Become a trustee

Are you passionate about making a difference and shaping the future of social care? Becoming a trustee at Shared Lives Plus is a unique opportunity to contribute your skills, experience, and fresh ideas to an organisation that’s transforming lives across the UK.

As a trustee, you’ll play a vital role in providing strategic direction, governance, and oversight to our work. You’ll join a diverse and dedicated board that supports Shared Lives Plus in achieving its vision of a kinder, stronger society where everyone can live a full life, regardless of the support they need.

We’re looking for people who are enthusiastic, committed, and ready to take on an exciting challenge. Whether you’re a seasoned professional with expertise in areas like policy, communications, or HR, or you bring lived experience and a fresh perspective to the table, we’d love to hear from you. No prior trustee experience? No problem. We provide training and support to ensure you feel confident in your role.

Being a trustee is a rewarding way to give back while also developing your own skills and networks. It’s a chance to collaborate with inspiring individuals, tackle important issues, and directly contribute to a movement that’s reshaping social care.

Our trustees attend quarterly board meetings (online) and occasional events or away days, with reasonable expenses covered. The time commitment is manageable, and the impact you’ll make is immeasurable.

If you’re ready to help us lead change, grow our impact, and support thousands of Shared Lives carers and schemes across the country, we’d love to hear from you. Together, we can create a brighter future for all.
