Harris Hill is delighted to be supporting CL:AIRE to recruit two Trustees to its Board.

 

CL:AIRE is an independent not-for-profit organisation established in 1999 to support the sustainable reuse of land. Through technical leadership, independence and collaboration, CL:AIRE works to raise standards, build confidence and enable proportionate, practical approaches to complex land reuse challenges.

 

CL:AIRE is seeking to appoint two Trustees to strengthen the Board’s overall capability. We are particularly interested in individuals with strong commercial judgement and senior level experience of finance, marketing or business development, who can contribute at a strategic level rather than as functional specialists.

 

The Role

Trustees are responsible for the overall governance, strategic direction and long-term sustainability of the charity. Trustees are expected to provide independent oversight and constructive challenge, acting at all times in the best interests of CL:AIRE and its charitable objectives.

 

The role is non-executive. Trustees are not involved in day-to-day management.

 

Independence and Conflicts of Interest

CL:AIRE places a strong emphasis on independence and integrity. Trustees must be willing to declare and manage any actual or potential conflicts of interest. The role is not intended to provide commercial advantage, influence, or access to markets, networks or decision-makers. Individuals seeking to promote personal, commercial or organisational interests would not be suited to the role.

 

Term and Time Commitment

Trustees are appointed for an initial term of three years, with the option of re-appointment for further terms, subject to ongoing eligibility.

 

The Board meets quarterly, primarily in person, with some meetings held online. The expected time commitment is approximately 10 days per year.

 

Remuneration

Trustee roles are voluntary and unremunerated. Reasonable expenses are reimbursed.

 

How to Apply

The closing date for applications is 9:00am on Monday 23 March 2026.
