Increasing your influence and network though Board membership
We are looking for five new trustees to join our Board and work collaboratively to support the Science Council to: strengthen the collective impact of the science community for public benefit; work effectively with our community of 35 member organisations (collective membership of over 320,000 scientists, technicians and educators); inspire and empower the science workforce to strive towards professional excellence. Our ambition is to see a diverse and growing science profession that is trusted, respected and is equipped to deliver national ambitions.
We are committed to the principles of equity, diversity and inclusion, and as such we welcome applicants of all backgrounds to represent the diverse population of people that we serve. This year, we are particularly keen to recruit people with experience in Equity, Diversity and Inclusion and Talent Management.
You will be joining us at an exciting time, as we enter our new strategic period. Over the next three years, we will continue to focus on what we do best: upholding high professional standards, facilitating knowledge exchange, and strengthening connections across the science community and beyond. We are also looking to be more ambitious and widen our engagement with employers of scientists, and through our continued relationship with the Gatsby Charitable Foundation, continue to increase awareness of careers in science through our technical pathways project.
This is your opportunity to join the Board of an ambitious and well-run organisation, and play a leading role in the shaping the future of the Science Council.
Being a trustee is an excellent way of developing skills, growing your network and learning about governance. Whatever your background and experience, Board membership will enable you to influence the future direction of the Science Council and have an impact across the scientific community and beyond.
Trustees are responsible for ensuring that the Science Council delivers on its charitable purposes and that it has the required governance and strategic direction to achieve its objectives. Trustees will be expected to use their expertise and experience to offer advice to the executive and provide oversight that ensures that the charity is resourced and administered appropriately.
Whether you are looking to take on your first trustee role or are an experienced trustee, if you have the time to commit to the role, we want to hear from you.

We are seeking an experienced Charity Chair to lead our dynamic, fast growing charity supporting children with SEND in the early years to get the very best start in life. This is an incredible opportunity to drive national change and improvements alongside our CEO, influencing at the highest levels and continuing to expand our work and impact.
We are extremely proud of the growth and impact of Dingley’s Promise over the last three years of Russ Fowler’s tenure as Chair. We’re supported by a dynamic and multi skilled Trustee Board, and have repositioned the charity from a small local provider of specialist early years nurseries, to a national charity that is now the largest provider in the country. We have delivered our specialist inclusion training to over 20,000 early years educators in mainstream settings across England, and are heavily involved in influencing the imminent reforms across the education sector in relation to early years and SEND.
This is a pivotal point for the charity, and we are seeking an experienced, strategic and business minded individual who is ambitious about the impact that Dingley’s Promise can have. We are regularly being offered new opportunities to grow our influence and impact, and are very aware that we have to manage this growth in a responsible and realistic way. We are looking for a new Chair who knows what it takes to drive a national organisation forward, and who is excited about the potential for the organisation to continue to grow and ensure more children and families than ever before have the support they need in the early years.
I look forward to meeting someone who will work in partnership with me as CEO and lead our Board of Trustees to shape the charity’s future growth. I value those who challenge me to think outside of the box, who drive continual reflection and improvement, and who hold me to account as the CEO of an influential national charity representing the voice of children and families. You will play an important part in taking the charity to the next level, helping to increase our impact and influence through your knowledge and connections, and ensuring that we stay on track and accountable to our aims at all times. It’s an incredible opportunity for the right person, who will get an incredible amount of fulfilment from working alongside me to help this dynamic charity to reach its potential. If this sounds like something you could be passionate about, please do get in touch.

Offering your skills and time each month will give our fledgling organisation the boost it needs as we deliver our long-term strategy. Carers' Hub is an independent local charity based in Brixton. Our mission is to improve carers’ lives in Lambeth through quality services and community engagement. We achieve this through four core workstreams: raising awareness of carers, influencing local policy through community engagement activities, improving carer wellbeing and connecting carers to each other and to support and training opportunities through our services.
Caring for a loved one, family member, friend or neighbour, can have a significant impact on all aspects of a carer's own life. Our dedicated and passionate team work with carers to help overcome challenges around managing at home, finances, caring with confidence, education and employment, physical health and emotional wellbeing.
We have an exciting opportunity for new Trustees to join the Carers’ Hub Board, responsible for the overall governance and strategic direction of the charity. We have recently reviewed the current Board and we are particularly interested to hear from people with the experience or skills outlined below, but these are not mandatory, and we would like to hear from anyone with an interest in being a trustee:
- Finance: accounting, managing budgets, producing financial reports. You might be a qualified accountant, or someone who has good financial management experience. We are looking for someone who can help ensure that the Board can provide adequate scrutiny, assurance, and support of the charity's finances.
- Fundraising: writing bids, securing corporate partners or raising donations from individuals. We are keen to diversify our income and we are looking for someone who has fundraising experience to advise and support our staff team to raise funds.
- Legal: employment law, charity law or a different discipline. We are looking for someone who can offer us advice and guidance when needed and help us with reviewing contracts and other documents.
At Carers' Hub, we want our Board to be representative of the diverse community we support. We are keen to hear from anyone who is interested, even if you haven't previously pictured yourself as a trustee or aren't sure if you have the experience or skills required.
Meetings take place at our offices, in person, in Brixton approximately once every two-three months. They currently run from 4pm until 6pm and we value our Trustees being able to attend meetings in person. It is hoped that you will be able to contribute your time to help develop pieces of work outside of meetings depending on your skill set and availability.
