Trustee

For CAPITAL

We are looking for Trustees to join our Board and help guide our work.

This is an opportunity to play an important role in shaping our direction, supporting good governance, and ensuring that lived experience remains at the heart of everything we do.

You will work alongside other Trustees to provide oversight, contribute to decision-making, and support the organisation to grow and develop.

You’ll take part in Board meetings, share your perspective, and help ensure we are delivering meaningful impact.

What you can expect

A supportive and inclusive environment
Opportunities to develop new skills and confidence
The chance to influence real change in mental health services
Support from CAPITAL throughout your role

If you’re interested in becoming a Trustee and contributing your experience and insight, we’d love to hear from you.

Be able to read and understand documents (with support if needed)
Communicate clearly and respectfully
Have basic computer skills or a willingness to learn
Work collaboratively as part of a team
Uphold confidentiality and act with integrity
Be able to take part in Board meetings and group discussions

We welcome applications from people with lived experience and a passion for improving mental health services.

You don’t need previous Trustee experience—we’re looking for people who are willing to learn and contribute.

About CAPITAL

We are a member-led charity organisation, pressing for change and utilising our lived experience.

CAPITAL brings the community together; services, workers, and people who have experienced mental health challenges in order to improve services, provide training opportunities and connections from a lived experience perspective.

We are a dedicated Mental Health Lived Experience Network
We sit independently of support services and networks, collaborating to improve mental health experiences.

We co-produce with our local partners and organisations (including the NHS and Council driven services) to provide lived experience insight and recommendations.

We represent those of all backgrounds and experiences, and champion those with reduced access and opportunities and support networks.
