• Share responsibility with fellow Trustees for MEA’s governance, strategy, and financial oversight.
• Provide support, insight and constructive challenge to the CEO and senior leadership team.
• Help ensure the charity continues to deliver on its mission effectively, ethically and sustainably.
• Act as an ambassador for MEA, promoting our work to supporters, partners and the wider public.

This is an exceptional opportunity to use your skills and experience to make a tangible difference to people’s lives.

What we’re looking for

You’ll bring:

• A genuine commitment to our mission and values: Our customers, Our people and Our planet.

• Experience of operating at a senior or strategic level, ideally within a board or governance setting.
• A commitment to the principles of good governance and the Seven Principles of Public Life (selflessness, integrity, objectivity, accountability, openness, honesty and leadership).

Previous trustee experience is welcome but not essential – we value diversity of thought, background and experience.

Time commitment

Three in-person Board meetings per year and three virtual meetings, plus planning/strategy half day in person. Additional engagement between meetings as needed. Trustee positions are unremunerated, with reasonable expenses reimbursed.
