ABOUT US
Somebody goes missing in the UK every 90 seconds. Missing People exists to ease the heartache experienced by those missing someone, and to help people who are away from home find their way back to safety. Our vision is for every missing child, adult and family left behind to find help, hope and a safe way to reconnect. We are a non-judgemental, highly skilled team of staff and volunteers working for everyone who needs us. We provide free, confidential support, help and advice by phone, email, text and live chat.
In our 30th anniversary year, The Trustees and Executive launched a new 2023-2028 Strategy – From Crisis to Hope in consultation with people with lived experience and key stakeholders. The three key goals are:
- Going missing is understood as a crisis that can be a matter of life or death
- All missing people and their loved ones get the right help at the right time
- Fewer missing people come to harm.

Haig Housing Trust provides housing for veterans and their families. We’re looking for a passionate, experienced individual to join our Board of Trustees and help us drive real change.
What will you be doing?
Our purpose is to provide quality homes to improve the lives of veterans and their families. We have a long and proud history of supporting our beneficiaries. We have over 1,500 properties across the UK on small well-managed estates, ranging from six houses to 360 homes on our largest estate in Morden. Homes are available at an affordable rent. We also offer extensive support, advice and signposting to assist those in housing need. We believe housing is fundamental to building thriving communities.
This is an exciting time to join our board. Now under the recent Patronage of HRH The Princess Royal we have ambitious plans to improve our housing stock, grow the support we offer our beneficiaries and ensure they remain at the core of everything we do. We have a strong leadership team, a robust financial base and are confident about our future.
Due to planned retirement we want to strengthen the Board. We want to stress that no board experience is necessary to apply – we will help you to learn and grow. What we do ask is that you are committed, curious and collaborative. If you have a legal background, that would be of particular interest.
We are on an important journey to improve our impact, growing investment in our properties over the next five years. We froze rents in 2022, allowing us to keep increases to below inflation over the last four years. We want to build our profile, thinking creatively about the needs of the veteran community and on how to innovate our service delivery for their benefit. With our new chair, the Board will shape our strategic goals, ensuring that we continue to deliver housing that is fit for the future.
We are in a strong financial position. Total income in FY 23/24 was £12M. We are debt-free with a strong balance sheet. We own our properties, have strong reserves and are diversifying our income, growing fundraising so that we can modernise our homes and increase our impact.
We are governed by a diverse Board of independent, non-executive trustees with a wealth of professional, charity and Armed Forces experience. Trustees meet formally every quarter and delegate specific issues to three committees (Finance and Risk, Estates and People) that report to the Board. Overall, we have c60 staff, based in Victoria, led by the Chief Executive and a Senior Leadership Team of four.
What are we looking for?
Person Specification

- Clear empathy for Armed Forces veterans and their families and a passion for our mission.
- A collaborative, engaging style that promotes positive relationships at all levels and with partners.
- A willingness to help us develop and deliver better customer service.

- Willing to learn about those areas of running a charity with which you are not familiar

Able to make the time commitments of the role.
Desirable
- Experience of operating in the charitable sector.
- Connections within the military and veterans’ sectors.
- Legal experience (in a relevant sector)
What difference will you make?
Trustees bring their own experience to a Board, using their skill and judgement to enable good decision-making and deliver impact. If you share our passion for helping those who have served in the Armed Forces and their families and want to play your part in delivering a better future for them, we’d love to hear from you.
We do ask that candidates commit to:
- Attending four board meetings, a strategy offsite and four sub-committee meetings a year.
- Developing a good understanding of our operations and the environment in which we operate.
- Meeting the people we help and the teams that support them.
- Helping the board ensure the highest standards of governance and strategic focus.
- Monitoring the performance of Haig’s activities in a constructive and collaborative way.
- Making time, skills, and experience available (in and outside of regular board meetings).
The overall time commitment is around 1 day a month on average. Board usually meets in person in London each quarter; committee meetings are remote. Trustees are appointed for renewable terms of office of three years. The role is unremunerated, although expenses are reimbursed.

Ready to Make a Difference?
For Students/New to Social Media Management: Just email us with a few lines about why this interests you and which social media platforms you know well (personal use totally counts!).
For Marketing Professionals/Experienced Social Media Managers: Send us your CV or experience outline, a brief note about your interest in the role, and examples of social media accounts you've managed (portfolio links welcome but not essential).
Questions? Don't hesitate to reach out - we're friendly people who'd love to chat about what's involved and how we can make this work for you.
What Makes This Special:
Every post you create, every comment you respond to, every new follower you gain helps us reach more people who need our service, attract volunteers to join our mission, and connect with potential sponsors who want to support our work. Whether you're sharing smartphone photos or creating sophisticated outreach strategies, you're helping us grow our impact and support more visually impaired people in our community.
We're growing fast and may need multiple social media volunteers eventually - early volunteers will have the opportunity to shape how we expand and potentially coordinate with future team members.

Join us as Dog A.I.D.'s new Honorary Secretary and you would be joining the Board at an exciting time as we have launched the charity’s Strategic Plan with a new CEO supported by a small but strong team, which we will be building further this year. As Honorary Secretary you would be using your skills and experience to support the leadership and strategic direction of our charity as we look to achieve ambitious strategic growth targets over the coming years, becoming a larger, more robust charity with increased profile and reach.
Dog A.I.D. empowers physically disabled people by coaching them to train their own pet dog to become an accredited Assistance Dog. By focusing on the existing pet/owner bond, outcomes for our clients include:
· increased independence and self-confidence
· improved mental well-being
· reduction in social isolation
· reduced reliance on family members and/or carers.
· increased opportunities, with many of our clients being able to return to work or education, supported by their accredited Assistance Dog.
We are looking for an active and well-organised Secretary who can provide support for our governance functions. You will be required to attend and minute online quarterly Board meetings and other ad-hoc meetings and strategic discussions.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
Thank you!
