Form of workAre you excited by Birthrights’ ambitions to work towards long term, systemic change that empowers women and birthing people? This is an exciting time to join our organisation as we embark on a new 10-year strategy.
Birthrights was founded in 2013 with the understanding that at the heart of the poor experiences and outcomes of maternity care for so many, is a consistent failure to listen to the voices of women and birthing people and a complete disregard for their fundamental human rights. Our work has never been more urgent.
We are looking for people willing to bring energy, enthusiasm and commitment to the role, and who will broaden the diversity of thinking on our board. In particular, we are keen to hear from candidates with specialist skills in the following areas:
Finance, with a view to taking on the role of Treasurer
Fundraising
Legal ideally in the Human Rights field
HR
Campaigning
As a trustee you will work with a dynamic and passionate team of Trustees and Employees who champion the rights of women and birthing people. Come and join our small and caring team of change makers!
Our Board of Trustees meets quarterly, mostly virtually but we like to meet 1-2 times in person either in London or the midlands (as this is nearest to where most are currently based).
We would love for you to apply for this role which you can do by visiting our website and downloading the trustee recruitment pack for the full information about the role, the requirements, the person specification and more. The details of how to apply for the role are also contained within this pack.
If you would like to find out more about Birthrights and becoming a trustee, please register to attend one of our online information sessions:
Tuesday 4 June, 12.30 - 1.30
Wednesday 12 June, 18.30 - 19.30
Deadline for applications:12 noon on Monday 1st July 2024.
Depending on the number of applications received, we may bring the closing date forward. We therefore encourage early applications.
