Who we are
Citizens Advice offers confidential advice online, over the phone, and in person, for free. Through our national network of charities, we give people the knowledge and the confidence they need to find their way forward – whoever they are, and whatever their problem.
We are Citizens Advice—the people’s champion. We empower individuals with the knowledge and confidence they need to move forward, no matter who they are or what challenges they face.
The role
We are currently recruiting for two Trustee positions with the following specialisms:
Trustee: Local Government
As local government undergoes fundamental reorganisation and devolution, you will help us navigate this shifting landscape. We are seeking a senior leader (e.g., CEO, Director, or senior elected member) to serve as a strategic bridge between our mission and the public sector.
-
Sector Authority: Deep knowledge of the pressures and statutory responsibilities facing local authorities.
-
Strategic Insight: A vision for how government and civil society can partner to change lives.
-
Influential Networks: Established relationships across the local government and devolution landscape.
Trustee: Systems Change & Reducing Inequality
Citizens Advice has transitioned to a mission-based model, focusing on providing advice fit for the future, closing the gap for marginalised communities, and taking earlier action. We need an inspirational leader to help us drive this systemic change.
-
Systemic Impact: Experience delivering change in complex environments, such as public service delivery aimed at poverty prevention or community-led initiatives tackling structural inequities.
-
Creative Strategy: A sounding board for movement-building, “power-shifting,” and navigating change within federated or group-based organisations.
-
Collaborative Power: A passion for mobilising collective action to achieve meaningful change for people struggling to find a way forward.
