Oxfordshire Mind is recruiting new Trustees - people whose life experiences and/or work experiences provide expertise to support our organisation in promoting good mental health through the provision of high-quality services and campaigning for positive change.
Trustees play a vital role as board members, ensuring our organisation has solid plans in progress to achieve our aims and that our funding is being used appropriately to do this.
Trustee positions are open to people of any age, background, or identity whose experiences connect with one or more of the following areas:
* Lived experience of mental health issues facing children and young people
* Lived experience of mental health issues facing adults
* Experience in finance and/or accountancy
* Experience connected with fundraising
* Experience in NHS or local mental health commissioning
* Experience in [charity] law and regulations
We are learning and growing, and we are committed to becoming an inclusive, anti-discriminatory organisation for the people we currently serve, the people who we have yet to serve, and for our staff and volunteers.
We recognise that not everyone will have had access to the same opportunities for numerous reasons and we are committed to acknowledging this in our recruitment processes.
Whatever your lived experience, your application is welcome.
Your voice is important. We look forward to hearing from you.
