Our Trustees play an important role in making sure the charity is run in the interests of those we support. They strategically oversee the management and administration of the organisation.
Trustees also ensure the charity has a clear strategy and that our work and goals are in line with our vision. Just as importantly, they support and challenge the executive team to enable the charity to grow and thrive, and through this, achieve our mission.
Benefits
Recovery Partners is more than a service — it is part of a movement for change in mental health and recovery services, led by people who’ve been there.
As a trustee, you will help us:
· Champion the voice of lived/living experience
· Strengthen our governance and strategic planning
· Ensure the long-term sustainability and impact of our work
· Uphold our values of compassion, inclusion, and empowerment
Skills
We are looking for people willing to bring energy, enthusiasm and commitment to the role, and who will broaden the diversity of thinking on our Board.
We are particularly interested in hearing from people with the following experience:
· HR
· Fundraising
· Digital
· Legal
· Voluntary sector
Whether you have previous trustee experience or this would be your first governance role, your passion for mental health, commitment to equality, inclusion, and willingness to contribute your time and expertise are what matter most. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds — and especially encourage people with lived experience of mental health issues and recovery or other disability to apply.
