Trustees

Are you passionate about supporting migrant women trapped in the immigration and criminal justice systems?  

Are social justice, respect for all and addressing inequalities intrinsic to your core values and beliefs? 

Hibiscus enables marginalised migrant women trapped in the immigration and criminal justice systems to rebuild their lives. The women we work with are amongst the most vulnerable in society; many are survivors of gender-based violence, including trafficking, domestic abuse, forced marriage and sexual violence. 

For over 38-years, Hibiscus has established an unrivalled record of delivering high-impact support and advocacy services to migrant women.

Unremunerated – Reasonable expenses and training paid 

Time commitment – 4 board meetings and 4 sub-committee meetings per year. (Time commitment approx. 1-2 days per month)  

This is an exciting opportunity to join the Board of Hibiscus. We are seeking to find committed, engaged and reliable Trustees to work in partnership with the Chair, Board, our CEO and our senior team as we deliver our new five-year strategy.

To work alongside our new Chair, we are seeking candidates who will bring skills and experience in one or more areas of non-executive governance and management e.g. finance, strategic communications, fundraising, inclusion and campaigning. This is not an exhaustive list and if you feel you can bring other skills that would help the Board, then please apply.

Hibiscus was founded to support Black and minoritised women in prison. Today we continue to strive to be a proactively anti-racist organisation with an anti- racism strategy that informs our operational delivery. This means we centre the migrant women we work with and their experiences in every aspect of our work.  

This includes consciously recruiting to attract talent from Black and minoritised communities and those with lived experience of the immigration and justice systems, and/or gender-based violence. We offer support, reasonable adjustments and encourage open and inclusive dialogue from the start of any employee, volunteer and service user's journey with Hibiscus.
