Join the Board of the Early Education and Childcare Coalition
Are you interested in creating an early education and childcare system that delivers for all? Can you help the Early Education and Childcare Coalition move to the next phase of its development?
We are seeking new non-executive board members to help shape our strategic direction, ensure robust governance, and contribute to the Coalition's collective expertise.
About us
The Early Education and Childcare Coalition is a policy and advocacy partnership working to transform the system for families. We unite the voices of all those with a stake in the future of early education and childcare – children, parents, providers, the early years workforce and the business community. Founded by more than 30 organisations, our members are parent campaign groups, child advocacy organisations, early childhood experts, antipoverty campaigners, provider membership bodies, trade unions and business lobbying groups.
Our vision is of a high-quality, inclusive system of early education and childcare that is accessible to all children, affordable for parents, fairly funded for providers, and offers decent pay and conditions for the workforce. Our mission is to rescue and reform the system by combining urgent policy measures to stabilise the sector with long-term transformation.
About us
The Coalition was co-designed throughout 2022 by more than 30 organisations and launched publicly in 2023. Since then, we have gone from strength to strength, concluding a successful hosting relationship and becoming an independent organisation in the summer of 2025, with a team of eight staff influencing policymaking and connecting families, providers and decision-makers through advocacy, co-production and convening.
Please note that the Coalition is in the process of registering as a charity; therefore, it is expected that board members will transition to become trustees within the next year.
About you
We are looking to grow our new board and strengthen our succession planning. Therefore, board membership could include taking on senior roles within the Board following a familiarisation period and supported development.
We would therefore welcome applications from those who have held board officer roles in the past, including experienced Chairs. We are also particularly interested in applications from people who have experience in one or more of the following areas:
-
Fundraising
-
Policy analysis and research
-
Campaigning/influencing
-
Legal and compliance
-
HR
-
Experience of working on issues related to children and families
-
Experience of working in other coalitions/alliances or movement building
In order to maintain balance and equity across our membership and manage conflicts of interest, applicants should not have a current direct link to the Coalition. For example, we cannot accept applications from individuals who are currently working for a member or supporter organisation.
About the role
Board members will work closely with the Coalition’s Executive Director, staff team and Advisory Group to ensure the success of the organisation to meet its aim to transform early education and childcare in England.

Work with other board members to continue growing the Board, identifying skill gaps, organisational needs and participating in the recruitment and onboarding of new board members.
-
Work with other board members to implement the strategic plan, contributing ideas and proposals.

-
Work with other board members to identify and manage potential risks and opportunities to the company’s operations, finances and reputation.
-
Proactively promote the work of the Coalition through personal and professional networks.
In addition, Board members may be invited to:
-
Represent the Coalition at appropriate meetings and events.
-
Participate in the work of the Coalition as appropriate (e.g. working groups, projects or recruitment panels).
Further information
-
Board members are appointed for a term of three years, and they may be reappointed for a further three-year period.
-
All directors will be members (guarantors) of the company and all members (guarantors) will be directors, with a personal liability of £1 and listed on documents filed at Companies House.

Find out more about the general duties of a company director here.
Time commitment
Board members will be required to attend up to five board meetings per year for approximately two hours each (with up to 4 hours preparation time). These are usually held on Zoom, with one away day in London expected per year with the staff team. Any travel and other related and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses will be reimbursed.
Papers will be shared ahead of time and reading and preparation is expected ahead of each meeting.
Board members may also be asked between meetings to act as signatories, give time to contribute to reports, applications and accounts, and provide advice and guidance to the Executive Director and wider staff team on specific topics and/ or issues.
The predicted time commitment for the Board members is estimated at 2-4 hours per month depending on Board role with one away day.
Remuneration
This is a voluntary, unpaid role with reasonable expenses for in-person meetings paid in advance or reimbursed.
The Coalition’s vision, mission and values:
Our vision is to build a world-class early education and childcare system that supports children, parents and our economy to thrive, rooted in the following principles:
-
High quality provision for all children, especially those who benefit the most
-
Sustainable provision that works for all kinds of working parents and their employers
-
Good pay, terms and conditions for the professionals who deliver it
-
Accessible and affordable options for all parents, in all communities
-
Locally shaped options that respond to local circumstances
Our mission is to drive reform through coordinated advocacy among all stakeholders. Our mission recognises that transforming early education and childcare requires both immediate action and long-term reform. Our experience since launch has taught us valuable lessons about managing urgent needs while building toward systemic change.
Our shared values are:
-
Fairness: as much as we believe in an equitable and fair early education and childcare system, we hold the same to be true in how we work as a Coalition. We do this by ensuring members' interests are represented equally through our internal systems and governance, and by committing to embodying co-production principles in our work.
-
Integrity: we act in the best interests of the Coalition, its members and beneficiaries avoiding alliances or projects which may bring the EECC or its members into disrepute. When faced with difficult decisions, we prioritise the interests of the most disadvantaged child. Integrity is critical to an enduring sense of goodwill and thus the future sustainability and efficacy of the Coalition.
-
Respect: the diversity of our membership is a strength, but we recognise that diversity can lead to different perspectives. Respect for that difference is essential in finding consensus that can be built on to secure change. We do not knowingly undermine each other or other stakeholders publicly or privately.
-
Collaboration: transforming the early education system is a complex task that no single organisation can do alone. We believe that progress lies in partnership and that the best route to reform is through broad-based, powerful alliances with people from a wide variety of backgrounds and perspectives. We don’t believe in collaboration for its own sake. We think partnerships must be smart, strategic, and creative in order to be effective, but as far as possible, they must also be broad-based.
Application and interview process
- Please apply with CV and statement of suitability/cover letter by 6pm on Friday 24th April.
- We will aim to respond to all applicants by Friday 1st May.
- Interviews will take place on 13th May and 22nd May.
Working together for an early education and childcare sector that delivers for our children, for parents, and for the economy.
