Job description

Independent Director
Voluntary (reasonable expenses reimbursed)
Remote, with occasional in-person meetings (typically in London)
Time commitment: Around 1–2 days per month

Our client is a mission-led organisation dedicated to creating thriving futures for children and young people. They harness the power of evidence, experience and design to address complex challenges with and for children and young people.

They are currently seeking an Independent Director to join the Board of their trading subsidiary. This is a critical governance role, providing strategic insight, external perspective, and constructive challenge. The successful candidate will contribute to informed decision-making, robust risk management, and ensure that the client’s work remains closely aligned with their charitable mission and long-term objectives.

The client's vision is a world where people, communities, and services collaborate to shape effective systems that offer every child and young person a fair chance to grow up happy, safe, healthy and thriving. Their work spans a variety of vital areas, including early years support, mental health systems, child protection, and increasing opportunities for young people - driving systemic change where it’s needed most.

They’re particularly interested in hearing from individuals who bring:

  • Board-level or senior leadership experience, ideally in a socially focused or purpose-led setting—this could include consultancy, social enterprise, or commercial organisations with strong values

  • An independent and thoughtful mindset, comfortable asking critical questions, providing both support and challenge, and collaborating effectively

  • Financial and strategic confidence, with a sound understanding of governance, organisational risk, and operating a business with a social impact mission

  • A real commitment to improving outcomes for children and young people, and a belief in more equitable, inclusive systems

The client is especially keen to bring new and diverse perspectives to their Board. You might have experience in areas such as public service transformation, youth leadership, community organising, philanthropy, research and evaluation or you may bring insights from another relevant discipline.

Becoming an Independent Director with this client offers an opportunity to help steer an organisation that’s at the forefront of social change. You’ll be part of a thoughtful, inclusive, and committed team, playing an important role in building a fairer future for children and young people across the UK.
