We’re Mind. We’re the leading mental health charity in England and Wales. We’re here to make sure that everyone with a mental health problem has somewhere to turn for advice and support. With the impact of coronavirus and a growing mental health emergency, this is has never been more critical.
We’re looking for up to three trustees to join our Board from December 2020. Trustees are our most senior leaders. They set our strategic direction, make sure we’re using our resources effectively and ensure we’re having the greatest possible impact on society.
We’re looking for dedicated, empathetic and ambitious candidates to help make our mission a reality, and lead us closer towards our ultimate ambition: a society where everyone experiencing a mental health problem gets both support and respect.

Diversity is critical for a board to be effective; enabling varied discussions, active debate and decision making, so that together we can have the greatest impact. We encourage applications from people with lived experience of mental health problems and from all ethnic, socio-economic,religious and professional and personal backgrounds. Whether you’re an experienced trustee or taking your first steps into governance, if you have the commitment, values and skills, we want to hear from you.

Process:
Applications will be open from 20 July to 10am 17 August. Applicants who meet the minimum requirements will be put forward for a membership ballot in the autumn.
