You will work closely with the Board of Trustees, the Chief Executive, and the Executive Leadership Team to help shape and champion our transformation journey, ensuring our people, culture, and organisational design enable us to deliver lasting impact for children.

About Us

Save the Children UK believes every child deserves a future. In the UK and around the world, we work every day to give children a healthy start in life, the opportunity to learn, and protection from harm. When crisis strikes, and children are most vulnerable, we are among the first to respond and the last to leave. We ensure children's unique needs are met and their voices are heard. Together with partners, supporters and communities, we deliver lasting results for millions of children — including those hardest to reach.

About the Role

We are seeking an exceptional individual to serve as the lead Trustee on our Board for all things People, Culture, Change and Business Transformation.

Save the Children UK is in the middle of a revised organisational strategy reshaping how we work to drive deeper, lasting outcomes for children. We are undoing internal bureaucracy, reimagining partnerships, clarifying our service offers and flattening our internal layers. We are keen on unlocking Agile as a philosophy to become more autonomous, accountable, and human-centred. Over the coming years, we aim to embed meaningful child participation, raise more flexible funding for local leaders, and champion greater power and resources for communities. And we will develop as an organisation that is lighter, more joyful, and more human-centric to create deeper impact.

As Trustee, you will:

• Provide strategic oversight and governance on People, Culture, and Organisational Effectiveness matters as Chair of the People Committee.
• Champion our transformation agenda, bringing insight and challenge on how to build a more agile, empowered, and joyful organisation.
• Act as a sounding board to the Chief Executive and Executive Team, providing constructive challenge and support on people and culture priorities.
• Ensure alignment between SCUK's transformation goals and our broader strategic ambition to deliver deeper outcomes for children.
• Uphold the highest standards of governance, compliance, safeguarding, and accountability as a member of the Board of Trustees.
• Represent SCUK at key events and act as an ambassador for our values and mission.

About You

We are seeking a Trustee who:

• Is engaged with, and excited by, SCUK's vision, mission and values.
• Is a strategic thinker, with demonstrable and deep expertise in People and Culture matters and organisational management.
• Has a strong track record in successfully designing and delivering strategic and holistic organisational change.
• Has experience leading multi-phased people, culture and effectiveness programmes that have delivered measurable results for the organisation.
• Has deep understanding of, and can champion, Agile and agile ways of working.
• Chairs meetings effectively, with excellent interpersonal and communication skills.
• Will work to guarantee the highest standards of integrity and governance, and help ensure statutory requirements are met.
• Is able and willing to devote the necessary time to the role (see below).
• A demonstrable commitment to championing diversity and inclusion, and a clear understanding of power, privilege, and how this affects everyone, particularly the children and communities with which we work.
• An understanding of, or willingness to learn about, the duties, liabilities and responsibilities of Trustees, and of the difference between governance and management functions; and corporate governance issues, especially those that might affect a large international not-for-profit organisation.

Other highly desirable experience

• A good understanding of child poverty in the UK, and an interest in international affairs.
• Experience with digital innovation and technology-enabled transformation.
• Willingness to build and use networks to make introductions for SCUK, for example to explore best practice in or facilitate fundraising, or advocacy and campaigning.

The knowledge and skills listed above represent “the ideal candidate”. Please do not be deterred from applying if you do not fulfil every highly desirable capability.

We warmly welcome applications from candidates across the UK, particularly from Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, and regions of England outside London. Previous Trustee experience is not required — we welcome first-time Trustees and will provide induction and support.

Additional Information / Terms of Appointment

• This is a voluntary position, with reasonable expenses covered. We want to do what we can to remove barriers for Trustees on low incomes or with little spare. Please let us know during the application process if this could be an issue for you, so that we can explore options together.
• Trustees are required to attend all Board meetings (four Board meetings and one or more Board calls per year), and for this role, quarterly People Committee meetings. You may also be asked to join an additional committee. Trustees may also be asked to participate in Board strategy days, telephone conferences, or travel on behalf of SCUK.
