Driven by our mission and inspired by the start-up mentality, we operate with agility and pace. In 2021, we launched our ground-breaking iOS and Android app as a space exclusively for the cancer community to connect. Now we’re looking to scale nationwide, and we need your help to do it. Alike is the only non-for-profit organisation providing a large scale, tailored peer support platform across all ages and diagnoses, whether someone’s facing a sleepless night or a lonely weekend.

We would expect you to contribute this set of skills to the board’s shared responsibility: making sound decisions for the charity’s direction.

- Regular board meetings (6 per year, 3 in-person meetings, 3 virtual)
- Additional time for sub-committee work and strategic planning
- Flexible availability for brief ad-hoc advisory calls or meetings
- Attendance at our Annual General Meeting in central London
Skills and Experience:
- An understanding and acceptance of the legal duties and responsibilities of trusteeship
- An understanding of the challenges faced by those living with cancer and the impact of emerging technology in addressing these challenges
- Excellent communication skills and a collaborative working style
- Strategic and critical thinking skills - a problem-solver with a lateral thinking style
- Strong financial literacy
- An understanding of the tenets of employment law and GDPR compliance at scale
We need trustees with a diverse range of skills, experience and knowledge, and would love to hear from people who could bring the following:
- Experience in UK law, ideally in employment law, data protection or intellectual property
