Samaritans

Every life lost to suicide is a tragedy, and Samaritans’ vision is that fewer people die by suicide. That’s why we work tirelessly to reach more people and make suicide prevention a priority. As the UK and Ireland begin to emerge from an extraordinarily challenging period, with many facing hardship, never has it been more important for Samaritans’ work. We are looking for a Trustee who will bring exceptional skills and experience, combined with shared values.

Approaching the development of our new strategy, we are seeking Trustees to lead us through implementing key priorities, enhancing diversity and inclusion at Samaritans, building on our influential voice across the UK and Ireland and expanding our service to be there for more callers.

As the Honorary Treasurer, you will play a critical role and provide governance oversight on strategic financial matters, providing assurance to the Board of Trustees at regular intervals about the financial health of the organisation. You will bring an understanding of leadership in a complex organisation, and ideally experience of charity finance, fundraising and investment.

As a Trustee, you will play a key role in shaping the means of achieving our vision and will promote and develop Samaritans, ensuring we remain accessible, relevant, available, sustainable and consistently driven to delivering our mission.

Samaritans is wholly committed to equal opportunities for all and we actively and warmly encourage applications from a broad range of backgrounds and experiences.
