Many older people in our communities face significant challenges - from loneliness, isolation, and frailty to financial hardship and managing lifechanging conditions like Dementia. The work we do is vital in ensuring they have access to the support and care they deserve.
Our team is deeply passionate about this mission. Many of us have personal experience supporting older relatives through similar challenges, and these lived experiences fuel our commitment to delivering high-quality, compassionate services.
Following our successful merger in August 2023, our organisation is now moving forward with greater ambition and a renewed focus on expanding our reach. As a Trustee, you will play a crucial role in shaping that future - helping us to serve more people, strengthen our services, and advocate for the needs of older people across Maidstone, Sevenoaks, and Tonbridge.
We are looking for people from a financial background to help with oversight of our budgeting, planning, forecasting, investments, governance, reporting and financial decision-making. This is a great opportunity to work closely with organisational leaders to ensure every penny makes a difference.

Main Responsibilities/ Key Duties
Membership Strategy & Structure

- Shape intentional progression routes that support members to move from supporter → contributor → leader, ensuring growth in responsibility, agency, and influence over time.
- Align membership pathways with donor journeys, ambassador programmes, and volunteering routes, ensuring coherence across engagement, fundraising, and advocacy without conflating value with money.

Values & Culture

- Identify and address misalignment early, clearly, and respectfully, prioritising restoration and learning over exclusion.

We are building something new and it requires people willing to build before they benefit.
Purpose of the Membership Director Role
The Membership Director is responsible for building, growing, and protecting the heart of the CIC:
our membership community. Membership is not a mailing list. It is a collective of people choosing to belong, contribute, and build together.
This role shapes:

- How they feel valued, informed, and aligned
- How community becomes sustainability
What You Will Be Responsible For

- Align membership with donor pathways and ambassador programmes
Community Building
- Ensure members feel:
- Seen
- Informed
- Included
- Valued
- Create rhythms of communication, updates, and belonging
- Support decentralised community participation, not top-down control
Systems & Data

- Track:
- Growth
- Engagement
- Retention
- Work with Digital, Finance, and Social teams to ensure clean data and ethical use
Values & Culture

This Role Requires
You must:

- Be comfortable working unpaid during the build phase
- Be deeply aligned with community-led, anti-capitalist values
- Be consistent, focused, and self-directed
- Understand that meaningful change requires discipline, not vibes
ALWAYS WORKING THROUGH OUR VALUES:
EACH ONE TEACH ONE LOVE AS LAW KNOWLEDGE OF SELF
You should already have experience in some of the following:
- Community building
- Membership programmes
- Customer or community experience
- Systems thinking
- Digital platforms and data
- Purpose-driven or grassroots organisations
Formal qualifications are not required.
Integrity, clarity, and commitment are.
This Role Is NOT for You If
- You want quick money
- You need external validation to stay motivated
- You prefer rigid hierarchies
- You are uncomfortable with responsibility
- You are only here for a title
What You Gain
- A founding leadership role in a growing CIC
- The chance to help design:
- Future paid roles
- Income structures
- Working culture
- Deep personal transformation through meaningful work
- Real contribution to social and cultural change
- Collective success, not individual competition
As the CIC scales, this role is expected to evolve into a paid senior leadership position, shaped by those who built it.
A Final Word
We are not offering security.
We are offering possibility.
We are not promising ease.
We are building truth, structure, and collective power.
If you know the old world is ending and you want to help build what comes next - this role is for you.
