About Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust

Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust (YDMT) is a small charity doing big things for people, landscape and wildlife in the Yorkshire Dales. 

For 27 years we have delivered diverse and inspirational projects, helping to plant 1.6 million trees and securing the future of more than 850 hectares of wildflower hay meadows, creating habitats for our wildlife and combatting climate change. We are passionate about inspiring disadvantaged groups and future generations to care for this special area.

About the role

We're looking for a Governance Administrator to become part of our central support team providing administrative and secretarial services to YDMT Leadership team and our Trustees.

Our new three-year strategy will see us helping more people to take meaningful positive action through our projects, partnerships and grants programme to support this special area. Underpinning our strategy is a well governed and managed organisation to ensure we can deliver the maximum charitable benefits.

We have a dynamic board with a number of newly recruited trustees with a great mix of skills and experience. This role will be critical to supporting our 12 trustees and small senior leadership team to lead the charity, helping to organise and plan board meetings and sub-committees, taking formal minutes and working closely with the CEO and Leadership team to plan ahead.  

About you

We are looking for someone who is passionate about our work and able to build strong relationships with senior colleagues and Trustees. You should be able to demonstrate experience of working in an administrative role, working to multiple deadlines and busy workloads with competing priorities.  More important is your ability to work within our culture – which means being creative, caring, honest and enabling.

We believe the role of Governance Administrator with YDMT will be a highly rewarding one, and a great opportunity for someone to develop their skills in a fantastic organisation whilst benefiting this wonderful area and its communities.
