Job description

An exciting opportunity to join the board of a growing and highly valued local charity, which supports the wellbeing of the 9000 residents of Park Wood, a deprived community based on the outskirts of Maidstone

Fusion Maidstone is a charity working at the intersection of health inequality and social exclusion. We support communities disproportionately affected by poor health outcomes — including people facing poverty, discrimination, isolation, and barriers to healthcare. Our mission is to challenge inequality, promote wellbeing, and ensure everyone has the opportunity to live a healthy, connected life.

We are seeking new trustees who share our passion for equality, inclusion, and social justice.  As a trustee, you will play a vital role in shaping the strategic direction of our organisation, ensuring strong governance, and supporting our mission.

What We’re Looking For:

You don’t need previous board experience — we’re more interested in your commitment, perspective, and willingness to contribute. We're particularly keen to hear from individuals with experience in areas such as:

  • Public health or community health
  • Mental health or social care
  • Finance, legal, or charity governance
  • Lived experience of health inequality or social exclusion
  • Equality, diversity, and inclusion (EDI)
  • Community organising, activism, or grassroots leadership
  • Communications, fundraising, or digital engagement

We welcome applicants of all backgrounds and are especially keen to include voices that reflect the diverse community we serve.

What’s Involved:

  • Attend around 6 board meetings per year and our AGM
  • Join occasional working groups or provide advice in your area of expertise
  • Champion our values and help guide the strategic direction of the charity

Why Join Us?

  • Influence real, lasting change in health and social outcomes
  • Be part of a values-led team dedicated to inclusion and empowerment
  • Gain or develop experience in leadership and nonprofit governance
Application Instructions

Please send a short expression of interest (and a CV if available) Tell us a bit about who you are, what motivates you, and what you could bring to the role.

If you need this information in a different format or would like support to apply, just get in touch.
