Disabled Trustee (Board-level role)

The Company is seeking Disabled Trustees to join its Board and play a pivotal role in shaping the future of the organization. The successful candidates will be expected to provide strategic oversight, support the executive team, and ensure the charity's governance, risk management, and financial sustainability. This is a unique opportunity to use your lived experience, networks, and influence to champion independent living and disability rights, and to ensure that the voices and experiences of disabled people remain at the heart of decision-making. The Company is particularly interested in individuals with strong networks, influence, and credibility within their communities or professional spheres, as well as the ability to think strategically and contribute at a Board level. Key responsibilities for the Disabled Trustees include acting as ambassadors for the organization, contributing to Board sub-committees, and participating in key events to support the charity's work. The ideal candidates will have a strong personal commitment to disability rights, inclusion, and independent living, and the confidence to engage with stakeholders and advocate for the organization's mission. Professional expertise in areas such as HR, people and organizational development, campaigning, public affairs, or governance is welcomed, but not essential. The role requires a time commitment of approximately 1-2 days per month, including attending Board meetings, serving on a sub-committee, and engaging in various activities to support the charity's mission.
