Swansea Carers Centre are seeking an experienced and inspirational Chair to lead our Board of Trustees and help shape the next phase of our development.
About Swansea Carers Centre
Swansea Carers Centre is a vibrant, welcoming Tier 2 charity supporting unpaid carers across the City & County of Swansea. Every year, over 1,800 carers access our services, and more than 10,500 carers have registered with us since our founding. We provide welfare benefits advice, counselling, respite opportunities, dementia support, young adult carer projects, volunteer‑led initiatives, training, social groups and more. The services are all designed to ensure carers feel valued, connected and empowered.

An unpaid carer is anyone who provides support to a family member, friend or neighbour due to a variety of reasons which could include illness, disability, mental health needs, addiction, or age‑related frailty. Many people do not recognise themselves as carers yet they take on vital responsibilities that can have a profound impact on their wellbeing, finances and daily life. Our vision is a society where carers are recognised, respected and supported as equal partners in care. Our mission is to make a positive difference to carers’ lives by working in partnership with carers, statutory bodies and voluntary organisations.
The Role
The Chair will lead a committed Board of Trustees, ensuring Swansea Carers Centre is well-governed, financially sustainable and forward‑looking.
You will work closely with our CEO and Senior Management Team to embed strong governance practices, support strategic decision‑making, and champion a culture of empowerment across the organisation. This is a pivotal leadership role at a time when carers’ needs are growing, and the charity is strengthening its strategic direction.
We are particularly seeking a Chair who can:

We need volunteers to help us deliver fun, creative and adventurous activities throughout the year.

Running Monday-Friday throughout the year, our breaks give children and young people the chance for time away from the worries of their everyday life, to make friends, try new things, build confidence, and ultimately go home inspired by what the world can offer them and what they, in turn, can offer the world.

Help a young person take their next step after school or college
For many young people, deciding what comes after sixth form or college can feel overwhelming. Whether it's university, apprenticeships, employment, or something else entirely, the choices are significant, and not everyone has someone they can turn to for advice, encouragement and insight.
As a Brightside Connect Mentor, you can help change that.
Brightside is recruiting volunteer online mentors to support 16-19-year-olds from more than 100 schools, sixth forms and colleges across the UK as they explore their future options. We welcome volunteers from all backgrounds and career paths, including university students, apprentices, graduates and working professionals.
Over 12 weeks, you'll build a mentoring relationship with a young person through Brightside's secure online mentoring platform, sharing your experiences, answering questions, and helping them make informed decisions about their future. A key feature of the programme is choice: young people browse mentor profiles and select someone whose experiences resonate with them, helping to create stronger, more meaningful mentoring relationships from the outset.
Whether you're reflecting on your journey through higher education, explaining what it's like to be an apprentice, or sharing lessons from your career so far, your insight can help a young person feel more confident about the opportunities available to them.
The programme offers both asynchronous text-based mentoring and live video calls, giving mentors and mentees the flexibility to connect in ways that work for them while building a meaningful relationship over time. All video calls are recorded in line with Brightside's safeguarding approach, helping to create a safe and trusted environment for everyone involved. Most mentors volunteer for just 1-2 hours a week.
You don't need any previous mentoring experience. We'll provide training, guidance and ongoing support, and we'll complete your DBS check before the programme begins. The programme launches on Monday 21 September, with onboarding, training and DBS checks taking place over the summer.
With 23 years' experience supporting young people through mentoring, Brightside operates the UK's safest online mentoring platform, combining robust safeguarding, moderation and support with meaningful opportunities for young people and volunteers to connect, learn and grow.
By sharing your experiences, you can help a young person broaden their horizons, build confidence, and take their next step with greater clarity and ambition.
Join us and help ensure every young person has access to the guidance, encouragement and role models they need to succeed.
Our mission is to help young people make confident and informed decisions about their future
