What does the organisation do?
Victim Support is the national charity for victims and witnesses
of crime in England and Wales. We have around 1500 staff and over
6,000 volunteers who deal with more than 1,500,000 victims and
witnesses across England & Wales every year.
What is the opportunity?
We are seeking to fill three Trustee places. Your commitment to
us will include attending board meetings (usually six a year) plus
other committee meetings and events, mostly in London and during
work hours. You will be helping our charity achieve its ambitious
goals as the leading organisation supporting and speaking out for
victims and witnesses.
What competencies do you need?
The Board of Trustees is crucial to our success, providing
guidance and leadership at the highest level of our charity. We are
seeking people with a range of board level expertise with the time
and commitment to devote to this challenging role and who are in
tune with the diverse communities we serve.

Is there anything else you should know?
Our charity has undergone huge changes in recent years to
transform both our structure and our services. Most recently we
have had £8m of new investment from central government to further
develop our help for victims as well as launching the UK's first
dedicated support service for people bereaved by homicide. In order
to raise our profile and awareness of what we do, we have launched
a new brand identity and national advertising campaign and will be
putting in place a new long term fundraising strategy.
