Trustee

Healthwatch Kirklees are looking for new trustees to join our Board! 

We are looking to recruit exceptional people to become trustees of our charity. 

Making a difference: Are you passionate about health and care services, general wellbeing and public health, and looking to make a real difference for local people who use these services? Can you help us make sure people’s experiences make health and care better? 

Health and care champion: We are an award-winning charity that has been addressing health and care inequalities for over ten years in Kirklees and Calderdale. We make sure NHS and social care leaders hear local voices and use this feedback to improve care. 

Be a champion: We want a broad range of board members with relevant professional skills, networks, and life experiences. Do you have experience in governance, human resources, change management, business, finance, or working with diverse communities? We want to hear from you. 

“Good governance leads to good delivery. We need your skills, abilities, knowledge, and experiences to be the best we can be.” 

You will play a crucial role in making sure that Healthwatch Kirklees and Healthwatch Calderdale are governed well and able to make a real difference. Our Chair or another trustee will also be happy to talk directly to potential trustees regarding the role and the current challenges and opportunities. 

Please share this opportunity with your employees for us! This might even meet your requirements for corporate social responsibility and employer supported volunteering schemes.

The deadline to apply is 31st January 2025 

Interviews will be held beginning February 2025
