We are looking for new Trustees at Jessie May who share our passion and values, and who can bring expertise, insight and challenge to support our future.
Our trustees play a vital role in making sure that Jessie May achieves its core purpose. They provide leadership, overseeing management and administration of the charity. They also ensure that Jessie May has a clear strategy and that our work and goals are in line with our vision. Just as importantly, they support and challenge the executive team to enable the organisation to grow and thrive, and through this, achieve our mission of, 'Providing the very best care and support possible, at home, for children and young people with life limiting and life threatening conditions and their whole families – for the whole journey in life, at the end of life, and in bereavement.'
Board members have a collective responsibility. This means that trustees always act as a group and not as individuals.
DUTIES
• Support and provide advice on Jessie May’s purpose, vision, goals and activities.
• Approve operational strategies and policies, monitor and evaluate their implementation.
• Oversee Jessie May’s financial plans and budget, monitor and evaluate progress.
• Ensure the effective and efficient administration of the organisation.
• Ensure that key risks are continually identified, monitored and controlled effectively.
• Review and approve Jessie May’s financial statements.
• Provide support and challenge to Jessie May’s CEO and the senior leadership team in the exercise of their delegated authority and affairs.
• Keep abreast of changes in Jessie May’s operating environment.
• Contribute to regular reviews of Jessie May’s own governance. Attend Board meetings, adequately prepared to contribute to discussions.
• Use independent judgment, acting legally and in good faith to promote and protect Jessie May’s interests, to the exclusion of their own personal and/or any third party interests.
• Contribute to the broader promotion of Jessie May’s objects, aims and reputation by applying your skills, expertise, knowledge and contacts.
As a small charity, there will be times when the trustees will need to be actively involved beyond Board meetings. This may involve scrutinising board papers, leading discussions, focusing on key issues, providing advice and guidance on new initiatives, presenting externally, or other issues in which the trustee has special expertise.
A basic level DBS check is required for this post, in addition to two references. Jessie May is an equal opportunities employer and welcomes applications from all backgrounds. We are particularly interested in hearing from people who have lived experience related to the services we provide to families.

The Charity Evaluation Working Group is a community of 300+ charity sector evaluators. Our mission to empower charities, (and other purpose-driven organisations), to create positive change through effective evaluation.
We are looking for passionate individuals to join our board as trustees and chair / co-chairs. This is a unique opportunity to lead our next chapter and strengthen our community.
We’re specifically looking to recruit people who are not only passionate about the use of data and evidence, but bring a wider range of skills to the board, including;
- research and evaluation
- income generation
- comms and marketing
- advocacy and influence
Our trustees are based across the UK, so all of our meetings are online. We’re a small charity, which means that we’re looking for people who are happy to be hands-on.
We would like to maintain the diversity of our board and therefore would particularly like to hear from people from the global majority, lower socioeconomic backgrounds, disabled people and those from other marginalised groups. We’re open to new perspectives and ways of thinking, so you don’t necessarily need to have worked in the third sector, understand evaluation, or have experience of being a trustee before.
For more information and to apply for these roles, please visit our website.
We are accepting applications until 5pm, Monday 22nd September 2025.
