Become an Independent Lives trustee

We believe that every individual has the power to bring about positive change, especially in the lives of disabled people, those with support needs, and carers. This is your chance to make a real difference by joining us as a trustee at Independent Lives.

As a trustee, you'll play a crucial role in shaping the future of Independent Lives. Your insights, experiences, and guidance will help steer our organisation towards achieving greater impact in our community. You will be a voice for those we serve, ensuring that their needs and aspirations are at the heart of everything we do.

We're looking for the following people to join our board:

• Individuals with lived experience of disability;
• Professionals from health & social care, HR, or legal backgrounds;
• People passionate about promoting equality and inclusion;
• Individuals ready to commit one to two days per month for board meetings and strategic planning.

Joining Independent Lives as a trustee is not just about what you can offer us – it's also about what you can gain. This role offers you a unique opportunity to be part of a leading charity that's making a real difference.

You will join a team of diverse, committed, and passionate people. This role is a platform for you to advocate for and influence issues close to your heart, all while growing personally and professionally in leadership and governance. 

A day in the life of a care worker

Every day, care workers step into a role that is as challenging as it is rewarding. It’s a career that demands not only professional skills but also a genuine passion for making a difference.

Join us on a behind-the-scenes journey to discover what a typical day looks like for our dedicated care workers. From the morning routines to the heartfelt conversations over a cup of tea, each day is unique and offers the opportunity to not just assist with everyday tasks, but to become a valued part of someone’s life.
