Trustee at Access Social Care
Access Social Care
We are a dynamic charity dedicated to providing free legal advice to individuals with health and social care needs. As an innovator, we leverage cutting-edge technology to reach underserved communities and tackle health and social care inequalities. Our collaborative spirit drives us to adopt an evidence-based approach, fostering systemic change both locally and nationally.
We are looking for two new Trustees who are passionate about social care and access to justice. We are open to applications from everyone, however, following the forthcoming end of term of a founding trustee, and in line with our current skills review of the Board, we are particularly interested in receiving applications from individuals with experience or knowledge in the following areas:
- Lived experience of drawing on social care or experience of the communities we serve, especially individuals who have experience as ambassadors or campaigners on behalf of these communities
- Individuals with legal expertise or a background in legal practice
We are committed to improving diversity on our Board. We particularly welcome applications from candidates with experience of the communities we serve, including people with direct experience of the social care system, and from marginalised groups, particularly Black, Asian and minority ethnic groups, older and disabled people, and trans and non-binary people.
