The International Rescue Committee (IRC) responds to the world's worst humanitarian crises, helping to restore health, safety, education, economic wellbeing, and power to people devastated by conflict and disaster. Founded in 1933 at the call of Albert Einstein, the IRC is one of the world's largest international humanitarian non-governmental organisations, at work in more than 40 countries across Africa, Asia, the Middle East, the Americas and Europe, helping people to survive, reclaim control of their future and strengthen their communities. A force for humanity, IRC employees deliver lasting impact by restoring safety, dignity and hope to millions.
IRC UK is part of the IRC global network, which has its global headquarters in New York. Our team in the UK works to deliver funding, policy and practice change, and programming. We are dedicated to supporting people across the arc of crisis – from conflict to refuge to resettlement – and since 2021, IRC UK has also provided integration services directly to refugees in the UK. We aim to centre the voice of our clients in all our work, including by working with a Community Advisory Board of 12 refugees and asylum seekers in the UK to ensure their experience and expertise shapes our UK programmes.
IRC UK’s Board of Trustees
Our Board of Trustees are responsible for overall good governance of IRC UK and supporting us to deliver against our strategic plan in areas such as programmes, fundraising, policy and advocacy, communications, people and culture, finance and operations. As of May 2026, we have 11 Trustees with a broad range of experience and expertise across areas relevant to IRC UK’s work, ensuring as a collective they can perform their strategic, supervisory and governance duties well.
The roles
In 2025, we saw a dramatic collapse in international aid and a retreat from global cooperation, despite unprecedented levels of humanitarian need. This trend is continuing at pace in 2026 with rapidly escalating global conflict amplified by climate change and entrenched poverty. In the UK, we are working to protect the rights of refugees in an increasingly challenging media and political environment.
In this context, we are seeking two new Trustees to lend skills and expertise in areas which we have identified as critical to strengthening the Board’s capability for the years ahead. These will replace Trustees nearing the ends of their terms. The successful candidate(s) will have:
Essential experience:
· Senior leadership experience within a complex international and matrix-structured organisation (charity, NGO, public, private);
· Strong leadership skills, and the ability to support and challenge executive leadership (including the ability to think critically and ask the right questions);
· Strong cross-cultural awareness and a commitment to role-modelling and advancing diversity, equality and inclusion;
· High standards of integrity and accountability;
· Ability to understand and interpret complex information pertaining to IRC UK’s financial position, risk and performance;
· Ability to work collaboratively with others; and
· An interest and willingness to devote the necessary time and effort to successfully deliver this role.
Desirable experience:
· Experience in or understanding of the international development or UK charity sector;
· Experience operating at Board or equivalent strategic level;
· Strong networks and willingness to make connections which advance IRC UK’s charitable purpose, particularly in high-value fundraising.
We are particularly interested to hear from candidates who can demonstrate any of the following:
The mission of the IRC is to help people whose lives and livelihoods are shattered by conflict and disaster.

Help shape the future of local government
For more than 40 years, LGIU has been a trusted partner to local government. We empower councils with the capabilities, practical insight and connections they need to lead change and build thriving communities.
Today, local government is operating in an environment of accelerating change and unprecedented complexity. Councils are navigating deepening financial pressures, rising demand across frontline services, structural reform, political volatility and widening inequalities, often simultaneously. These are not isolated challenges and they cannot be solved through piecemeal or one-size-fits-all approaches.
At LGIU, we believe national success is built on strong local foundations. We also believe the future of local government will be shaped not by institutions working alone, but through collaboration, innovation and shared leadership across the sector.
That is why we are seeking up to five external Trustees to join our Board and help guide the next phase of LGIU.
About LGIU
LGIU is a non-partisan membership organisation and registered charity working with more than 260 councils across the UK and internationally. We are an independent voice for local government and a leading hub for ideas, research, practical intelligence and sector collaboration.
We help councils:
Make sense of emerging trends and policy change
Learn from peers facing similar challenges
Build organisational capability and resilience
Co-create solutions to complex problems
Shape national debates and reform agendas
Our work spans research, policy, events, international learning, leadership support and cross-sector partnerships. Increasingly, our focus is on helping local government move from complexity to clarity to action.
The opportunity
LGIU is owned and governed by its members. The current Board is composed of leaders and other senior elected members from our membership. As part of a set of wider governance changes, we are now seeking to augment our board with up to five external trustees.
As an external Trustee, you will join a collaborative and ambitious Board responsible for the strategic direction, governance and long-term sustainability of the charity and its subsidiaries. You will work alongside fellow trustees, the Chief Executive and Chief Operating Officer to help ensure LGIU continues to evolve, grow and deliver meaningful impact for councils and communities.
We are particularly interested in individuals who can bring strategic insight, external perspective and senior leadership experience in one or more of the following priority areas:
Public sector system leadership: Current or former senior leaders from local government, the NHS or wider public services, with experience of leading complex organisations through change, reform and uncertainty.
Business model development and commercialisation: Experience of organisational growth, partnerships, income diversification, membership models, commercial strategy or sustainable business development.
Technology and innovation: Expertise in digital transformation, AI, innovation, product development, technology-enabled change or future-focused organisational leadership.
These areas reflect the Board’s agreed strategic priorities as LGIU continues to evolve its model, expand its reach and strengthen its role as a partner for change across the sector.
We would also welcome candidates with expertise in communications and marketing, workforce development, research, membership organisations or international collaboration.
What we are looking for
We are seeking people who:
Care deeply about the future of local government and local democracy
Bring strategic thinking, sound judgement and curiosity
Are comfortable navigating complexity and change
Can contribute constructively to governance and strategic discussions
Understand collaboration, partnership and systems leadership
Are committed to inclusive leadership and diverse perspectives
Previous trustee experience is welcome but not essential.
We are committed to building a Board that reflects the diversity of the communities that local government serves, and we strongly encourage applications from underrepresented groups.
Time commitment
This is a voluntary, unpaid role.
The expected commitment includes:
Four quarterly online Board meetings each year
One annual face-to-face strategy meeting or away day
Reading and preparation time in advance of meetings
Occasional participation in sub-committees or advisory discussions
Why join us?
This is an opportunity to help shape the future direction of one of the sector’s most respected and influential organisations at a critical moment for local government.
You will join a Board committed to helping councils become more resilient, agile, connected and future-ready - and to ensuring local government has the ideas, evidence, partnerships and leadership it needs to meet the challenges ahead.
As a Trustee, you will help strengthen an organisation that works every day to empower local government to think big, act boldly and shape the future with confidence.
How to apply
To express interest, please submit:
A CV
A short supporting statement outlining your interest in the role and the experience you would bring to the Board
Closing date: 26th June 2026
Please also see the advert attached with contact details if you would like to have an informal conversation about the opportunity.
