Trustee Volunteer

Last year, we helped 31,000 people find a way forward, securing them £14 million in income. Citizens Advice LeicesterShire is a dynamic £1.7m charity with a clear purpose: sharing knowledge to transform lives.

We are now looking for strategic leaders to join our Board of Trustees and steer our future. This is a high-impact role, moving beyond traditional governance to shape our strategy and drive performance. We need your professional expertise to help us pioneer new solutions and ensure our sustainability.

Your experience in one of the following areas will be critical to our success:

Financial planning, risk management, and data ethics (including AI).
HR, people management, organisational design, and wellbeing strategies.
Compelling storytelling, PR, strategic marketing, and professional networking.
Business strategy, project management, and technology.
While professional experience is key, your personal commitment is what truly matters. We are looking for people who share our values – we care, we help, we excel, we challenge – and have a passion for social justice. We believe lived experience is as valuable as professional skill.

The return on your investment:

Apply your leadership skills to a significant social challenge.
Directly influence the strategy of a respected, high-impact local charity.
Collaborate with a dedicated professional board and senior leadership team.
