Thanks for your interest in joining our board, we really appreciate it. Our board are an important part of the success of our charity and you’ll be joining a great team, helping to make a difference for the people we support.

We believe in lasting change through learning, because everybody deserves to thrive. Capella is a charitable company limited by guarantee and has been supporting people for 26 years. We run two charitable services called Sleep Action and Teens+, which provide people with support and education to make a lasting difference and improve lives.

With an ambitious new strategy, this is an exciting time to join the board. We are growing our existing services and developing new services that contribute to our purpose. Do you have the passion and expertise to help us achieve our goals?

We are looking for up to two new trustees to join our established and committed board. You will play an integral role in helping the charity to achieve its strategy while providing guidance, support and constructive challenge. You will help make a lasting difference and improve lives as well as grow personally and professionally.

While we welcome applications from anyone with a passion for what we do, we are particularly keen to receive applications from people with one or more of the following:

• People who do not typically join boards based on their age, life experience, disability, gender, race, religion, or sexual orientation.
• Background in public awareness campaigns or PR
• Fundraising at a community or strategic level
