Inside Travel Foundation Trustee

The role:

We’re setting up the Inside Travel Foundation to take our Giving Back work further – and we’re looking for a small group of voluntary trustees to help shape it from the start.

As a trustee, you’ll bring perspective, ask the right questions, and help ensure funding is used thoughtfully and effectively.

The Foundation will be supported by the Inside Travel Group team, so trustees can focus on what matters most: oversight, sound judgement, and staying true to our purpose.

You don’t need prior trustee experience – we’re keen to hear from anyone interested in getting involved and bringing a thoughtful, independent perspective.

If you’re someone who likes getting into the detail when needed but stepping back to see the bigger picture - and you’re willing to challenge constructively – you’ll add real value in this role.

Key responsibilities:

• Helping make sure the Foundation is set up and run properly — legally, responsibly, and in line with its purpose

• Taking part in decisions on where funding goes, and sense-checking recommendations

• Reading board papers and asking questions where things aren’t clear or need further challenge

• Bringing your own experience and perspective into discussions

• Playing your part in a small board — preparing properly, contributing openly, and backing collective decisions

What we are looking for from you:

We’re less interested in perfect CVs, more in how you approach decisions and discussion.

• You can take in information and use it to form a view

• You’re comfortable speaking up — and listening when others do

• You’re committed to the Foundation’s purpose and acting in its long-term interests

• You’re willing to challenge, but do it in a constructive way

• You’ll show up prepared and take the role seriously

An understanding of charity governance is helpful, but not essential — you’ll be able to learn as you go.

You don’t need to meet every requirement. If you’re motivated, passionate, and think you’d be a great fit, we would love to hear from you. We're committed to making our recruitment process inclusive, accessible, and welcoming for everyone. If you require any adjustments or accommodations to support you during the recruitment process, please let us know.

What the role involves:

This is a voluntary role with reasonable expenses covered.

• UK-based (required for set-up and governance requirements)

• Remote / hybrid, with occasional in-person meetings

• Around 1 x 2-hour meeting per month + 2–4 hours preparation

• 3-year term (renewable)

About the Inside Travel Foundation:

The Inside Travel Foundation is being established to build on Inside Travel Group’s long-standing commitment to giving back. We believe travel can change how people feel, connect and cope, yet many of the families who could benefit most from a break are the least able to access one. Through our Giving Back Fund, we commit 5% of adjusted profit after tax each year to support organisations in our branch countries and destinations that help families get a break and strengthen the communities that host our customers.

Since making this commitment, Inside Travel Group has donated over £250,000 to charities and causes, and this will be the Foundation’s main source of income at launch. The fund has supported charity partners in the UK, US, Australia and Japan providing short breaks for families who need them most, non-profit hospitality training schools in Cambodia, and funding relief efforts for disasters and emergencies that occur in our branch countries and destinations.

We celebrate the different cultures, perspectives, lifestyles, and experiences that shape our team, and we welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and communities.

How to apply:

We will be reviewing and interviewing candidates on a rolling basis, so we encourage you to submit your application as soon as possible. Due to the high volume of applications, we may close the application process before the stated deadline if we receive enough qualified candidates. Please note that you’ll need to be UK-based for governance and set-up purposes and able to act as a trustee of a UK charity.

Closing Date: 26th June 2026
