Trustees & Associate Trustees

We are seeking to appoint new Trustees who can bring a broad range of skills, experience, and perspectives to our Board. We welcome applications from individuals with diverse professional backgrounds and lived experiences, and are particularly keen to hear from candidates with backgrounds in: volunteer leadership; the VCSE and/or healthcare sectors; NHS clinical practice; and public affairs.

We are interested in candidates who can support the strategic leadership and governance of Helpforce, and who are committed to our mission and values. Key contributions could include:

• Providing strategic insight and constructive challenge to support the charity's growth and impact


• Using knowledge, skills and networks to help us achieve our mission


• Championing diversity, inclusion and accessible approaches


• Acting as ambassadors, promoting the charity's work and values to a wide audience


• Supporting the development of our organisation, staff and volunteers

Above all, we seek individuals with a passion for volunteering and community impact.

For the first time, we are introducing an Associate Trustee (AT) role. ATs are non-voting roles, focussed on bringing specific expertise to Board discussions without the same legal liabilities as Trustees.

We would welcome applications from individuals passionate about the charity's mission, and those who have direct experience of healthcare volunteering. Prior experience at Board level is welcome but not required.

ATs will be mentored by Trustees, with the role acting as a pipeline for future trusteeship.
