HR Coffee Time 113 | The trustee advantage: enhance your HR leadership and make a difference, with Roisin Williams
Have you set your sights on a senior HR role but feel like you’re missing out on strategic experience in your current job? Or perhaps you’re not confident enough to operate at board level? Bridging this gap could be more fulfilling than you think. Becoming a trustee for a charity is a smart career move that not only sharpens your strategic skills and gives you board-level exposure, it also offers the rewarding opportunity to do meaningful work by supporting a charity. It’s a unique blend of professional growth and contributing to the greater good.
In this episode of HR Coffee Time, host Fay Wallis chats with the insightful Roisin Williams from Job Seeker Coaching. With her rich background as an HR professional, career coach, and seasoned trustee, Roisin unpacks the ins and outs of trusteeship. She’s here to share:
- A clear breakdown of what it means to be a trustee
- The real deal on the responsibilities and expectations that come with the title
- The unexpected upsides of stepping into a trustee role
- Answers to those niggling doubts and questions you might have
- Tips on how to kick-start your journey as a trustee
This isn’t just another podcast episode; it’s your invitation to step up, expand your HR horizon, and contribute to a cause that matters. So, why not give it a listen and see where trusteeship could take you?
