Who we are
Brook is the UK’s leading sexual health and wellbeing charity. We are committed to changing attitudes, challenging prejudice and championing equality.
Our unique combination of clinical services and education programmes are designed to meet individual needs and instill positive behaviours that influence their whole lives. Our digital solutions help us reach even greater numbers of young people and professionals, and our expansion into all-age services ensures that whole communities can benefit
The role
Brook is particularly looking to appoint individuals who have experience, knowledge and skills in the following areas:
Charity finance
It continues to be a challenging time for the charity sector with 80% of charities exploring cost-cutting measures. We are looking for a trustee who has experience and knowledge of charity finance and the current income challenges.
Young people’s mental health
In 2023/24, we saw increasing numbers of people with complex mental health issues and safeguarding concerns. We are keen to expand our work and expertise in this area so that we can further support young people.
Violence against women & girls
At least one in 12 women are victims of violence against women and girls every year with over one in four women being a survivor of sexual assault in their lifetimes. The true figure is likely to be much higher. We are looking for a trustee who will be able to support Brook to expand our work in this vital area.
About the Board
Our Board works well as a team and in partnership with the senior executive team. We have a Code of Good Governance and work in accordance with the Charity Governance Code. We provide induction, ongoing training, the opportunity to be mentored by another trustee and a supportive environment.
