We currently have a vacancy on our 12-member Board of Trustees.
What we are looking for
We are looking for notably exceptional candidates, ideally from Wales, with the commitment, experience and networks to promote the vital work of Diabetes UK with key individual and institutions. You will bring a background of distinction from your current areas of activity and have a demonstrable personal interest in diabetes.
We aim to have trustees from across the UK, and we are keen to increase our board representation from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) groups.
Impact on lives of people with diabetes
We welcome applicants who are enthusiastic about Diabetes UK’s work, who think strategically and who can contribute to the development and oversight of the charity as part of a team. Through your work, and with your personal knowledge and experience, you will be able to contribute to the charity’s impact on the lives of people with diabetes.
As a Trustee you are asked to attend six board meetings a year (usually held in London), plus an annual Away Day. This is a voluntary role but reasonable travel expenses will be reimbursed.
