Job Description

Are you interested in becoming a Trustee with Kidney Care UK?

Kidney Care UK are the UK’s leading kidney patient support charity, providing practical, financial and emotional support for kidney patients and their families across the UK.  With over 100 patients supported every week and around £2.5m invested in our work every year, we are passionately committed to improve life for everyone affected by the disease and actively campaign to improve care services. 

We are looking for talented Trustees to join our committed governing team.  To maintain a good skills balance within the Board we welcome applications from individuals with a range of backgrounds, experience and expertise, but would be particularly interested in hearing from individuals with a background in finance/business and fundraising.

Trustees are expected to attend four Board meetings a year, held alternately in London, or at our office headquarters in Alton, Hampshire, and most Trustees choose to sit on one of our four Committees. The appointment is for an initial term of three years, with an option to serve up to nine years in total. There is no remuneration although expenses may be claimed.

To apply, please submit a copy of your CV and a covering letter outlining why you wish to be a Trustee of Kidney Care UK to Vanessa Gartland, Executive Assistant.

For an initial informal discussion about the role and the likely commitment involved, please contact Paul Bristow, Acting Chief Executive, or Vanessa Gartland.
