Trustee role description
About IMIX
Immigration is one of the key debates within UK politics and the media. IMIX is working to ensure that debate includes the voices of migrants and those who support them.
Our vision is for a society that welcomes people who move to the UK and understands the different journeys—through migration or displacement—that bring them here. A society that recognises how overlapping injustices shape those journeys, and where everyone can belong, be treated fairly, and live well together.
Our mission is to use our media and communications expertise to ensure the voices and stories of migrants and refugees help shape how migration is understood and discussed in the UK.
We do this by working with people who have lived experience of the immigration system, the organisations that support them, and the journalists who shape public opinion—always recognising the inequalities and barriers that affect whose voices are heard.
We have a new strategy to 2030, which sets out the role that we play in the migration sector, and our ambitions for the years ahead. These are to:
-
ensure that more people with lived experience of migration have the skills and confidence to communicate effectively in the media.
-
ensure that more organisations working to support migrants and refugees develop their media communication skills and capacity to tell the human story of migration.
-
work with journalists and media teams to significantly increase the level of positive migrant and refugee stories reported in the UK media, designed to increase empathy and understanding of the issues experienced by migrants and refugees.
To strengthen our governance for this new strategic period, we’re recruiting four new Trustees.
Here’s what our current Trustees say about being part of IMIX:
“It has been a privilege to support IMiX as part of the board. I have enjoyed seeing the organisation progress. A small but hugely passionate and effective team doing work that is more important than ever. IMiX has proved itself invaluable to the sector and whoever joins the board next will have important work to do to continue to strengthen IMiX at this crucial time for the debate on immigrants and refugees. This role offers the opportunity to help spread a reasoned narrative on a hot topic political issue that badly needs balance.” Shazia Ejaz
“It’s truly been a privilege to serve on the Board and to be part of such an inspiring organisation. I’ve learned so much from this experience.” Zain Hafeez
“To an increasingly challenging public conversation about migration, IMiX brings calm expertise and evidence, positive messages and life-changing stories that change people's minds. It's a really important role to play, and the Board of Trustees make this possible by steering the strategy of the organisation and ensuring the staff and volunteers can deliver their work in a safe and supportive environment. Our Trustees are a strong and committed group of people and it's a pleasure and privilege to work with them.” Geraldine Blake (Chair)
The Duties of a Trustee
Trustees have overall control of a charity and are responsible for making sure it’s doing what it was set up to do, keeping the organisation on track and running effectively.
The IMIX Board meets four times a year to discuss with the Chief Executive and the team a wide range of issues. Our shared duties are to:
Strategy
-
Support the implementation of IMIX’s vision, mission, values and strategy.
-
Approve activities that deliver the strategic goals, along with operational policies, and monitor and evaluate their implementation.
-
Ensure that key risks are being identified, monitored and controlled effectively.
Finance and Resources
-
Ensure the strategy is resourced by overseeing IMIX’s financial plans and budgets.
-
Support and participate in fundraising and income generation activities
-
Review and approve IMIX’s annual financial statements.
IMIX Team
-
Provide support and challenge to IMIX’s Chief Executive
-
Ensure that structures are in place that safeguard the well-being of IMIX’s team including volunteers and ambassadors.
-
Ensure the effective and efficient administration of the organisation.
External
-
Act as a champion of IMIX, promoting IMIX’s aims and reputation by applying your skills, expertise, knowledge and contacts whilst also ensuring that IMIX plays an appropriate role in the wider migration sector.
-
Act as an ambassador for IMIX, attending events and relevant meetings.
-
Bring intelligence to the Board on changes in IMIX’s operating environment.
General
-
Contribute to regular reviews of IMIX’s own governance.
-
Attend Board meetings, coming prepared to contribute to discussions.
Being a trustee means making decisions that will impact on the services and support that IMIX delivers and making a difference to the debate on migration.
What we’re looking for
We are looking for people to join our Board who have either or both of the following:
Lived experience of migration or asylum
More than half of our Board of Trustees have lived experience of migration, ranging from arriving as a refugee, growing up in the UK without settled status, moving to the UK from Europe, or being British but born outside of the UK.
It is important to us that people with lived experience are leading the governance of the organisation, as well as being involved across our projects, through Advisory Groups and Ambassador programmes. We recognise that diverse perspectives strengthen governance and decision-making, and we seek to continue broadening the range of backgrounds and experiences represented on our board.
Professional skills
We’re particularly looking for experience in one or more of the following areas:
-
Media and Journalism
-
Digital
-
Fundraising and/or income generation
-
Legal and financial oversight for charities
-
Public sector/local authority experience, in particular regional links beyond London
Personal attributes
All our Trustees need to have:
-
A commitment to IMIX and its values
-
The ability to analyse information and understand the implications and opportunities
-
Sound, independent judgement, and a willingness to speak your mind
-
A willingness and ability to devote the necessary time and effort
-
An understanding of the legal duties, responsibilities and liabilities of trusteeship
-
An ability to work collectively and effectively on a Board
What’s the commitment?
The Trustee term is three years, with an option to renew for a second term.
We have quarterly board meetings which take place online, with at one in person away day each year in London. We also have two sub-committees, one on People and HR, and the other on Finances and Funding, which meet in the month before a Board meeting.
How will we support you?
We’ll provide a full induction to the work of IMIX, and opportunities for you to understand what we do and how.
The Chair and Chief Executive will support you to settle in, and there is an annual one-to-one with the Chair for you to reflect on your learning and your experience of being on the Board.
We can also provide training and opportunities for you to develop your governance skills and particularly welcome people who may be new to governance roles.
What difference will you make?
IMIX is at the heart of the UK’s migration debate. By 2030, we want to see a shift—not just in media coverage, but in the national conversation. Migration will no longer be framed as a problem to be managed, but as part of who we are as a society. Public understanding will be more empathetic, informed and connected to lived experience. People who move will be seen as neighbours, colleagues, carers and community members—not strangers.
We believe this future is possible. It will be built through shared values, solidarity across communities, and powerful storytelling that reflects the full complexity of people’s lives. At its heart will be the principle that migration is not a threat but a vital part of a healthy, connected society.
At a time when the rise of the far right is fuelling hostility and fear around migration, our work has never been more urgent. IMIX stands with partners across the migration sector to counter divisive narratives and strengthen solidarity. As a Trustee, you will help us ensure that truth, empathy and shared humanity remain at the centre of the national conversation.
IMIX will continue to play its role—supporting the sector, amplifying migrant voices, and changing the story. As a Trustee of IMIX, you will help us to deliver this future.
How to apply
To apply please send a CV and a covering letter explaining why you want the role and how you meet the requirements by midnight on Monday 10th November 2025.
If you would like an informal chat before applying with the Chair or Chief Executive, please contact Jenni Regan
We will be holding interviews on Tuesday 25th and Friday 28th November 2025, with the intention that new Trustees will join the Board in December 2025.
Our vision is for a society which embraces people who move to the UK whether through migration or displacement
