Trustee Recruitment - Mind in Greater Manchester

Could you be part of Mind in Greater Manchester’s ambitious future and help us to support more people with mental health problems?

We are looking for highly motivated individuals to become trustees on all five of our Boards. Trustees are our most senior leaders. They set our strategic direction, make sure we are using our resources effectively and ensure we are having the greatest possible impact on our community. Trustees are expected to undertake duties in a manner that reflects each organisations values and ethos; and which is open, non-oppressive, respectful, led by lived experience and committed to diversity.

We are looking for dedicated, empathetic and ambitious candidates to help make our mission a reality and lead us closer towards our ultimate ambition: a society where everyone experiencing a mental health problem gets both support and respect.

As a trustee you will, as part of an active board:

think strategically and creatively
lead the organisation towards fully achieving its ambition
scrutinise the impact we are having and provide challenge where appropriate
communicate clearly and sensitively in group discussions
use independent judgement to contribute to decisions on behalf of the organisation
be committed to our values

Diversity is critical for a board to be effective; enabling varied discussions, active debate and decision making, so that together we can have the greatest impact. We encourage applications from people with lived experience of mental health problems and from all ethnic, socio-economic, religious and professional and personal backgrounds. Whether you are an experienced trustee or taking your first steps into governance, if you have the commitment, values and skills, we want to hear from you.
