Trustee

The Mortimer Society is seeking Trustees to join the Board from a wide range of backgrounds with compassion and commitment to provide excellence in care for our residents in two residential homes. We are particularly interested in people with experience of legal matters, finance and governance, medical or nursing experience or knowledge of marketing and fundraising.

The Society is a charity which aims to provide quality and safe care for those with a physical and/or a learning disability, and in particular those people living with Huntington’s disease and other neurological conditions. This care is provided in two residential care homes – Frindsbury House in Rochester and Birling House in Snodland – mortimersociety.org.uk.

The commitment for a Trustee is attendance at 4 half day Board meetings every year, a half day annual general meeting, special meetings as required and training of up to one day annually. Attendance at the social functions at the homes is actively encouraged, to allow Trustees to meet residents, families and staff.

If this is your first time considering the role of Trustee, we will ensure you receive support and guidance so that you can participate effectively. These rewarding and stimulating roles are voluntary, but travel and subsistence expenses will be paid.

If you are interested in finding out more contact Paul Studd, Chief Executive Officer at the Mortimer Society – p.studd@mortimersociety.org.uk / 01634 244689 or D David Oliver – Chair of Trustees – d.oliver@mortimersociety.org.uk.
