  • Strong strategic thinking and analytical skills, with the ability to interpret complex information and contribute to collective decision-making.
  • Confident communicator with the ability to influence, engage stakeholders, and provide constructive challenge.
  • Experience in brand strategy, campaigning, and public outreach.
  • Previous board experience in a charitable, public sector, or commercial organisation-or the ability to step into such a role with confidence.

  • Integrity, objectivity, accountability, openness, and honesty in all interactions.
  • Ability to act as a credible ambassador for RMHC with a wide range of stakeholders.

This is a unique opportunity to contribute your leadership and strategic expertise to a nationally respected charity making a tangible difference to families during some of their most challenging moments.

As a Trustee of RMHC UK, you'll:

  • Shape the future of a mission-driven organisation with national reach and deep community impact.
