Trustee roles
We’re recruiting new trustees to join our Board
If you’re passionate about strengthening governance, shaping strategy, and making a meaningful difference to the lives of dementia carers, we’d love to hear from you. This is an opportunity to use your expertise to support our long-term sustainability, growth, and impact.
Every year in the UK thousands of unpaid carers look after someone with dementia but receive little or no support.
At Dementia Carers Count, we stand for them. We campaign for change and provide practical, emotional and financial support to dementia carers across the UK.
We’re recruiting for three voluntary trustee roles.
All reasonable travel and subsistence expenses will be reimbursed.
What we are looking for:
Strategic Impact and Growth Trustee
We’re seeking a trustee who can help turn our strong foundation into greater visibility and long‑term growth.
You’ll help us evidence our impact, communicate it confidently, and build partnerships and income that expand our reach.
This role supports the Board to ensure our services remain high‑quality, sustainable and clearly understood by the public.
Finance and Investments Trustee
We’re seeking a trustee with strong finance and investment expertise, including charity finance experience.
You’ll help ensure robust financial governance, long‑term sustainability and effective risk management.
Working with the Board and executive team, you’ll oversee budgets, monitor performance and support decisions that strengthen our financial position.
Income Generation Trustee
We’re looking for a trustee with expertise in income generation to support our growth and long‑term sustainability.
You’ll bring strategic insight across areas such as fundraising, corporate partnerships and/or digital income, helping to diversify and strengthen our income streams.
Working alongside the Board and executive team, you’ll contribute to shaping income growth strategy, offering challenge, guidance and insight to help maximise income and build organisational resilience.
