Age International Chair

London, UK, United Kingdom Age International Full time

We are only able to consider candidates based in the UK for this opportunity.

Could you be our Chair of Age International and a Trustee of Age UK?

This unique dual role offers the opportunity to lead both Age International and Age UK in improving the lives of older people around the world, as they work together to achieve our shared vision of a world where every older person is included and valued.

Age International is a charity which responds to the needs, and promotes the rights, of older people, focused on those facing challenging situations in low and middle-income countries. Striving for a world where older people are respected and valued, their voices are heard, their contributions are recognised, their needs are met, and their human rights are realised.

Age UK is the country's leading charity dedicated to helping everyone make the most of later life. Ageing is not an illness, but it can be challenging. At Age UK, we provide services and support at a national and local level to inspire, enable and support older people. We stand up and speak for all those who have reached later life, and also protect the long-term interests of future generations.

Age International and Age UK are leading organisations focussed on older people.

In a rapidly aging world, where the over 55s make up the fastest growing group in society, our shared work on improving attitudes towards older people and their rights is more important than ever. We focus on enabling older people to access health and social care, and a sufficient income for a dignified life, in the UK and across international emergency and long-term development contexts.

We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds who meet the essential criteria and are passionate about our cause. This could be shown through working, or volunteering, in the international development sector or through involvement in advocating for older people’s rights.

Age International has a Board of nine Trustees, who bring a range of relevant skills and experience, including a Vice Chair and Trustees who lead on specialist areas such as Safeguarding. Age UK has a Board of thirteen Trustees, committed professionals with skills spanning advocacy, social care, health policy, fundraising, change management, finance, housing, brand and marketing, international development, digital transformation, strategy and business management.
