Do you want to help improve healthcare for older people?
The British Geriatrics Society is seeking to appoint a new lay Trustee
The British Geriatrics Society is the professional membership organisation for doctors, nurses and other healthcare specialists working to provide healthcare for older people across the UK. We have more than 5,600 multidisciplinary members working in acute, primary and community care, united by a mission to improve the healthcare of older people. We are a registered charity and limited company based in Farringdon in Central London, with members in Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and England.
The population is ageing. More people are living for longer, often with long-term conditions such as frailty or dementia. Older people are the population group who use the health service the most. Although there is a strong evidence base for what good care of older people should be, this is not being delivered everywhere, and too many older people find themselves at the mercy of a NHS system that does not work well for their needs. The BGS has a proud 80-year history of supporting the specialist workforce in older people’s healthcare. We are needed more than ever now, to ensure that services for older people across the UK are integrated, joined-up and effective. Why not see for yourself by joining our Board as a lay trustee? Help us to deliver our goal of improving the availability and quality of care for all older people across the UK.
The role
We are seeking to appoint a new lay trustee to succeed one of our two lay trustees who completes his term of office in July 2026. The BGS Trustee Board has twelve charity trustees, ten of whom are healthcare professionals, who lead different aspects of the BGS’s work. The Board is chaired by the BGS President, Professor Jugdeep Dhesi. In addition to the trustees, other senior officers, such as the Vice-Presidents, contribute to Board meetings. The BGS has a staff team of 16 who are paid, but all other roles are undertaken on a voluntary basis.
Trustees perform the following functions:
- Contributing to the strategic direction of the British Geriatrics Society (BGS), setting overall policy, defining goals, and setting targets and evaluating performance
- Providing governance to ensure compliance with charity law and good practice
- Scrutinising board papers, contributing to discussions, providing advice and guidance on new initiatives
- Supporting, constructively challenging, and motivating the Chief Executive and other senior staff
- Acting as a BGS ambassador, to promote the Society, the specialty and older people’s healthcare.
- Safeguarding the charity’s assets, including its financial sustainability
- Working in a collegiate way with fellow Board members to support the Chair and to provide timely, robust decision-making and leadership.
The person
The incoming lay trustee will:
- Be committed to the BGS mission of improving the healthcare of older people
- Have a good understanding of charities and charity governance, most likely through prior experience of being a trustee
- Have the ability to be strategic and collegiate
- Have some commercial experience to help the BGS in its goal of earning more income
- Have professional experience from one or more of the following areas: health or social care commissioning; charity senior management or trusteeship; policy influencing; digital strategy; business.
The BGS supports equality, diversity and inclusion. We value the independent perspective that lay trustees bring to this voluntary role.
The new lay member of the Trustee Board will join the BGS in time for the Board awayday in London on 30 July 2026. Their term of office will be two years, with the potential for a second term of two years.
Our trustees are unpaid, but we pay travel and other out of pocket expenses. We provide an induction to the BGS’s work. There are four Board meetings a year, with at least one held online. The in-person meeting in July includes a Board workshop.
Interviews for shortlisted candidates will be held online on 8/9 April

Impact: Be the first point of contact for women in need and the catalyst for doubling our service capacity.
What will you be doing?
Founded in 2013, Release Therapy for Women has supported the mental health of thousands of women. We are looking for a skilled Volunteer Counselling Assessor.
As an Assessor, you are the gateway to our service. You won’t hold a long-term caseload; instead, you will conduct 30-minute initial consultations to help women feel heard, assess their clinical needs, and match them with the most suitable counsellor.
Key Responsibilities:
Deliver 5 initial assessment sessions per week via our online system, Cliniko.
Conduct clinical risk assessments (safeguarding, suicide, self-harm) to ensure the service is a safe fit for the client.
Identify the client's ability to contribute to our sliding scale (£25/£40/£60) to help sustain the charity.
Provide brief, clear hand-over notes to the assigned counsellor to ensure a seamless start to therapy.
What are we looking for?
We are looking for a qualified therapist who enjoys the "first contact" phase of therapy and has a keen eye for clinical matching.
Qualifications: Qualified counsellor/CBT therapist (Minimum Level 4) and registered with BACP, UKCP, BABCP, BPS, or HCPC.
Clinical Skills: Strong experience in risk assessment and triaging complex presentations.
Gender Requirement: This post is only open to female applicants as being female is deemed to be a genuine occupational requirement under Schedule 9, Paragraph 1 of the Equality Act 2010.
Tech Savvy: Comfortable using Cliniko or similar practice management software for remote working.
Values: A commitment to empowering women and reducing isolation through ethical, accessible therapy.
What difference will you make?
By taking on this role, you solve our biggest bottleneck. Your 3–4 hours a week will allow us to move 20 women a month off our waiting list and into active therapy. You aren't just assessing; you are the bridge that connects a woman in crisis to the long-term support she needs.
What’s in it for you?
Specialist Experience: Develop your skills in clinical assessment and triage.
Flexibility: A small, consistent time commitment that fits around your private practice or other work.
Support: Access to our optional peer supervision group and quarterly team catch-ups.

Our Side by Side care leavers programme aims to reduce feelings of isolation and loneliness for care leavers and to bridge the gap between leaving care and finding their own way in the world by embarking on their journey ‘side by side’ with them when they need it.
Every child taken into care and every young person who leaves it should expect the very best care alongside the support and love they need to thrive.
Sadly, far too many young care leavers are thrust into the adult world before they are ready, facing a life without the support of family and friends that so many of us take for granted.
Young people tell us they are missing the skills and trusted people they need to help them navigate this new chapter in their lives. While some lack a positive adult role model, others are struggling to access education, employment, health services and maintain financial security.
Most just need someone to talk to; someone they can trust.
The impact of care experience does not end at 18, 21 or even 25. It is a continuous lifetime experience that can have lasting effects. Young people are at risk of falling into debt, becoming mentally or physically ill, vulnerable to exploitation and discriminated against as they leave care.
What they need is a bit of extra support to help.
How can you help?
Come and join us in volunteering to support a care leaver.
You do not need any specific skills or experience, just enthusiasm and a willingness to support a care leaver with their practical and emotional needs.
We just ask that you commit to the programme for a minimum of 12 months.
You will receive all the support and training you need to make the most of your role, including:
-
Support from your line manager
-
Access to a range of training opportunities
-
Reimbursement of all reasonable expenses
-
An interview and selection process including an enhanced DBS check, references and a digital risk assessment are required for this role.
At NYAS, we listen to what children, young people and vulnerable adults want. We empower them to have their voices heard.
