• A platform to shape opportunities for young people across London.

• A creative, committed team who believe in the mission.

• The satisfaction of knowing your leadership will change lives.

The National Flood Forum (NFF) supports and empowers people and communities at risk of flooding and helps those who flood to recover from the material and emotional trauma that flooding causes.

At the NFF, we give emotional and practical help and creating the right package of support for the long-term.

We particularly welcome applications from women, people from ethnic minority backgrounds, and residents of the North of England, East Anglia, or Wales, who are currently under-represented on our Board.

This is a pivotal governance role for experienced, values-driven Trustees who can provide strategic insight, support strong and effective governance, and act as positive ambassadors for the organisation.

We are particularly interested in candidates with experience in the following areas:

• People and Culture (including candidates interested in Chairing the People and Culture Subcommittee)

• Fundraising
• PR and Communications
• Finance
