Become a trustee
We are currently recruiting for new Trustees, including a new Chair of Trustees. Please view our Recruitment Pack for more information.
If you are passionate about survivors of sexual trauma having access to our safe spaces and kind, caring and compassionate services that help adult survivors heal, rebuild and thrive, we want to hear from you!
Thank you for your interest in being a Trustee for Survive, please read on for more details about the role and how to apply.
Our trustees play a pivotal role in shaping the future direction of our charity. They make a difference by giving their time and sharing their skills, life experience and expertise with the charity.
The role will provide you with the opportunity to use your current skills and to learn some new ones along the way. You will be working with a team of energetic, committed and caring people who all want to do their best for the people who use our services.
Survive wants to build a diverse team that reflects the communities we serve, and we encourage and welcome all applications, including from those who have themselves been subjected to sexual violence and abuse.
The Board of Trustees currently meets ten times a year and participation is expected at the Annual General Meeting (AGM). We hold the meetings both online and onsite in York.
Regular sub-committee meetings are held for Fundraising and Marketing, Finance, Human Resources, and Client Journey. Attendance at these meetings is up to Trustees.
You do not need to have held a Trustee position previously or have any experience of working with charities as we can provide training on this, and you will receive an induction to working with Survive.
