Talkback UK is seeking a new Trustee with expertise in education, ideally within a Specialist Post-16 Institution, to join our Board. We are a charity dedicated to enabling people to live fulfilling lives through opportunities in learning, work, health, and community.

As a Trustee, you will bring knowledge and insight from the education sector – whether from schools, colleges, local authorities, or related fields – to help shape our strategy and strengthen our impact. You will play a key role in ensuring our programmes are relevant, ambitious, and responsive to the needs of the people we support.

We are looking for someone who:

• Understands the education landscape, particularly around SEND and lifelong learning.
• Can provide both support and constructive challenge at Board level.
• Shares our commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion
  
  

This is a voluntary role requiring attendance at four Board meetings a year (plus occasional subcommittee sessions). In return, you will join a passionate and supportive Board of Trustees, gain valuable governance experience, and contribute to changing lives for the better.

If you are interested in this voluntary role, please contact People Services on people.services@talkback-uk.com or 01494 434 448 for an application pack or to arrange an informal conversation.
