Volunteer Trustees for health and social care charity

What will you be doing?

The Dipex Charity helps millions of individuals and professionals learn about the experience of health and social care. Through our websites healthtalk.org and socialcaretalk.org we publish people’s real stories, as collected by academic researchers. We cover more than 100 different health and social care issues and help people feel less alone and better prepared for what they’re going through. Our resources are also used as teaching resources all over the world and in training professionals working in health, social care and the public sector. You will be joining the charity at an exciting time that sees us expanding our ways of working and developing new revenue streams. We are currently seeking new people to join our trustee board in advance of other board members' terms of office coming to an end. As a Trustee you will provide guidance, expertise and support to the management team and help ensure that the charity continues meeting its charitable aims. There will be opportunities to get involved in discrete projects and you may be asked to provide ad hoc advice or input based on your skillset and experience.
