Legal Trustee

The Company is seeking a Trustee with a legal background to join its Board. The successful candidate will be part of a dedicated team that is at the forefront of raising awareness of economic abuse and driving transformative change in response to this issue. The role is particularly focused on ensuring that the needs and experiences of survivors are central to all the company's work. The ideal Trustee will be an experienced leader with high emotional intelligence, significant legal expertise, and a strong commitment to the values and feminist ethos of the organization. While prior trustee experience is not necessary, a clear understanding of the difference between executive and non-executive roles, as well as a willingness to learn about gender-based violence and economic abuse, is essential. Key responsibilities for the Trustee include contributing to the development and implementation of the company's survivor-centered strategy, supporting research, and engaging in policy development and campaigning. The role also involves working closely with the Experts by Experience and maintaining partnerships with the women's and financial services sectors. The Trustee should be a passionate advocate for the rights of victim-survivors, with outstanding interpersonal skills and the ability to build strong relationships. A collaborative approach and the ability to be a positive ambassador for the charity are also crucial. The company particularly encourages applications from candidates who are Black, racially minoritized, and/or disabled, and who are under-represented on the Board.
