London, Greater London, United Kingdom FREEDOM FROM TORTURE Full time
About Freedom from Torture
Freedom from Torture is dedicated to the healing and protection of individuals who have endured torture.

We offer therapeutic services aimed at enhancing both physical and mental well-being, document instances of torture medically, conduct health evaluations, and collaborate with general practitioners. Additionally, we provide legal and welfare assistance.


Our organization works to expose torture on a global scale, advocating for accountability from torturing states and campaigning for just treatment of torture survivors within the UK.

We strive for national and international reform, utilizing evidence from our services and the voices of survivors to safeguard and promote their rights while holding torturing states accountable.

Role Overview
We are in search of a new Trustee Board Member to join our dedicated Board of Trustees.

Ideal candidates will possess expertise in Clinical Management, ideally with a background in strategic clinical leadership, and/or experience working with asylum seekers or survivors of torture.

These are volunteer positions appointed for a term of three years, with the possibility of renewal for an additional two terms. Although these roles are unpaid, we will reimburse travel expenses and childcare costs.


Freedom from Torture is committed to maintaining exemplary safeguarding practices, necessitating an enhanced DBS check for these positions.


We provide comprehensive induction for all new trustees and are pleased to offer training and capacity-building opportunities regarding governance and trustee responsibilities as needed.

Diversity and Inclusion
Freedom from Torture is firmly committed to diversity, equality, and inclusion. We welcome applications from individuals of all backgrounds, regardless of ethnicity, religion or belief, age, disability, sex, gender reassignment, sexual orientation, pregnancy, marital status, or socio-economic background.
