What will you be doing?
We are looking to add new voices to our board of trustees. We need people passionate about mental health, and we particularly value those with lived experience, to help us ensure that the voices of service users, carers, and their families are at the heart of care. We would love to hear from people with experience in leadership, diversity and inclusion, information governance, HR, and fundraising.
What are we looking for?
A general volunteer trustee plays a crucial role in the strategic oversight and governance of the charity. They will support the CEO in making decisions about the charity's mission, financial stability, and legal compliance. Experience in strategic planning, fundraising, or legal compliance is highly valuable, though not mandatory. A genuine passion for mental health advocacy and a commitment to the charity's mission are paramount. We would like trustees to have local knowledge of services that fall under the NHS Suffolk and North East Essex Integrated Care Board and Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust footprint.
What difference will you make?
Becoming a trustee with Suffolk User Forum offers a unique opportunity to make a tangible difference in the lives of individuals affected by mental health challenges. You'll play a vital role in shaping the organisation's strategic direction, ensuring sustainability, and upholding its mission to empower service users and promote their voices. By contributing your skills and experience, you'll be part of a dedicated team working to improve mental health services and reduce stigma. Moreover, the role provides personal and professional development opportunities, allowing you to gain valuable experience in governance, leadership, and the voluntary sector.
