About Care4Calais
Care4Calais is a volunteer-powered charity supporting refugees in northern France and the UK. We work alongside people seeking safety to provide daily essentials, fill the gaps state support leaves, and open up access to justice. We also press the public and policymakers to act. Our vision is an inclusive society where people seeking safety have a safe home and a bright future free from inequality.
In northern France we operate year-round from Calais, providing warm clothing, shelter, services and assistance to people living in dangerous conditions. In the UK, our Field Operations teams distribute clothes and essentials, run language lessons, sports and music workshops, and connect people to medical, educational and specialist services; our Legal Access teams secure legal representation and make sure people are informed and empowered throughout their asylum claim.
Our work is informed by an Advisory Board of people with lived experience of seeking safety, who provide strategic input and feedback.
About the role
We're appointing more Trustees with lived experience of seeking asylum. You'll join as we begin a strategic review that will shape our priorities for the coming years - so your insight will help decide where a charity working on the front line of the hostile environment puts its energy next, and make sure those decisions reflect the realities and aspirations of the people we exist to serve.
As a member of the Board, you’ll be working to set Care4Calais' strategic direction, hold us to our governing documents and legal duties, and support and challenge the leadership team so the charity can grow and thrive.
You don't need previous governance experience. We will support you and give you what you need to do the role well.
What Trustees do
Purpose and compliance
Ensure Care4Calais complies with its governing document, charity law and other applicable regulation
Ensure we pursue our charitable objects, and that all activities and resources advance that purpose
Contribute to regular reviews of our own governance
Strategy and direction
Shape and review strategy, and advise on our purpose, vision, goals and activities
Review what we're achieving and how effective our activities are
Stay alert to changes in our operating environment and ensure our purpose and activities remain relevant
Risk, finance and oversight
Ensure key and emerging risks are identified, monitored and mitigated
Oversee financial plans and budgets, monitor progress, and review and approve financial statements
Ensure robust processes for handling money and accurate record keeping
Ensure income generation is on target, lawful, and doesn't expose us to undue risk
Ensure the effective and efficient administration of the organisation
Judgement and stewardship
Use your own judgement to make decisions that are honest, lawful and in Care4Calais' best interests
Avoid conflicts of interest or loyalty where you can; declare and record those you can't
Support and challenge the leadership team in exercising their delegated authority
Promote our aims and reputation through your skills, knowledge and contacts
Attend Board meetings prepared to contribute
Who we're looking for
Lived experience of seeking asylum
Willingness to understand and accept a trustee's legal duties, responsibilities and liabilities, and to act in the charity's best interests
Strong commitment to our cause, values and strategic objectives
A strategic, critical thinker who is comfortable asking questions, challenging assumptions and sharing views with respect and confidence
Ability to work as part of a team, understanding that trusteeship is collective
The time to do the role well - attending meetings and taking an active part in discussion
Support you'll get: structured onboarding, a buddy from the Board, and external mentoring through the Experts by Experience Employment Network.
Terms of service
The role is voluntary, with reasonable expenses reimbursed. Trustees are appointed for a 3 year term which is renewable. We expect trustees to attend all scheduled Board meetings, with reasonable allowances for extenuating circumstances.
As a small charity, there will be times we need you beyond Board meetings — scrutinising papers, advising on new initiatives, or lending expertise on a particular issue. Trustees are encouraged to visit our operations in the UK and northern France.
All appointments are subject to the standard requirement that candidates are not disqualified from acting as a charity trustee under the Charities Act; you'll be asked for the relevant declarations.
How to apply
Send a CV and a letter of interest (1–2 pages) setting out why you want the role and how you meet the person specification.
Skills and insight come from a wide range of life experiences, not only paid work - tell us about any experiences, learnings or perspectives you think would help you thrive here.
You will never be asked to describe your lived experience at any stage of this process unless you choose to.
Want an informal chat first? Contact Wilf Sullivan, Chair of the Board wilf [@] care4calais .org
Shortlisted candidates will be interviewed online after the closing date.
We can help with digital access or a quiet space for interviews. Tell us about any reasonable adjustments you need and we'll arrange them.
Equality and safeguarding
Care4Calais is an equal opportunities employer and an anti-racist organisation. We actively encourage applications from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic communities, people from refugee and migrant backgrounds, LGBTQ+ individuals, disabled candidates, and those with lived experience of the immigration system.
We are a proud member of the Experts by Experience Employment Network (EBE), which works towards a charitable sector led by people with lived experience of the asylum system. We've moved away from one-size-fits-all recruitment to make our process fair, supportive and accessible. Applicants are welcome to use the guidance at ebeemployment .com and to contact the EBE support team for help with your application and, where available, one-to-one interview preparation.
We are committed to safeguarding. Our selection process includes rigorous background checks and assessments to ensure post holders demonstrate attitudes and values aligned with a culture that promotes safeguarding.
Volunteer-run charity supporting refugees in the UK, and France. We believe everyone deserves a safe home.

HELP US LAUNCH MINDSET — AND CHANGE MEN & BOYS’ LIVES IN LONDON
We’re ideally seeking Trustees based in London, but we welcome passionate volunteers from across England who can join meetings virtually and help steer the future of a charity with huge potential.
We’re MINDSET Charity, a bold new start‑up in London on a mission to equip and empower men and boys with the tools they need for better mental health, stronger resilience and long‑term personal growth.
We’re building a stigma‑free movement — a space where men and boys can learn real, practical, non‑clinical skills that help them build better habits, better mindsets and better lives. From 1:1 Life Coaching, to 6‑ and 12‑week self‑improvement programmes, to school workshops for teenage boys, we’re creating something powerful.
And right now, we’re getting ready to launch — and we need Trustees who can help shape our direction, strengthen our governance and guide us as we build a charity that will transform lives across London.
YOUR IMPACT WILL BE HUGE
Joining MINDSET as a Trustee at this early stage means you’re not stepping into a traditional board role — you’re becoming part of the founding leadership of a charity with ambition, energy and purpose.
Your decisions will directly influence:
how quickly we can register as a charity;
how strong and safe our governance becomes;
how effective and impactful our programmes are;
how we grow, scale and innovate;
how we support men and boys across London for years to come.
This is your chance to help build a charity from the ground up — shaping its culture, its strategy and its future.
THE ROLE: TRUSTEE (VOLUNTEER)
As a Trustee, you’ll help guide MINDSET’s vision, ensure we operate safely and responsibly, and support our start‑up charity as it builds momentum towards launch.
You’ll work closely with the Founder and Leadership Team, offering insight, oversight and support as we develop programmes, strengthen operations and build our organisational infrastructure.
This role is perfect for someone who wants to use their experience, judgement and passion to help shape a charity with real purpose.
WHAT YOU’LL HELP US BUILD
1. Governance & Strategy
Helping shape our early strategy and direction.
Ensuring strong governance and responsible decision‑making.
Supporting charity registration and compliance.
Helping us build a safe, ethical and effective organisation.
2. Oversight & Accountability
Reviewing policies, procedures and safeguarding measures.
Ensuring we meet legal and regulatory requirements.
Supporting risk management and organisational stability.
Helping us build systems that future teams can rely on.
3. Start‑Up Leadership
Bringing insight, ideas and energy to a fast‑moving charity.
Supporting the Founder and Leadership Team.
Helping us build momentum towards launch.
Championing our mission to improve men and boys’ mental health.
WE’RE NOT JUST LOOKING FOR ANYONE
We’re especially interested in people who:
want to help build a new charity from scratch;
bring strategic thinking, clarity and good judgement;
understand governance, safeguarding or charity operations (or are keen to learn);
can offer calm, steady leadership in a start‑up environment;
care deeply about men’s mental health, wellbeing and personal growth;
want to be part of a movement that will change lives.
If you’re someone who loves shaping vision, strengthening governance and building strong foundations — this is your moment.

ENGINEERS/MAKERS
Across the UK, our 60+ local branches help disabled people live the lives they choose. Our network of skilled volunteers respond to thousands of requests each year to design and make customised equipment free of charge.
Our Engineer/Maker volunteers are at the very heart of what our local branches do. They use their practical skills and creativity to help people with disabilities live fuller and more independent lives.
What the role involves
This is a varied role where local need shapes what you’ll be working on, but it often includes:
• Designing and making pieces of equipment for individuals with specific needs
• Using your practical skills working with metal, wood, plastic, or electronics (or a combination of them)
• Attending a monthly meeting of the local branch.
We can support you to develop the skills you need for this role, and there’s an induction that covers all the areas above. You’ll also have chance to discuss your role and any additional needs with us.

Time commitment
This varies quite a lot depending on which cases come in, how complex they are and whether they fit your skills and experience, but it’s essentially a flexible role and there are no set hours.
Why volunteer
When you volunteer with us, you join a community of committed people with a passion for helping to improve the lives of others. We’re a volunteer led organisation and we couldn’t do what we do without your hard work, skills and commitment.
N.B. We’ll reimburse any out-of-pocket expenses during your time with us.
