Genetic Alliance UK is looking for three new trustees as well as a new chair due to existing board members having served the maximum time allowed.

What will you be doing?

Trustees play a key role in leading and supporting the charity. We ask them to:

• Attend four Board meetings each year (at least two meetings are held online, with one or two in-person Board meetings each year usually in central London)
• Attend one in-person Board Strategy Away Day each year (usually following one of the in-person Board meetings)
• Attend the one-hour Annual General Meeting in autumn each year
• Consider joining one of our sub-committees, with up to four online meetings each year.

The roles are voluntary (unpaid). We reimburse reasonable expenses necessary for attending meetings and taking part in Genetic Alliance UK activities.

Most of our trustees are sponsored by our member organisations. If you have a connection with one of the charities in our alliance or the conditions they support, please mention this on your application.

We will provide full induction for successful candidates.

All post-holders will be appointed for a first term of up to three years, with a possible further three years and up to a maximum nine years in exceptional circumstances.
