Trustee role

Our Board of Trustees plays a vital role in shaping the future of Brain Tumour Support, providing strategic leadership, strong governance, and collective accountability to help ensure that no one faces a brain tumour diagnosis alone.

We are committed to building a Board that reflects a diverse range of skills, experiences, perspectives, and voices. By bringing together people with different professional backgrounds and lived experiences, we create better conversations, stronger challenges, and more meaningful outcomes for the individuals and families we support.

Our Trustees are not involved in the day-to-day running of the charity. Instead, they provide guidance, support, and constructive challenge to help ensure the organisation remains compassionate, sustainable, ambitious, and impactful.

As we continue to grow and extend our reach, we are looking for Trustees to help fuel and guide our growth. We welcome applications from a range of backgrounds, experience and specialisms. In particular, we would welcome applications from those with:

• Large personal networks or professional contacts; a strong black book of philanthropic and funding opportunities we can explore together to support the growth and future of the charity
• Social work or clinical mental health experience, who can offer guidance, insight and advocacy for the increasing demand on our services of those in mental health crisis
• Clinical Brain tumour experience: Clinicians and health care professionals who can provide vital clinical insights and advocacy within the wider NHS
• Senior-level fundraising or income generation experience, to work alongside our experienced Fundraising Manager to develop voluntary-led income streams

We are always seeking further diversity in our board and welcome applications from all walks of life.
