215 Trustee volunteer roles

Could you help us end poverty in the UK? Z2K is recruiting up to four new trustees, and we particularly welcome people with lived experience of poverty, financial hardship, the benefits system or homelessness.

We’re also looking for experience in HR, people and Equity, Diversity and Inclusion; communications and media; fundraising; or access to justice and the law. Skills gained through personal life, volunteering, caring or community work are just as valuable to us as those from paid roles. You don’t need to have been a trustee before – you’ll get a full induction, training and support.

Z2K helps people on low incomes challenge unfair benefit decisions and housing problems, and campaigns to change the rules that keep people in poverty. People with lived experience shape everything we do, and with a new CEO in post, we’re committed to making sure that includes our board.

The role: unpaid, with travel, childcare and other expenses covered. Initial term of 3 years.

Most trustees will commit up to a day a month to the charity. The Board meets four times a year in person with flexibility to join meetings online and also carries out business through two Committees. Trustees hold an annual strategy day and an Annual General Meeting (AGM). Additional commitments may include joining interview panels, representing Z2K and attending events, adjudicating on complaints, disciplinary interventions or disputes and other ad hoc meetings. 

Previous board experience is not required. All trustees will receive a full induction and training. Reasonable expenses will be reimbursed.
