Person specification

We’re looking to recruit new trustees from diverse backgrounds and ages, especially people from Black African communities, particularly women. Applicants living outside of London, and individuals living with HIV are also encouraged to apply.

Candidates must be able to demonstrate knowledge, skills and experience of at least one of the following:

• Finance, accounting and business development.
• Commerce, fundraising and income generation.

They must also:

• Demonstrate a commitment to the aims and objectives of Terrence Higgins Trust, including equal opportunities and diversity.
• Have skills and experience in setting targets, monitoring and evaluating performance and projects.
• Contribute approximately six hours per month. Board and strategy meetings are generally held six times a year at our offices in London. 
• Candidates should be team players and have the time to commit to attend meetings.

We are committed to equal opportunities and we particularly welcome applications from people living with, or directly affected by, HIV. We also want our board to reflect the key populations most affected by HIV in the UK: racially minoritised communities and gay and bisexual men. We currently have good representation from gay and bisexual men but people of colour are under-represented.
