Job description

Trustee Role

Carers Support is looking for new Trustees to join our Board. We are seeking people with previous board, committee or senior governance experience who want to use their skills to support unpaid carers and strengthen a respected local charity.

About Carers Support 

We are an independent charity supporting thousands of unpaid carers across Bristol and South Gloucestershire. We provide advice, information, emotional support, training, wellbeing services and young carers support. 

About the role 

As a Trustee, you will: 

  • Help set the charity’s strategic direction 
  • Ensure the organisation meets its legal duties 
  • Monitor performance, risks and finances 
  • Bring constructive challenge and independent judgement 
  • Support a positive, inclusive and open board culture 
  • Help ensure the voices and needs of carers guide our work 

You don’t need to be an expert in every topic. We welcome people who can read papers, ask thoughtful questions and contribute confidently as part of a team. 

What we’re looking for 

We are particularly interested in people with board or senior committee experience, and we welcome applicants from all backgrounds. 

We are looking for: 

  • Strategic thinking and good judgement 
  • Understanding of governance or senior decision-making 
  • Confidence contributing to discussions 
  • A commitment to improving the lives of unpaid carers 
  • The time to prepare for and attend meetings 

Time commitment 

  • 4 board meetings per year (2hours each) 
  • Membership of at least one sub-committee (4 meetings per year) 
  • Additional committee meetings, events or development sessions, as required 
  • Most meetings take place early evening, online or in person. 

What you’ll gain 

  • A rewarding role with real social impact 
  • Opportunities to influence strategy and services 
  • A full induction and support from experienced trustees 
  • A friendly and engaged Board
