Founded in 1984, Mental Health Matters (MHM) is a leading UK charity providing life-changing support to individuals experiencing mental health challenges. Our comprehensive services, delivered both face-to-face and digitally, include NHS Talking Therapies, crisis support, employment services, mental health helpline and community based mental health support services. We operate in communities across England, helping 15,000 people each month to overcome adversity and regain independence.
THE ROLE
We are now looking for a new trustee who can bring their skills and experience to support Mental Health Matters to further develop a diverse way of thinking on our Board.
We are open to and would welcome candidates with a broad range of expertise and backgrounds. However, we have a particular interest in someone with a background in the wider workforce area including human resources, equality, diversity and inclusion and organisational development.
To reflect our broad geographical presence, we welcome interest from candidates regardless of current location.
We welcome both experienced Board leaders and those looking to take on their first Charity Trusteeship. Ultimately you will be dynamic in your thinking with a real drive and passion to make a substantial impact to our work!
We are encouraging applications from people with a diverse range of experiences and backgrounds to ensure the Board truly represents the people we serve.
This is wonderful environment where we are collaborative, caring, and ambitious but with a real focus on those who access our services. We take great pride in our work and the Charity, balancing this with a dynamic and innovative approach. If you’d like to bring your skills and expertise to support us, we’d love to hear from you.
