Trustee - Network experience
We’re in a strong, stable position – strategically and financially – and we’re investing in bold new ideas to support even more unpaid carers and local carer organisations across the UK. With a fresh approach, renewed energy and a clear focus, we’re building something different.
Carers Trust is a £13 million charity, leading a £150 million network of local carer organisations. Last year we collectively reached over 1.1 million unpaid carers through our diverse range of local services. As the UK-body, Carers Trust led influencing, campaigning and income generation on behalf of its network.
As we embark on our strategy refresh, our ambition is to create even more impact, driving change for both carers and local carer organisations, all of whom are independent charities in their own right.
To help this, we’re now looking for a Trustee with a deep understanding of what it is to operate within a network setting.
Join the team
Your background might be within a federated charity operating nationally or globally; you might work within a not-for-profit which delivers its impact through a network model or membership body; or you might operate in a corporate setting, perhaps operating franchises to reach your customers.
You will instinctively understand what it is to lead a like-minded movement of organisations, who together are far more than the sum of their parts.
You will be ready to get stuck into understanding what makes our local services tick and how best we can help them to have the voice, capacity and impact to change the world for unpaid carers.
More generally, we’re looking for a strategic, forward-thinking leader, someone who can challenge and champion our direction and bring fresh ideas. Your insight could shape where we go next and help steer how we develop our network relationships and local delivery.
If you love collaborating with ambitious teams, challenging the status quo and finding smart, inventive ways to make an impact – this could be the perfect role for you.
