Trustees
Drinkaware
London
Voluntary basis with expenses reimbursed
Drinkaware is the UK’s leading alcohol charity. Our mission is to use our expertise to give government, industry, communities and individuals the knowledge and support to make informed decisions about alcohol and how to reduce the harms it can cause. We deliver our work through public facing campaigns and digital services, information and guidance, evidence led advice to governments and industry, independent research, consumer insight and evaluation.
THE ROLE
Our three-year strategy, now live until December 2025, focuses on helping more people drink below the Chief Medical Officer’s low risk drinking guidelines. Many factors influence behaviour, including individual motivation, the wider culture in society as well as government policy. We believe that we have a shared responsibility for the culture of the society we want to live in; our strategy reflects that and is focused on catalysing change at a societal level, creating a future where people can make informed choices about their drinking and if they do drink, do so in a low-risk way.
We are seeking three new Trustees to join the Board and support this transition by strengthening our non-executive team in key areas including corporate affairs, medicine or Public Health and Government Affairs. You can find out more about the specific skills and backgrounds we are looking for in the Person Specification. Whatever your background, you will be a highly effective communicator with exceptional interpersonal and influencing skills and a strategic outlook.
The successful candidates will also bring an intuitive understanding of organisational development and change management and, most importantly, a deep alignment with our mission and values. This is an exceptionally exciting time to join Drinkaware as we’re reshaping our work to be more dynamic and collaborative across a complex landscape. We also want to harness the power of partnership working, behaviour change campaigns, high quality research and insight to help more people drink below the low-risk drinking guidelines.
