Work With Us

We're looking for Trustees to join us!

About the roles

We are looking for up to 6 new trustees to join the board as we continue to build on and accelerate our work as an independent charity. We are proud of what we have achieved in just over a year, creating an organisation that is led by centring survivor voices and our values of equity and justice. We have continued the work of movement building by creating intentional spaces for community, knowledge exchange, advocacy and centring the experiences of survivors from faith backgrounds.

Yet, we have much to do to build a robust and resilient organisation that cares for its workers as much as it cares for the cause and achieves its mission to ensure that all women of any faith and racial background has access to support and justice.

The skills and expertise we need are listed in the ‘Trustee Role Profiles’ below but can be summarised into the following:

• Experience in governance, strategy, finance, fundraising, or legal expertise
• A commitment to anti-racist, anti-oppressive, and inclusive feminist practice
• Lived or professional experience in the VAWG sector, activism, or community organising
• An understanding of the role of faith in survivors’ lives and a willingness to engage with this nuance

We would particularly welcome applications from people of colour, faith, racialised and global majority communities, LGBTQIA+ and disability, those with migration experiences, and those underrepresented in leadership spaces as we are looking to improve the diversity of our board.

Previous board or trustee experience is desirable but not essential, and we welcome applications from all ages and backgrounds.

In line with Charity Commission guidelines the trustee role is voluntary and unpaid, but reasonable expenses will be covered including travel, overnight accommodation and food allowance.

Application Process

The application process will involve a short submission by email from you before shortlisting people for a 45-minute interview.

In your application email please include:

• Information about you, your professional background, any relevant lived experience, your passions and what makes you tick.
• The specific trustee role profile you are applying for.
• Tell us why you want to join the board of trustees, how you feel about our mission and work.
• Share why your experience and particular skill(s) are important to our work and vision of the work.
• A CV or link to your LinkedIn or other online profile (please do not feel you need to prepare anything for this - just use something you already have prepared).

We are happy to receive applications either in written form (around 2 sides of A4 maximum) or as a short video or audio recording (around 4 minutes). The page / time suggestions are provided as a guide to help manage expectations - we don’t expect lots of information, you won’t be penalised for going under or a bit over this guidance.

Interviews will be conducted by Huda Jawad, Executive Director of the Faith and VAWG Coalition and up to two existing Trustees.

• Applications close: 11.59pm 12th September 2025

Please email: hello@faithandvawg.org with your application by 11.59pm on 12th September 2025
