We are clinically led, values-driven, and rapidly growing. Following the introduction of a professional staff team and a bold new strategy, we are entering an exciting period of transformation.
We are now recruiting a non-member trustee to join our Board and help shape our commercial direction and future growth.
This is an important and unique opportunity. We are looking for someone who can bring commercial insight, strategic thinking, and a fresh, external perspective to support our mission.

Role description:
The Robin Cancer Trust is the UK’s only testicular, ovarian and germ cell cancer charity, and our mission is to save lives. Our vision is to reach every young person in the UK with our life-saving cancer campaigns, and we are looking for new trustees from across the UK to work alongside our staff to make this a reality!
Our impact:
• We educate young people to give them the best chance of surviving these cancers.
• We engage young people with humour to break the stigma of talking about these cancers.
• We empower young people affected by these cancers to thrive.
Our values:
• Respect: Not only for the important work we undertake, but also the people who support our mission. We believe in open, honest, and empathetic communication between ourselves and to our community.
• Creativity: We are a small team with a big vision – in order to drive the change we want to see in the world, we must innovate, disrupt and experiment.
• Trust: We are accountable to each other & our beneficiaries. We are responsible for upholding these values and the quality of work we undertake – and will do so with integrity at all times.
If our mission, vision, and values inspire you and resonate with you, please apply to join our Board of Trustees – we want to hear from you.
What we’re looking for…
We believe in letting our community lead us - and we hope to build a board that reflects this.
Whether you’re an established leader in your field, or an aspiring leader looking to gain experience; whether you’ve been directly affected by testicular, ovarian or germ cell cancer, or are passionate about supporting the cancer community; whether you have years of experience in the charity sector, or have been inspired by our mission to give back – we want you to help lead our charity, and work with the staff team to help us reach a diverse nationwide audience with our life-saving cancer awareness, education and support programmes.
We know we are not as diverse as we want to be, so we are actively searching for people who share our passion for our mission, with different backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences, to collectively make a difference.
We’re particularly interested in hearing from you if you have experience in any of the following:
- Marketing and Brand.
- Fundraising across different income streams, with a particular interest in Corporate, Events, and developing new income streams.
What’s in it for you?
You will be driving forward change, helping make our vision become a reality, and directly impacting the lives of young people across the country affected by germ cell cancers. In short, you will help save lives.
You will gain invaluable knowledge in strategic planning – helping us identify new opportunities for growth, as well as facing the challenges that occur in an ever-evolving sector. You will develop skills in new areas – working closely with other members of the board and the staff team to deliver our key objectives. You will also have the chance to learn from new experiences – having the opportunity to take part in our networking, fundraising events, and awareness activities in the community.
Don’t just take our word for it, here are some quotes from current and past trustees (we promise we didn’t make them say this…)
● ‘It's a privilege to be a Trustee – an awesome experience that I’d highly recommend’
● ‘I feel lucky to be a Trustee of such a brilliant charity’
● ‘It's amazing to see the impact and how far we've come in such a short amount of time’
● ‘It's not all give - you get a lot back and are always learning and challenging yourself’
● ‘It feels like being part of a community with colleagues building a movement, not a charity’
The commitment from you...
Your passion, experience, knowledge (and time).We ask our trustees to commit to a monthly virtual meeting (approx. 1.5 hours), along with a few hours per month to support the staff team and deliver strategic goals. This is a minimum, but often trustees commit to take on additional responsibilities within projects, or within their specialities.
How do I apply?
We are supporting anonymous recruitment for this role, so please apply below by submitting your CV, and your covering letter – which is your opportunity to tell us all about yourself, your experiences, your knowledge, and most importantly your passion for our cause and why you want to be a trustee of The Robin Cancer Trust.
Deadline for applications: 30th October
We reserve the right to close applications earlier than the closing date, depending on the number of responses. We will endeavour to get back to you as soon as possible and are looking at short listing applications and arranging interviews in November,
If there is anything we can do to assist you in your application or preparations to be interviewed for this trustee role, please let us know so we can ensure you have a positive and comfortable experience.
