At Carers First, we have been working alongside unpaid carers for over 30 years, helping them find balance and live life to the fullest. With an estimated 5.7 million unpaid carers in the UK, the need for our work has never been greater. We are looking for three new Trustees to join our Board and play a vital role in shaping our future. We are particularly looking for people with expertise in:
- Fundraising and income generation
- Legal
- Digital strategy (including AI and technology to enhance user experience)
As a Trustee, you will join a committed and diverse Board, ensuring our strategy and resources make the greatest possible difference to the lives of carers. You’ll bring your skills, experience and values to support our work in providing support for carers, with carers, so they can lead fulfilling lives.
Time commitment
The Board meets quarterly, with an additional annual Development and Strategic Planning Day. Our two committees, Finance & Risk and People & Governance, also meet quarterly. Most meetings are online. One Board meeting and one Development Day are held in London.
Trustees should expect to commit the equivalent of circa one day a month for meetings, preparation, Board development, engagement with staff and carers, recruitment activities, professional development, and occasional public events.
If you are interested in becoming part of our team and have the skills and experience, we are looking for and are passionate about making a real difference then please read the Candidate Pack for Trustees.
