Are you looking for an opportunity to use your strategic mindset to drive change and create lasting impact?

Do you want to play a key role in shaping the future of an organisation dedicated to helping those in financial crisis?

Are you passionate about contributing to a greater good and supporting people to overcome the barriers of debt, creating a society free from financial hardship? 

We are a dynamic charity undergoing an exciting transformation as we prepare to launch our new five-year strategy. As we expand our reach and impact, we are looking for up to three trustees to join our Board and help us navigate this period of change.  

This is a unique opportunity to influence our mission and strategy, and ensure we continue to support people in need whilst driving positive social change. 

Your Role  

As a trustee, you will be at the heart of our organisation, working alongside a passionate team of colleagues and fellow trustees to steer StepChange towards a future where financial hardship no longer holds people back. Your leadership and strategic insights will help us grow, adapt, and respond to the ever-evolving financial challenges facing our society. 

You will help define and monitor the charity’s strategic direction, ensuring our efforts are aligned with our mission and vision. You will work closely with the executive team to make key decisions, advocate for change, and raise awareness of the critical issues surrounding problem debt. 

About You  

To join our Board, you don’t need to have been a trustee before, but you will need to have a wholehearted commitment to the vision and values of the charity, together with an understanding of, and empathy for, the experiences of people struggling with the everyday problem of debt.  

We welcome applicants with a range of skills and experiences, we are particularly keen to hear from people with skills in the following areas:  

- Public affairs

- Social media marketing

- Fintech

- Information technology and digital

- Accountancy

- Risk  

We believe that diverse views are crucial to shaping our work, helping us to make a bigger social impact, and are committed to fostering a collaborative and inclusive environment, where you can be your authentic self and offer unique perspectives to aid our cause. We would particularly welcome applications from people under 45 years of age and those from ethnic minority groups as both of these groups are currently underrepresented on our Board. However, applications from people from all backgrounds are welcomed and will be considered on an equal basis.
