Trustee with Legal Experience

The Organisation

Restorative Justice Services is a company limited by guarantee (CLG) and is a registered charity based in Dublin that works restoratively with people affected by crime. 

We are one of the Community Based Organisations which receive funding from the Irish Probation Service to deliver restorative justice programmes and interventions in Dublin, Meath, Wicklow, and Kildare. Our interventions focus on meeting the needs of victims of crime whilst challenging the behaviour of those who offend.

We work collaboratively with statutory and non-statutory organisations, such as an Garda Siochana, community groups and victims’ organisations to achieve our goals.

Duties of a Restorative Justice Trustee:

• Ensuring compliance with various statutory requirements for example the Charity Regulator's Governance Code.
• Attending or contributing to the General Board of Trustees and sub-committee as relevant
• Providing general expertise on all matters relating to corporate governance and any legal relevance to the activities of Restorative Justice Services.
• Ensuring Restorative Justice Services is complying with its charitable purpose for the public benefit.
• Acting in the best interest of the charity and with a duty of care.
