This is more than a CEO role. It is a rare opportunity to lead a nationally respected charity at the forefront of prevention, safeguarding and systems change. We are looking for a leader who combines strategic vision with operational clarity; who can inspire and support our people and partners; who will strengthen our voice and influence nationally; and who will guide the organisation through opportunity and challenge with confidence, compassion and integrity. You will work alongside a skilled Senior Leadership Team and an engaged Board of Trustees, shaping the future of an organisation whose work transforms lives, supports families and protects children. If you share our values; integrity, collaboration, innovation, ambition and hope and believe you can lead an organisation that plays a unique and essential role within the child protection landscape, we would be delighted to hear from you.

Together for Mental Wellbeing - recruiting trustees Founded in 1879, Together for Mental Wellbeing is the longest-established mental health charity in England. We work to ensure that everyone who experiences mental distress is valued, can live the life they choose and can determine their own future. What we do Together for Mental Wellbeing is a national charity that supports people who experience mental distress to lead fulfilling and independent lives. We work with approximately 4,500 people every month via 70 projects throughout England, but we aspire to reach many more people through our recently refreshed five-year strategy. Our services include: personalised support in the community accommodation based support advocacy services, including in secure hospitals criminal justice services, including in courts and probation services What makes us stand out is that we put people at the centre of their own support - they set their own goals and are in control of how we work alongside them to achieve these. We value people as experts in what works best for them, and draw on their skills and strengths to build resilience and support networks so they can eventually manage without us This means we value people as experts in what works best for them, and each individual we work with influences and shapes the support they and others receive from us. It also means we provide opportunities for people experiencing mental distress to work with Together to draw on their experiences to help us improve the quality and experience of the services that we provide. We are committed to promoting service user leadership wherever possible; this is why we recently launched our Lived Experience Network, a free, members-based community.

The opportunity We wish to add new trustees to our Board and have identified some recruitment priorities: We are seeking at least one individual with lived experience of mental distress who can draw on their unique knowledge and insights as to how mental distress impacts on people's lives, and share their passion and enthusiasm to drive the aspirations of the organisation. Our approach is for the individual to determine whether or not they have lived experience of mental distress. One person's lived experience is no more or less important than another's. We wish to increase the gender diversity of our leadership at Together; we currently have a high proportion of men. Having completed a recent Board skills audit we also encourage applicants with experience of the following areas: Human resources and workforce planning Forensic psychiatry Public sector procurement/contracting Knowledge of health and wellbeing service providers from the Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) sector Digital development and innovation Auditing and risk management Financial management and accounting However, all applications are welcomed and will be considered.

Our Board We have an effective and collaborative Board of enthusiastic, friendly and committed trustees, who lead the development of Together and ensure that the charity exemplifies good practice. The opportunity We wish to add new trustees to our Board and have identified some recruitment priorities: We are seeking at least one individual with lived experience of mental distress who can draw on their unique knowledge and insights as to how mental distress impacts on people's lives, and share their passion and enthusiasm to drive the aspirations of the organisation. Our approach is for the individual to determine whether or not they have lived experience of mental distress. One person's lived experience is no more or less important than another's. We wish to increase the gender diversity of our leadership at Together; we currently have a high proportion of men. Having completed a recent Board skills audit we also encourage applicants with experience of the following areas: Human resources and workforce planning Forensic psychiatry Public sector procurement/contracting Knowledge of health and wellbeing service providers from the Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) sector Digital development and innovation Auditing and risk management Financial management and accounting However, all applications are welcomed and will be considered.
