Job description

Join Us as a Trustee and Help Change the Story for Bladder Sufferers!

For over 30 years, Bladder Health UK has stood shoulder to shoulder with people living with bladder illness - offering trusted information, expert guidance, and a compassionate ear. But right now, the need for our work is greater than ever.

Across the UK, bladder sufferers are being left behind. 6% of women in England suffer with Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs). 25% of all antibiotic prescriptions are for UTIs. Waiting times to see a Urologist stretch up to 12 months. Post-COVID, continence clinics have been cut, GP access is harder than ever, and too many people are left feeling dismissed, misdiagnosed, or even medically gaslit.

This is where we step in - and where you could too.

What We Do

We are a lifeline. Every day, we:

  • Respond to emails and calls from people in distress, providing evidence-based guidance that cuts through fear and confusion.
  • Offer practical advice and emotional support grounded in real-world experience - helping sufferers manage symptoms, understand treatment options, and regain a sense of control.
  • Deliver dynamic, expert-led webinars and events that translate cutting-edge medical insight into accessible, empowering information for both sufferers and professionals.
  • Drive research that keeps the patient voice at the heart of innovation - shaping future care through real stories, real data, and real need.
  • Campaign tirelessly for change - working with healthcare providers, policymakers and the NHS to push bladder health up the agenda and improve standards of care.

Why This Matters Now

Bladder illness remains one of the most overlooked areas of healthcare - yet its impact is often life-altering. Pain, exhaustion, mental distress, and isolation are common. And now, troubling trends are emerging.

People are being passed from pharmacy to pharmacy, denied GP appointments, misdiagnosed or ignored. Infections recur. Antibiotic resistance grows. Clinics close. Continence support disappears. Patient choice is eroded. This isn’t just a system under strain - it’s a system leaving people behind.

At Bladder Health UK, we don’t accept that. We support individuals - and we challenge the system. We’re here to advocate, educate, and fight for better. But we can’t do it alone.

The Opportunity

We’re seeking bold, committed individuals to join our Board of Trustees and help drive our next chapter.

This is more than a governance role. It’s a chance to be part of something urgent, ambitious, and deeply needed. You’ll help shape the future of a national charity that punches far above its weight. You’ll bring your skills, insight, and passion to a team determined to make a real, tangible difference.

We welcome applicants from all sectors - private, clinical, public, or voluntary. Whether you’re an experienced trustee or completely new to the role, what matters most is your commitment to our mission.

We’re especially keen to hear from people with experience in:

  • Fundraising (individual giving, trusts and foundations, or community fundraising)
  • Marketing, branding, and communications
  • Campaigning, influencing, or lobbying
  • Medical practice – including GPs, Urologists, Urology Nurses, or Allied Health Professionals

If you can:

· Think strategically and creatively

· Communicate clearly and sensitively in large group discussions

· Use independent judgement to make decisions on behalf of the organisation

· Be committed to our mission, vision and values

· Attend four trustee meetings per year via Teams and our charity AGM in person

· Attend and assist at our annual conference

· Commit to a minimum term of two years
