Arthritis Action is seeking to appoint up to three new Trustees to join our Board.

We are now looking for people to join the Board who have complementary skills to those of the present Trustees and who have the time, vision and enthusiasm to help us make the most of this tremendous opportunity to continue with the development of the Charity. In addition to applicants with professional experience in the NHS or in other musculoskeletal charities, we are keen to hear from people with charity fundraising experience, law, accountancy and experience with IT and cybersecurity. We are especially keen to hear from individuals from underrepresented groups or diverse groups.

Each Trustee must have:

  • a commitment to the organisation and its vision
  • integrity
  • strategic vision
  • good, independent judgement
  • an ability to think creatively 
  • an ability to work effectively as a member of a team and take sound decisions for the good of Arthritis Action, based on an analysis of available information
  • a willingness to speak your mind whilst remaining independent of any influence from another organisation or individual
  • an understanding and acceptance of the legal duties, responsibilities and liabilities of trusteeship.
  • a reasonable level of understanding of legal, financial, audit and other regulatory requirements of a charity.

Time commitment

The basic time commitment for a Trustee is probably around 30 hours per annum. There will, however, be opportunities to devote more time to the Charity if Trustees want to engage in providing more in-depth assistance to the CEO and the management team.

Making an application

If you are ready for this exciting challenge and you have the experience, skills and passion to work with us to achieve our goals, we would be delighted to receive an application from you.

To apply, please send a CV and covering letter to Veronica@arthritisaction.org.uk.
