What will you be doing?

What Makes CFAB Special
CFAB is the only charity in the UK with a specially qualified children's international social work team. We use expertise gathered over 70 years to ensure that vulnerable children are cared for and protected, no matter where they come from. We operate through our International Social Service network to professionally evaluate care options in more than 120 countries – giving children with family overseas the best possible chance of a secure, stable and loving home – and wherever possible reuniting them with family members.

CFAB runs the UK's only professional, free Advice Line dedicated to international child protection, and provides specialist consultancy to help resolve complex international cases. CFAB also provides training to disseminate learning on how best to manage inter-country social work cases involving children and families. We also advocate for legislation and best practice to meet children's needs and to ensure families separated by international borders are supported to reunite when this is in the child's best interests.

Who We Are Looking For
If you have an interest in child protection or children's rights, as well as a background in public affairs or stakeholder management, we'd love to hear from you. This is a chance to be a trustee for a well-known charity that is making a real difference in children's lives. You'll be joining a dedicated and friendly group of trustees with a diverse range of skills and backgrounds. The board recently agreed on an ambitious new strategy that emphasises the enhancement of CFAB's public profile. We are looking for trustees who can help us deliver on that, through their expertise and enthusiasm.

We welcome applications from those who are experience trustees as well as those who do not have previous experience as a trustee, but who have relevant personal experience and are willing to show a commitment to CFAB and our mission.

To make an application, please submit your CV and a cover letter outlining how you meet the Person Specification requirements. We will be holding interviews on a rolling basis, with a view to appointing someone by October 2025.
