NCT needs you help to take positive action to increase the diversity on our Board of Trustees. We are looking for candidates from black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds who can bring skills, experience, energy and enthusiasm to our social mission.
We are taking positive action to enhance the diversity of our Board of Trustees
As we steer a course through the impact of coronavirus, we need to think creatively about how we support new parents in a changing context. As part of that, we are reaffirming our commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion and taking positive action to enhance the diversity of our Board of Trustees and build their capacity in terms of skills and lived experience.
Therefore we are looking for candidates from black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds who can bring skills, experience, energy and enthusiasm to our social mission. While candidates from all backgrounds are welcome to apply, we are particularly keen to encourage candidates from black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds.
We have made good progress on our work to engage all four nations and have Trustee representation from England, Scotland and Wales, but remain under-represented in Northern Ireland. We are therefore encouraging members living in Northern Ireland to consider standing for election so the Board has representation across all the four nations of the UK.
You can find out more about the role of a Trustee, together with full eligibility criteria, in our candidate information pack.
If you’d like to stand for election, please email our Board Secretary by Tuesday 6 October to request a nomination pack. You will need to submit your completed nomination by Tuesday 20 October. You will need two members to nominate you.
Our new Trustees will be announced at our AGM on Friday 11 December. Good luck!
