the Freeda Committee’s HR advisor, you will advise the Committee on all aspects designed to ensure effective HR governance and support the wellbeing of staff as well as guiding the CEO and Committee in specific situations, as and when required. We are committed to equality, diversity and inclusion, and to creating a supportive and representative environment for the communities we serve. Applicants must be based in Jersey.
