HLP is committed to equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI), supporting a fairer society through our work.
We want our board to reflect the diversity of our helpline communities and sector and to expose bias, provide richer discussions with well-rounded perspectives that will help trustees in their decision-making, which in turn will increase the charity’s legitimacy and impact.
Helplines Partnership is keen to support the above initiatives in increasing the diversity of its board and therefore we are particularly interested in receiving trustee applications from all communities.
We would particularly like to hear from people who:
- Are looking to be part of the leadership of an established and highly respected charity
- Have, or are seeking to develop, experience in a non-executive role
- Are willing and able to devote the necessary time (see time commitment below)
- Care about mental wellbeing and helplines and feel motivated by our vision, mission and values
Time Commitment:
The successful candidate will be required to attend three two-hour teleconference Board meetings per year and one face to face meeting (historically held in London). Also the Annual Conference which you will be required to attend in person during November.
This is an unpaid voluntary position; however, reasonable travel expenses will be covered.
What are we looking for?
- Some experiences of the charity / helpline sector are desirable but not essential.
- As an organisation, we work remotely, using IT solutions such as Teams, Zoom and SharePoint so location is not so relevant. Being comfortable with the use of these technologies would be helpful.
What difference will you make?
As a small charity, your contribution will be significant and effective. As part of HLP’s Board, you will be helping directly to ensure the effectiveness of the organisation.
Quotes from Trustees who are coming to the end of their tenure:
“Being a trustee at HLP has been a great experience – challenging and positive in equal measure. From a personal point of view, it helped me develop strategic leadership skills and gave me a chance to contribute to areas such as policy development and financial management. Working with and listening to my fellow Trustees was also a great development and networking opportunity. It was also a way of helping HLP grow its impact and do even more for its members and helplines around the country.”
Becoming a helplines trustee has brought me far more than I imagined. I have gained new friends, learnt new skills and experienced excellent networking across many new areas, I can highly recommend it.
It has been a privilege to serve as a Trustee with HLP over the last three years and more recently as Co-Chair along with Elizabeth Rimmer. Looking through a professional lens it has been invaluable learning and development for me and allowed us to develop deeper links across the nations in relation to knowledge sharing and networking for our helpline memberships.
On a personal level I have very much enjoyed working with the HLP board and staff team who are all genuinely passionate about what they do and the helplines and people they represent.
