Philanthropy Trustee & Independent Committee Members

To support the Trust’s strategy, and to achieve our ambitions to do more we are looking to strengthen our board expertise to advise on philanthropy and major donor engagement to help our long-term sustainability and achieve impact at a pivotal point in our growth.

We are also looking to strengthen scrutiny and independent challenge in our committees. These are focused on Finance, Audit and Operations and on Programmes, Impact and Influencing.

For each of these roles, you will:

  • Provide strategic insight, scrutiny and constructive challenge
  • Contribute confidently and collaboratively to Board and/or committee discussions
  • Help ensure strong governance, accountability and sound decision-making
  • Bring your professional knowledge while remaining open to different perspectives
  • Keep the experiences and interests of the communities People’s Health Trust supports at the heart of decisions
  • Act in support of the Trust’s mission, values and long-term impact.

We are committed to equity, diversity and inclusion and want our governance to reflect the communities it serves and bring together a wide range of skills, experiences and perspectives.
