Trustees
RNID
Term of appointment is three years
Voluntary basis with expenses reimbursed
RNID is the only national charity here to support everyone in the UK who is deaf, has hearing loss or tinnitus, making our community a huge one: currently 1 in 3 adults, or around 18 million people.
THE ROLE
The role of the Board of Trustees is critical to the success of the organisation. We are responsible for the strategic direction of RNID, driving success and asking the right questions to ensure we deliver maximum impact for our communities. We are guardians of a 114-yearold heritage brand, but with a responsibility to focus on the future: making sure we are fit for a digital age, firmly positioned at the forefront of technical innovation and societal change.
We are currently looking for three Trustees and are interested in candidates who bring a range of skills and characteristics to play an effective role on the Board. This includes a strategic finance leader to also be Chair of the Finance and Risk Committee, and more broadly could include technical or technology experience in hearing health and/or research, and lived experience particularly of severe hearing loss.
We are also looking to increase the overall diversity of the board further so that we better reflect the communities we serve and welcome applications from individuals from a range of ethnic backgrounds.
