​Freedom from Torture is dedicated to healing and protecting people who have survived torture. We provide therapies to improve physical and mental health, we medically document torture, we provide health assessments and liaise with GPs, and we provide legal and welfare help. We expose torture globally, we fight to hold torturing states to account and we campaign for fairer treatment of torture survivors in the UK.

We campaign for national and global change, using evidence from our services and survivor voices to protect and promote survivors' rights and hold torturing states to account. We are proud to play a significant role in the global anti-torture movement. Survivors, active and empowered, are at the centre of all of our work.​

We are seeking to recruit new Members of the Board to join our committed Board of Trustees. We are looking for candidates with expertise in Clinical Management, preferably with experience of strategic clinical leadership, and/or experience of working with asylum seekers/ survivors of torture.

We are committed to achieving a diverse Board and would be particularly interested to hear from survivors of torture who have experience in one or more of these areas.​

These are volunteer roles appointed for 3 years and renewable for an additional 2 terms. While the roles are unpaid, travel expenses and childcare costs will be reimbursed.​

Freedom from Torture is committed to exemplary safeguarding practice, and we require an enhanced DBS check for these roles.​

We provide a fulsome induction for all new trustees and gladly offer training and capacity-building opportunities on governance and trustee responsibilities, as required.​

Freedom from Torture is strongly committed to diversity, equality and inclusion and we welcome applications to join our Board from individuals regardless of ethnicity, religion/belief, age, any disability, sex, gender reassignment, sexual orientation, pregnancy, marriage and civil partnership or socio-economic background.
