CBM UK Trustee (x 2 positions)
Do you believe in an inclusive world where all people with disabilities can participate and thrive? Are you passionate about changing the structures and systems that keep people poor and marginalised?
What we’re looking for
We’re looking for two new trustees to play a vital role in shaping how we deliver our work most effectively. If you’ve got business acumen, accounting expertise, or an innovative approach to international development, we’d love to hear from you.
Your contribution
Join us as a trustee and you’ll help ensure the good governance of CBM UK. You’ll provide financial scrutiny of fund management and supervise the performance of the CEO. Ultimately, you will help ensure our resources are used as effectively as possible to serve people with disabilities in some of the world’s poorest countries.
You’ll join a Board of 11 directors who have experience across international development, education, law, financial services and management. We’re looking for two new trustees who bring skills in:
- business (particularly social enterprise and start up),
- accountancy (with understanding of UK SORP), or
- innovative approaches to international development, including alternative models of development financing.
We strongly encourage applications from women and people with lived experience of disability.
About us
For over 115 years, CBM has been transforming lives around the world. Part of a Global Federation, we work with local partners to ensure people with disabilities in some of the world’s poorest communities have access to healthcare, education and livelihoods. This is a truly exciting time to join us as we embark on an ambitious new strategy to end the cycle of poverty and disability.
How to apply
If you share our vision of an inclusive world in which all people with disabilities enjoy their human rights and achieve their full potential, we’d love to hear from you.

Thank you!
PDA Society are excited to share that we are looking for 2 new Trustees to join our board.
Trustees play a key role in providing strategic direction, oversight, and support to ensure that the PDA Society continues to grow sustainably and deliver real impact for the community we serve.
Following the retirement of two Trustees we’re keen to broaden the range of skills and experiences represented. Our work is guided by people with lived experience, and our Board of Trustees plays a central role in shaping our strategy and ensuring that our values are embedded across everything we do.
Appointments are made on merit, and we are committed to creating a diverse, inclusive Board that truly reflects the communities we serve.
We particularly welcome applications from anyone who has experienced marginalisation due to their race or religion, as these voices are currently underrepresented on our Board.
This is a voluntary position, and Trustees are not remunerated, although reasonable expenses are reimbursed. Trustees are appointed for an initial 3-year term.
