Are you passionate about addressing the societal injustices faced by disabled people? Do you have the skills to contribute to the board of a growing, ambitious charity providing support and making a tangible difference in the lives of adults with learning disabilities and autism?

Share Community is seeking two trustees to fill skills gaps on, and diversify, our board.

Share’s trustee team has responsibility for overseeing strategy and performance. Share currently has nine trustees, and is looking to recruit two more with the enthusiasm, skills and commitment we need to help guide Share through the next phase of its development.

Prospective trustees must have a commitment to Share’s vision and values, and a passion for making a difference in the lives of disabled people. Share is particularly keen to encourage applications from individuals with specific experience of:
