We need two new trustees… could you make your skills really count?

We are a vibrant independent charity helping people in Bristol, South Gloucestershire and surrounding areas to rebuild their lives after stroke. We provide information, practical support, friendship and counselling in the months and years following a stroke.

We are currently looking to appoint two new trustees with the skills, perspectives, and lived experiences, to join our Board to help us shape our charity’s future.

The specific professional backgrounds that could really be helpful are IT and finance.

This is an exciting time to be involved in the charity. We recently agreed a significant new contract which will see our team grow and reach into the stroke community, so we are looking for someone who is engaged with the cause, energetic and passionate. 

You will be able to think strategically and practically about the challenges and opportunities the organisation may face, whilst also providing leadership, scrutiny and support.

We are particularly interested to hear from candidates from under-represented groups which would include Asian, Black, and other ethnic minority communities. This is particularly relevant because these groups over-index in Stroke occurrence. 

We also look for more participation from disabled people and young people.

Previous Board experience is not necessary, but an understanding of, or a willingness to train in, the principles of good governance in the charity sector is essential.
