Trustees

Could you volunteer to join our Board of Trustees and help to put parents first?

Parents 1st UK is the only charity in the UK specialising entirely in peer-to-peer support during pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood. 

We would like to expand our Board of Trustees and it is an exciting time to join us as we also welcome our new CEO. We are currently shaping our new 5-year plan to deliver even greater impact to the people and families we support, which you will have a key role in shaping and influencing.

We are interested in hearing from candidates with a background or knowledge in fundraising, finance, strategy, research and programme development. We are also seeking a new Chair. You need to have compassion, empathy and sensitivity to the experiences of the people we support, as well as a willingness and openness to understand the complexity of their circumstances. You can read more about our current vacancies on pages 3 - 12 of our recruitment pack.

Trustees lead the development of our charity. Their skills alongside values and behaviours that mirror those of Parents 1st UK are of paramount importance. This is a truly unique charity, with people who are passionate about what they do. If you believe you have the experience and qualities we’re looking for, then we would love to hear from you.
