The Nest Holmfirth CIC

Director (Two Posts)

  • Trustee

Location: Remote and some in-person events and meetings at The Nest in Holmfirth

Overview: The Nest Holmfirth CIC provides essential support to parents and their under 5's. Our mission is to improve parental wellbeing and support early years development. The Nest is run by parents, for parents. Based in a bustling community building, The Nest offers a variety of classes, sessions and workshops, all to support parental mental and physical health, as well as to support the learning of babies and toddlers. 

The role of Director is an opportunity to influence the running of The Nest Holmfirth CIC and shape its future. Working with other committed Directors and staff, you will gain valuable experience of leading, sustaining and developing a small community organisation. Directors take legal responsibility for the governance of the organisation, and this is supported by staff.

Time commitment: We have around four Director meetings per year, plus ad-hoc events in the year which Directors are sometimes expected to attend. Directors are also involved in correspondence and decision-making in between meetings. Some Directors may take on a specific role (e.g. Chair, Safeguarding Lead etc) which is dependent on vacancy and suitability of skills and experience. The expected time commitment of a Director is in the region of 1 to 4 hours per week which will vary over the year.

Benefits: This is a voluntary, unremunerated position. You will gain valuable experience of being a company director, and experience of leading a non-profit organisation: a community interest company (CIC) which are all valued on a CV. You will have the opportunity to gain or develop other skills depending on specific roles you may take up on the Board. This is an opportunity to make a difference to families with young children and have an impact on the local community.
