We are seeking a new Chair to join Age International and help us drive towards our vision of a world where every older person is included and valued.
Our world is ageing rapidly, and yet ageism means older people’s needs and contributions are too often overlooked. Age International supports and promotes the rights of older people in low- and middle-income countries, through long-term programmes, humanitarian responses and advocacy.
We are the international arm of the Age UK Group, the UK member of the HelpAge International global network, and a member of the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) – the only member focussed on supporting older people through crises, from Ukraine to Gaza, Afghanistan to Myanmar.
We drive change in UK policy through influencing and campaigning focused on older people’s health, income security, humanitarian inclusion and rights. For example, we are calling for the UK Government to support a new United Nations Convention on the rights of older persons. Our turnover in the last financial year was £21m.
We are looking for a strategically focused leader with experience as a Chair, or Trustee, and an understanding of the UK international development / humanitarian sector, who will work with the CEO on direction setting, income generation and profile raising. The Chair will also play a key role in fostering collaboration between Age International, Age UK and HelpAge International.
This is a unique opportunity, so if you are excited about creating change for, and with, older people around the world – we would love to hear from you.

We are delighted to be working with Restore, an Oxfordshire-based charity that has been offering employment support to people with mental ill-health since 1977. Restore supports people - through recovery groups, coaching and learning - to take control of their own recovery, develop skills, and progress towards their own goals to live more fulfilling lives. It works within the community to increase knowledge, awareness and reduce stigma associated with mental ill health. Restore is also home to the Oxfordshire Recovery College for therapeutic peer learning and is an expert provider of formal mental health training.
Restore are now seeking to appoint a Treasurer, to join the Board to support the organisation to achieve its goals. They will have a strategic role ensuring that the organisation complies with its purpose, charity law and company law and that the organisation pursues its objectives as defined in its governing document.
The Treasurer will have relevant accounting/finance experience to oversee all financial aspects of Restore, on behalf of the Board, to ensure its short and long-term sustainability. They will partner with the CEO and Head of Finance and Administration, along with chairing the Finance sub-committee to ensure that Restore operates within the financial guidelines set out in current legislation, by the charity commission and in Restore’s governing document.
Aside from specialist skills, the successful candidate will need excellent communication skills with great leadership qualities, the ability to confidently lead the Board, promote a collaborative team, deliver the vision of the charity and bring people together.
The successful candidate will need these essential skills:
- Some Board-level or governance-related experience
- Strategic vision and sound independent judgement
- Creative thinking and problem solving
- An understanding of legal duties, responsibilities and liabilities of trusteeship
- A commitment to and passion for Restore’s aims and objectives
- Integrity, objectivity, accountability, honesty and leadership.

We welcome and encourage adult applicants of all ages, gender, ethnicity, sexuality, sexual orientation, socio-economic background, religion, neurodiversity and lived experience.
Time Commitments:
You’ll need to be able to:
- Attend quarterly board meetings from 4:30pm to 7pm.
- Attend the Annual General Meeting (AGM) alongside the CEO once per year.
- The Treasurer will Chair the Finance Sub Committee

- Correspond by email to discuss items and make decisions between meetings
- Attend other activities/fundraising events.
Meetings are currently hybrid, where attendance can be in person or online. Restore are aware that people who are working full-time or have family/other responsibilities may not always be able to travel to the meetings in person. It is important that Trustees are able to visit services, attend at least some meetings in person and have a connection with the community to which we deliver services. With this in mind, it’s unlikely that you will be based outside of Oxfordshire and its surrounding counties.
Tenure:
Trustees can join at any time during the year but are formally appointed at the November AGM for a three-year term at a time which can be extended twice (plus an extra year by agreement).
If you feel you have a passion for mental health and the aims of this charity, we would like to hear from you.
