We are currently looking for TRUSTEES of all backgrounds who have a passion for helping to make a positive difference to the lives of adults who have been in care.

Who we are

The Rees Foundation is a national charity based in Worcestershire that seeks to support adults who have, at some stage in their lives, been in foster care or residential care. Our focus is on the reality of many people’s transitions from being in care and moving into adult life, and the ongoing impact that care experience can have on a person's ability to reach their full potential.

Rees is resolute that care shouldn’t stop at 18, 21, or 25 years, it’s lifelong, and someone should be there to care. We listen, offer practical and emotional help, and we develop projects that really make a positive difference.

The role

The role of a Trustee is to ensure that the charity fulfils its duty to its beneficiaries and delivers on its vision, mission and values. The Board of Trustees are jointly and individually responsible for the overall governance and strategic direction of the charity, its financial health, the probity of its activities, and developing the organisation’s aims, objectives and goals in accordance with the governing document, legal and regulatory guidelines.

Our Board currently comprises members with a variety of skills in social care, strategic planning, finance and business.

As we have recently extended our registration to operate in Scotland, we are particularly keen to strengthen Scottish representation on our Board. We would welcome applications from individuals who have:

• Experience or professional understanding of the Scottish charity governance framework and OSCR regulations.
• Knowledge of the Scottish care system, including transitions, aftercare, or leaving-care support in a Scottish context.
• Connections to communities or organisations across Scotland that can help us better serve care-experienced adults in the region.

We would especially welcome applications from people who have professional knowledge and/or experience in the following areas:

• Finance (management accounting)
• Digital systems
• Fundraising
• Lived experience of being in care

We are also keen to increase diversity within the Board. We particularly welcome those from an ethnic minority background, the LGBTIQA+ community, people with disabilities, and younger people, as these are currently under-represented on our Board.

We’re looking for a Trustee with experience of devolved political, health, and/or social care systems in Scotland to join the MS Society Board.

If you live or work predominantly in Scotland, and you’re interested in using your insight to help shape our work, then we’d love to hear from you.

About the MS Society

We’re the UK’s leading MS charity. We provide hope, voice and support for everyone affected by MS.

Our vision is a world free from MS. That means fewer people developing MS. And everyone with MS having the effective treatments and support they need to live well.

About this role

Trustees set our strategy and review our progress against it. They agree our annual plans, budget, and performance targets. They oversee how we manage our finances and risk.

Trustees are chosen for their skills and diversity of lived experience. This ensures that our Board has a wide range of expertise to effectively scrutinise and challenge our work. And being led by a Board that understands MS is fundamental to how we work. Most of our Trustees have a personal connection to MS, either because they have MS or someone they care about does.

We know that where a person affected by MS lives can make a difference to the quality and availability of services that they have access to. And our Board of Trustees knows that the decisions they make about our work need to reflect these differences.

We’re specifically looking to recruit a Trustee with current or recent experience of devolved political, health, and/or social care systems in Scotland. You may have gained this knowledge through paid work, volunteering, studying, or your own lived experience.

As a Trustee of the MS Society, you will be appointed to serve a three-year term. You may be reappointed for two further terms, up to a maximum of nine years, based on your performance in the role. This role is voluntary and is unpaid.

Time commitment

Becoming a Trustee is a significant commitment. You need to be sure you have the time, energy and dedication it will take to be an active and effective member of our Board.

This includes attending four Board meetings and a Strategy Day during the year. Most Trustees also join one of the Board’s committees, which also meet four times per year. Our Board meetings and Strategy Day are full-day, in-person events that take place in London, and most committee meetings take place online.

We don’t want finances to be a barrier to anyone thinking of applying to join our Board. We’ll book your travel and accommodation to attend meetings and reimburse other out-of-pocket expenses.
