About Vibes in Care (ViC)
Vibes in Care CIC is a newly forming Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) dedicated to amplifying the voices of children and young people who are care-experienced or at risk. By harnessing insights from lived experience, we develop training, workshops, and advocacy initiatives that reshape professional practices within the care sector.
- Founded on Lived Experience: We believe that those who have gone through the care system have the clearest insights into how to improve it.
- Innovative Training & Workshops: Our programmes empower professionals - such as social workers, educators, and youth workers - to bring about lasting change in how care is delivered.
- Collaborative Culture: Partnership is at the heart of ViC. We work closely with local authorities, youth organisations, and sector specialists to co-create solutions.
Why We Need You
We are seeking Trustees who share our passion for transforming the care experience. Whether you have direct care experience (e.g., have been in care yourself), professional experience in the sector, or simply a deep commitment to improving outcomes for care-experienced children and young people, your voice and leadership are invaluable at this pivotal stage of our growth.
The Role
- Steer Strategic Vision: Help shape and refine ViC’s long-term plans, ensuring that lived experience remains at the core of every decision.
- Champion Good Governance: Oversee compliance with charity regulations, manage financial health, and set policies that maintain transparency and integrity.
- Advocate for Care-Experienced Children and Young People: Act as an ambassador, raising awareness about ViC’s mission and the importance of centring care-experienced voices.
- Support Growth & Partnerships: Contribute insights on fundraising, partnership-building, and community engagement to help ViC expand its reach and impact.

- Dedication to Social Impact: A genuine desire to improve day-to-day experiences and long-term outcomes for care-experienced children and young people.
- Collaborative Mindset: Ability to work well in a team, valuing diverse perspectives and open dialogue.
- Integrity & Oversight: Commitment to upholding the highest ethical standards and acting in the best interests of ViC’s beneficiaries.
- Strategic Thinking: Capable of understanding big-picture objectives, assessing organisational risks, and spotting growth opportunities.
Skills & Experience (Desirable)
- Professional or Personal Care Experience: Lived experience, in social care work, child protection, or related fields.
- Finance/Accounting: Competent in budget oversight, financial planning, or grant management.
- Legal & Compliance: Familiarity with UK charity regulations or basic legal frameworks.
- HR & Governance: Ability to guide policy setting, recruitment, and staff/volunteer support.
- Fundraising & Communications: Skill in securing resources and raising organisational visibility.
What’s In It For You?
- A Real Chance to Influence: Your perspective will be integral in shaping how ViC evolves.
- Professional Development: Gain governance experience, hone leadership skills, and build your professional network.
- Impact & Legacy: Contribute directly to improving practices that affect some of society’s most vulnerable young people.
- Flexible & Supportive Environment: We meet quarterly, with much of our collaboration happening remotely, so you can fit your responsibilities around other commitments.
Time Commitment
- Board Meetings: Held four times per year (virtually or in person).
- Preparation & Engagement: A few hours each quarter to review papers and stay updated on organisational developments.
- Additional Involvement: Optional sub-committees or working groups on areas like safeguarding, finance, and training delivery.
Application Process
- CV & Cover Letter: Apply via CharityJob outlining your relevant experience (especially care experience), why you’re passionate about our cause, and how you hope to contribute as a Trustee.
- Informal Interview: We’ll invite shortlisted candidates for a conversation with our Director (Founder) to explore mutual fit and answer any questions.
- Appointment: Successful applicants will be welcomed onto the board, pending usual referencing and compliance checks.
