The Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists (RCSLT) is seeking an experienced commercial leader to join its Board as a Lay Trustee and Commercial Lead, helping the organisation develop sustainable and ethical approaches to income generation, commercial partnerships and the effective use of its assets.

Who we are

The RCSLT is the professional body for speech and language therapists across the UK. The RCSLT has over 24,000 members and employs around 65 staff, predominantly based in its London office, with additional offices in Belfast, Edinburgh and Cardiff. Our mission is to improve the lives of people with communication and swallowing needs by facilitating and promoting research, producing guidance, holding events and influencing government. We aim to promote better education and training for speech and language therapists and provide information to our members and the public about speech and language therapy.

The role

We are seeking a senior commercial leader to bring expertise, insight and constructive challenge to the RCSLT’s Board. The Commercial Lead will help the organisation think strategically and confidently about income generation and diversification, including opportunities for sponsorship, corporate partnerships, new services, joint initiatives and other forms of collaboration.

Working with the Board and Executive Team, you will provide advice on developing sustainable income streams, strengthening the RCSLT’s market position and building mutually beneficial relationships with external partners. You will bring insight into what motivates prospective corporate partners, including brand alignment, social value and reputational benefit, and help ensure that commercial opportunities remain consistent with the RCSLT’s charitable purpose, values and public benefit obligations.

You will also contribute strategic advice on pricing, value propositions and the effective use of organisational assets, including potential opportunities relating to the RCSLT’s property. Where appropriate, you may draw upon your professional networks to help identify and develop new partnerships and collaborations across the private, public and charitable sectors.

Alongside this specialist contribution, you will participate in the wider work of the Board, helping to provide strategic direction, oversee financial sustainability, monitor organisational performance and ensure effective governance and risk management. This is a strategic and advisory, non-voting role rather than an operational position. The expected time commitment is approximately one day per month, including attendance at four Board meetings each year and participation in relevant committee work.

What we are looking for

We are looking for a strategic and commercially minded individual with significant senior-level experience in commercial development, business development, income generation or a related field. You will have a strong understanding of financial sustainability and market dynamics, together with a proven ability to identify, assess and develop commercial opportunities.

Experience of generating or diversifying income within the charitable or not-for-profit sector would be particularly welcome, as would experience of developing sponsorship arrangements, corporate partnerships or other collaborations that create both financial and social value. An understanding of property strategy, asset management or estates optimisation would also be beneficial.

The successful candidate will be able to operate effectively at Board level, offering independent advice and constructive challenge while balancing commercial opportunity with risk, ethics and organisational purpose. You will share the RCSLT’s commitment to improving the lives of people with communication and swallowing needs and understand the importance of ensuring that commercial activity supports the organisation’s mission, values and reputation.

To apply, please complete our online application form via the apply button. 

Closing date: 8 September 2026.

Your expert understanding of charity and/or company accounts and financial management will ensure that trustees exercise their financial responsibilities. You will act as lead trustee on overseeing the annual audit, and advise on financial procedures, regular financial reporting and forecasting.

This will involve chairing the Trust’s Audit Committee, which meets once a year to receive draft charity accounts and audit reports for The Abbotsford Trust and its subsidiary Abbotsford Trading Company. The Committee is responsible for recommending accounts for approval to the Board of Directors, and for making recommendations on the appointment of auditors.

You will exercise oversight of the Trust’s financial management throughout the year through membership of the Executive Committee, which meets up to 10 times a year to receive financial reports from management. Trading Company management accounts are the responsibility of a separate Trading Company Board.

This role will suit someone with professional accountancy qualifications and experience of audited accounts. Ideally, but not necessarily, you will have experience of charity accounts.

You will:

• Help tackle social inequalities affecting young people across London

Claremont Project is a mental health, arts and wellbeing charity based in Angel, Islington. We are seeking a Treasurer Trustee to strengthen our charity as we step into our next chapter.
 

About us

Claremont has been around since 1819 and serves mostly older people through a powerful blend of social prescribing, low-cost psychotherapy and a programme of arts and wellbeing activities.

Claremont is a place of innovation and creativity, underpinned by a Relational Approach which emphasises real listening, self-awareness and an awareness of how we are being in relation to other people. We were the UK’s first Wellbeing Centre long before the term was ubiquitous; and in the 1920s and 30s we ran programmes that became models for the Welfare State.

At our beautiful and well-loved building at 24–27 White Lion Street, we nurture a vibrant, inclusive community, underpinned by our conviction that everybody matters.

About the role

The Treasurer is a key member of the Board of Trustees, helping to ensure Claremont’s financial health, sustainability and good governance.

Working closely with the Chair, CEO and bookkeeper, the Treasurer supports the Board in overseeing the charity’s financial affairs and ensuring appropriate financial stewardship.

The Treasurer will:

• Support the Board in fulfilling its financial governance responsibilities.
• Help ensure that effective financial controls and reporting systems are in place.
• Provide oversight and constructive challenge regarding budgets, forecasts and financial planning.
• Assist the Board in understanding Claremont’s financial position and long-term sustainability.
• Support compliance with Charity Commission and Companies House financial requirements.
• Chair or participate in finance-related committee meetings where appropriate.
• Contribute strategically to the future development of the organisation.

As set out by the Charity Commission, Trustees at Claremont are collectively responsible for:

• Advancing the charitable purposes of Claremont and ensuring we carry out our purposes for public benefit.
• Ensuring Claremont complies with its governing document and the law.
• Acting in Claremont’s best interests.
• Managing Claremont’s resources responsibly.
• Acting with reasonable care and skill.
• Ensuring that Claremont is accountable as a charity.

Who we are looking for

We are seeking someone who:

• Has financial expertise, accountancy qualifications and/or senior financial management experience.
• Understands governance and financial oversight within charities or not-for-profits.
• Can think strategically and communicate financial information clearly to non-financial colleagues.
• Shares Claremont’s mission, values and relational approach.
• Brings warmth, emotional intelligence and collaborative working.

Experience in one or more of the following areas would also be valuable:

• Charity finance and fundraising
• Property or buildings management
• Income generation and lettings

Alongside technical expertise, we are looking for a certain “Claremontiness” — aspirational and personal qualities that embody a genuine relational approach to life.

Time commitment

Quarterly Board meetings (held in the evenings), plus preparation, emails and committee work.

Equality, diversity and inclusion

Claremont is a community where people from all backgrounds are loved and wanted, and which is diverse in terms of characteristics like race and ethnicity, gender, disability and socioeconomic status. We seek to ensure that our Board represents the people we serve and welcome applications from candidates coming from backgrounds that have historically been underrepresented on charity boards.
 

How to apply

Please send a CV and covering letter describing why you are interested in the role and summarising the expertise you bring.

Deadline for applications: Wednesday 30th September

Please note:

• You must be 18 or over and must not be disqualified from acting as a Trustee.
