Clergy Support Trust is the largest and oldest charity helping Anglican clergy and their families.
Founded in 1655 and with assets of over £110m, the charity provides financial grants, services and resources for serving and retired ministers, ordinands, and clergy families.
We are looking to appoint two outstanding new Trustees, to join the Board and the charity at this exciting moment. Specifically, we are eager to hear from candidates with experience of at least one, ideally more, of the following areas:
- Ordained ministry in the Church of England (for example, as a parish priest,
- chaplain, Area Dean, or Archdeacon);
- Communications and digital media (especially within the charity sector);
- Fundraising and supporter engagement;
- Personal experience of the Trust’s grants, services and resources (for example, as
- an applicant, or as a diocesan officer responsible for supporting other ministers);
- Wider knowledge of the Church of England or Anglican Communion.
Increasingly, the Trust also advocates for clergy, as well as acting to support them, which recently contributed to a 10.7% rise in the basic clergy stipend across England. In 2026, we published a new three-year strategy focussed on “going upstream” – understanding better the root causes of challenges facing clergy, supporting those in new ways and offering a broader programme to empower clergy, while focussing our grants on those in the greatest need.
Although the charity’s excellent relationships with the Church of England and other Anglican Provinces are important, the Trust is proudly independent, and offers a confidential service to those seeking its help.
The Board of Trustees – referred to in our Royal Charter as the Court of Assistants - is responsible for setting the charity’s strategy and vision, for overseeing the work of its Chief Executive, and for scrutinising performance. There is an occupational requirement for Trustees to be supportive of the Trust’s Anglican ethos and identity (but not to be practising Anglicans).
The charity’s operations, profile and programme have grown significantly in recent years, and a key element of the Court’s role is to support, challenge and affirm the work of the charity’s executive leadership team. Trustee's main takes and accountabilities include:
- Formulating and reviewing strategic aims
- Monitoring performance
- Legal and regulatory compliance
- Guardians of the charity’s assets
- Promotion of the charity and engagement with stakeholders
We hope for candidates who bring some experience and understanding of the charity sector, as well as a genuine and active passion for the important work which the Trust does. Strong candidates will have an ability to think strategically about the current and future needs of our applicants, and how best to meet those in a challenging and changing climate. They will understand and represent the Nolan Principles of public life, and the legal duties, responsibilities and liabilities of charity trusteeship. The Court takes seriously and wishes to reflect the glorious diversity of God’s Church,
and would particularly welcome applications at this time from women, those who identify as of Global Majority Heritage, and people living with disabilities.
The Court meets four times per year; in-person attendance is expected at those meetings (usually in central London), as well as for an annual twenty-four-hour awayday, normally in February. All Trustees are asked to serve on two of the five sub-committees, which meet four times a year, where online attendance is usual (though in-person attendance welcomed). Trustees are encouraged (but not required) to be present at our annual Festival in St Paul’s Cathedral each May.

STAMMA is the leading charity for people who stammer in the UK. We’re a small, award-winning organisation with big ambitions and a brilliant community, keen to create space and respect for people who stammer.
Stammering has historically been the target for humour and used to suggest inadequacy, leaving many who stammer facing daily ignorance, discrimination and disrespect. This can affect job prospects and mental health, and cause depression and social isolation. It can make booking a GP appointment a nightmare, and prevent people from accessing a service altogether, leaving them feeling humiliated, degraded or disbelieved. We’re here to change that.
We’ve a clear strategy for the next five years to achieve real and practical change for people who stammer by highlighting the inadvertent barriers they face within the workplace and as service users. We want to reach more people who stammer and grow our supporter base, but to do that we need to expand our training and advocacy services, whilst underpinning our helpline and family support.
We want to appoint a new Trustee with significant skills and experience within the charity sector to the Board. You’ll need to share our excitement and ambition for change. It isn’t essential that you stammer. This is an unpaid position, but travel expenses can be covered. Trustee terms are for four years, and you will be expected to attend all Board meetings, up to five times a year, usually on a Saturday, either in-person at different locations across England, or online. There are also sub-committees and informal planning and preparatory discussions, usually held online.
We are looking for someone with experience of one or more of the following:
- Experience of working at a senior level in the voluntary sector, across more than one organisation, with a good understanding of how charities operate and are governed.
- Insight and leadership of people and culture (HR) function and/or service delivery and operations, and a passion for building inclusive, effective organisations
- Previous experience as a trustee or board member. Ideally having chaired a sub committee, board or similar.
- The ability to offer occasional support to the staff team during the working day (roughly two hour per month), providing guidance, insight or a sounding board when helpful
- Lived experience of stammering — whether personally or through close connection — so that the voices of people who stammer are at the heart of our work
Person Specification
- Values-led, with demonstrable passion and commitment to STAMMA and its strategic objectives.
- Proven track record as a senior leader with strategic experience within the charitable sector.
- An understanding and acceptance of the legal duties, responsibilities and liabilities of trusteeship with an ability to balance the boundaries between different leadership roles.
- Strong interpersonal skills (listening, tact and diplomacy) and relationship-building abilities.
- Ability to challenge constructively and ask questions appropriately.
- Team player, who respects and values the views of others and is able to speak their mind with tact and diplomacy.
- A commitment to EDI values and principles, including an understanding of equality, diversity and inclusion.
- Ability to commit the necessary time to the role.
As a Trustee at STAMMA you would be expected to:
- Develop and agree our long-term strategy.
- Ensure compliance with governing documents and regulations.
- Ensure that resources are spent in accordance with our Articles.
- Work with the Board to set goals and assess performance.
- Ensure that the organisation is run efficiently and financially stable.
- Protect the charity’s assets and ensure surplus funds are properly invested.
- Manage the appointment, supervision, support, appraisal and remuneration of the CEO.
- Uphold STAMMA's values.
In your cover letter please set out how your experience fits the post described.
