This is a unique opportunity to make a meaningful difference, contribute your skills and expertise, and be part of a collective effort to address societal challenges and create positive change in our community.

What are we looking for?

We seek individuals who bring energy, enthusiasm, and a commitment to the role, and who can help broaden the diversity of thinking on our board. We are especially interested in candidates with skills and experience in legal, medical, therapy, bid writing, and events. We welcome applications from all backgrounds, particularly those underrepresented on charity boards. We are committed to creating an inclusive and supportive environment for our trustees, staff, volunteers, and beneficiaries.

• Willingness to lead according to our values
• Commitment to Nolan’s seven principles of public life: selflessness, integrity, objectivity, accountability, openness, honesty, and leadership

What will you be doing?

Beyond Reflections is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation supporting trans, non-binary, and gender-questioning adults, along with their friends, families, and allies in England and Wales. Our mission is to deliver world-class mental well-being support, enabling individuals to understand themselves better, navigate challenges, build resilience, and make healthy decisions about their future. We believe acceptance and education are fundamental to creating an inclusive society where everyone can express themselves freely.

We are currently seeking a secretary to assist with arranging meetings, distributing agendas, taking minutes, and record-keeping. We also aim to expand our trustee board with individuals skilled in legal, medical, therapy, bid writing, and event management. We welcome applications from diverse backgrounds and are dedicated to fostering an inclusive environment for all involved.
