Job Introduction

Legal Trustee

Focus Birmingham

Location: 48 Woodville Road, Harborne, B17 9AT

About Focus Birmingham

Focus Birmingham is a specialist charity that provides expert support, care, and advice to individuals living with visual impairments and additional complex needs. Through our residential, community, and day services, we empower people to lead fulfilling lives, maintain independence, and engage meaningfully with their communities.

Our person-centered approach ensures that every individual we support is treated with dignity, compassion, and respect. We are committed to building an inclusive society where barriers to independence are removed and where every person’s potential is recognised.

As we look to the future, we are focused on strengthening governance, embracing innovation, and expanding our impact across the city and region. We are now seeking a Legal Trustee to join our Board and help guide us through the legal, regulatory, and ethical challenges of leading a complex, values-driven organisation.

Why Join Our Board as Legal Trustee?

Charities operate in a highly regulated environment where strong legal oversight and governance are critical. The Legal Trustee will play a vital role in ensuring that the charity complies with its statutory obligations and maintains a culture of integrity, transparency, and lawful conduct. This is a unique opportunity to apply your legal skills in a high-impact, purpose-led context helping to protect the charity’s long-term sustainability and the rights of the people we serve.

Role Purpose

As a member of the Board of Trustees, the Legal Trustee shares collective responsibility for the governance, strategy, and sustainability of Focus Birmingham. In addition to these general duties, the Legal Trustee provides expert legal insight and guidance to the Board and executive team, ensuring the charity complies with relevant laws, maintains robust risk management, and adheres to best practice in governance and decision-making.

You will work closely with the Chair, Chief Executive Officer, and fellow Trustees, supporting key decisions across areas such as regulatory compliance, contracts, safeguarding, employment, and charitable governance.

Key Responsibilities

General Trustee Duties

Ensure the charity complies with its governing documents, charity law, company law, and all relevant legislation or regulations.
Contribute to the development and monitoring of Focus Birmingham’s strategic direction and operational plans.
Act in the best interests, avoiding conflicts of interest and maintaining confidentiality.
Uphold and champion the charity’s values, mission, and policies including those related to safeguarding, equality, and inclusion.
Attend and participate actively in Board meetings (typically held quarterly), relevant sub-committees, and strategic events.
Maintain effective oversight of financial performance, risk, and governance quality.
Serve as a critical friend to the executive team, providing support, challenge, and encouragement.

Legal Trustee-Specific Responsibilities

Act as the Board’s primary source of legal expertise, offering high-level advice on legal, regulatory, and contractual matters.
Advise the Board on its responsibilities under charity, company, employment, data protection, and safeguarding law, among others.
Support the scrutiny of key contracts, leases, service agreements, and policies to ensure legal compliance and mitigate risks.
Guide the Board in managing disputes, liabilities, or potential legal actions, working with external counsel when needed.
Assist with drafting and reviewing governance policies, board terms of reference, delegated authorities, and codes of conduct.
Ensure the charity is prepared for regulatory inspections (e.g., Charity Commission, CQC) and supports compliance reporting.
Monitor emerging legal developments that may impact the charity and advise accordingly.
