Job description
Brake is seeking experienced and committed individuals to join our Board of Trustees. This is an opportunity to contribute at a strategic level to shaping the future of road safety and road victim support, and to create lasting, positive change.
If you have the experience and skills outlined below, and are motivated to contribute at Board level, we’d love to hear from you.
About Brake
Every death and serious injury on the road is a preventable tragedy. Yet, on average, five people die every day on the road in the UK and 79 are seriously injured (10-year average from 2015-2024).
Our vision is a world with zero road death and injury, where we can all move in a safe and healthy way, whoever we are and however we travel. Since 1995, Brake has worked to prevent road deaths and serious injuries, make streets safe and healthy places for all, and support road crash victims through our National Road Victim Service. We campaign to prevent crashes and reduce harm when they occur. We help people affected by road death and injury get the support they need, for as long as they need it. We deliver education programmes to improve knowledge, develop skills and shift attitudes. Attached is a copy of our current strategy..
Our values are:
· Professionalism
· Collaboration
· Integrity
· Compassion
· Inclusion
· Courage
Could your strengths, skills or experience make a positive difference to Brake and our work?
The role

- Working with the Chair, other Board members and CEO/COO to ensure that the organisation uses its resources well and exclusively in pursuance of its charitable objects
- Providing strategic advice and guidance where appropriate, drawing on personal expertise, while maintaining appropriate separation from day to day operations
- Acting in the best interests of Brake while exercising independent judgement
- Safeguarding the charity’s assets and reputation
- Acting as an ambassador for Brake and using networks to promote the charity’s work and opportunities to help the charity
- Assessing and scrutinising Board papers and contributing to the work of sub-committees
- Acting as a media spokesperson for the charity when required, representing Brake’s vision, values, and work with confidence and clarity.
We are looking for individuals who can demonstrate:
- Firm commitment to the goals and objectives of Brake
- Collaborative and emotionally intelligent
- Ability to work as part of a team
- Ability to think creatively
- Willingness to support the Brake operational team in their work as appropriate
- Ability to make the time commitment to perform the functions of the role
- Strategic thinking and sound, independent judgement
- Confidence to provide constructive challenge and support within a Board environment
- An understanding of, or willingness to learn, trustee responsibilities and governance

- Clinical risk management and person‑centred support
- Data, digital transformation and AI
- HR, people and culture
- Insurance

The expected time commitment is approximately 1 – 2 days per month. Trustee appointments are typically for a three-year term, which may be renewed. Meetings are primarily held virtually, with occasional in-person meetings.
The role is unremunerated; reasonable expenses will be reimbursed.
Equity, diversity and inclusion
Brake is passionate about creating an inclusive workplace that values diversity. We welcome your application regardless of your background or circumstances. We particularly welcome applications from those who are part of the global majority, the LGBTQIA+ community or disabled. We are proud to be a disability confident employer. We don’t want you to ‘fit’ our culture, we want you to enrich it. So, if you have a passion for making a difference and share in our vision for a world where no one is killed on our roads, we would love to hear from you.

Job description
It’s an exciting time to join Victim Support, as we prepare to begin delivery of the Witness Service from April 2026. We look forward to welcoming current Witness Service staff and volunteers to Victim Support — and we’re also now beginning recruitment for several new roles and to fill vacant positions.
The Witness Service provides free, independent support to any witness giving evidence in criminal courts in England and Wales — both for the prosecution and the defence.
Our trained staff and volunteers help people understand what to expect before, during and after a trial, and offer practical and emotional support every step of the way, so witnesses can give their best evidence.
The Witness Service also supports bereaved family members, and friends and family who are accompanying witnesses in court.
Why join the Witness Service now
This is an exceptional opportunity to help us ensure a smooth transition and shape a high-quality, high-impact and trauma-informed service — so every witness feels informed, supported and more confident in court.
Witness Service Outreach Volunteers provide support to witnesses when they are attending court, as well as pre-trial and post-trial helping them to feel safe and informed. You will provide support to both prosecution and defence witnesses.

Make a difference - you will volunteer directly with witnesses.
-
Gain skills and experience - you will receive training on how to provide practical and emotional support.

-
Be 18 years of age or over.
-
Be able to volunteer for at least 1 day per week, for at least 12 months.
-
Undertake training – this includes virtual training days as well as completing online learning modules.
-
Undertake an Enhanced DBS with Child Barred List check & be part of the DBS Update Service.
-
Be able to provide two satisfactory references.
-
Have an active email address that you are comfortable using in order to engage with VS communications.
Expenses
-
All Victim Support volunteers are entitled to out-of-pocket expenses incurred whilst volunteering, including travel and lunch.
Diversity Matters
