HelpAge International is seeking to appoint up to six Trustees over the coming year. Trustees play a central role in the governance and strategic leadership of the organisation, ensuring it fulfils its charitable purpose, remains financially sustainable and delivers its mission effectively. Working alongside fellow Board members and the Executive Team, Trustees contribute independent judgement, strategic oversight and constructive challenge. They support organisational performance, oversee risk and sustainability, help guide long-term strategic direction and act as ambassadors for HelpAge’s mission and values within an increasingly complex international environment.
Successful candidates will bring senior leadership, Board, advisory or executive experience, together with sound judgement, integrity and a commitment to effective governance. HelpAge is particularly seeking expertise in finance and audit, fundraising and income generation, governance and UK charity law, and international development and global partnerships. Finance is a priority for this campaign, and the Board would especially welcome a UK-based senior finance leader who understands charity governance and has the potential to succeed the current Treasurer in due course. Applications are also encouraged from people whose professional experience, networks or connections would strengthen the Board’s representation in Europe, Latin America and East Asia.
