Trustee opportunities

Join our engaged and committed board of trustees and help guide Unlock's continued success

We’re looking for new trustees.

If you are motivated to help people move on positively with their lives and create a fairer and more inclusive society, this is the opportunity for you.

About the roles

From ensuring we continue to work in the best interests of people with criminal records, to representing Unlock in the wider world, trustees play an important role in the leadership, strategic direction and governance of Unlock.

About you

We are especially keen to appoint both people who come from racially minoritised communities and people who have themselves met with and overcome the disadvantages of having a criminal record. We would also be keen to welcome first-time Trustees and will be happy to provide support.

Our Board would particularly love to hear from you if you have any of the following experience:

  • Experience of working in academia or undertaking research in another setting
  • Experience of policy, influencing or campaigning on behalf of a charity or organisation
  • Skills relating to IT/data systems management
  • Experience of income generation from a range of sources
  • Knowledge and experience of delivering in ways that embed equity, diversity and inclusion

How to apply

Closing date: 7 July 2024.

If you would like to have an informal chat about the role, please contact current trustee Mandy Mahil: mandy.mahil@unlock.org.uk

If you have any questions about the application form or process, contact admin@unlock.org.uk or call 07358 204839.

Please note: These roles are unpaid. All travel expenses will be covered.

We want to make sure that our website is as helpful as possible.
