Job Requirements/Description

We are working in partnership with the Royal Maritime Hotel (RMH) to secure new Trustees. RMH is operated by a charitable trust, the Portsmouth Royal Maritime Club, which owns the freehold of the whole building and runs the Hotel through a limited company as a commercial business, to generate funds for its charitable work. The Club's beneficiaries are serving and former seafarers, including members of the Royal Navy, Royal Marines and Merchant Fleet. However, in addition, membership of the Club is open to all serving and retired members of all the Armed Forces and their families, as well as Police, Fire and Ambulance service members, volunteers from the RNLI and members of the local community. The Club currently has over 8,000 members of whom 7,500 are serving or retired seafarers, soldiers or airmen.

The RMH is now seeking experienced and committed individuals to join its Board of Trustees to oversee strategic development and direction, making a major contribution to the future success of the organisation. The charity has identified key areas that would benefit from specific expertise and experience and candidates with these skill sets are encouraged to apply:

  • A commitment to the Royal Maritime Hotel and its purpose and values, and a willingness to lead according to the organisation's traditions and values

  • Tact and diplomacy, with good communication and interpersonal skills
  • Knowledge of accountancy and/or bookkeeping and audit (finance)
