Trustee

The Lullaby Trust is a charity that saves babies’ lives and supports bereaved families. Around 3 babies a week still die from sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and we are committed to bringing that number down to zero. We are currently midway through our five year strategy and considering what more we can achieve. We’re looking for new Trustees to join our board to strengthen our vision and bring their expertise to adapt and improve our work.

As a member of the Board of Trustees you will:

•Provide strategic oversight and leadership •  Ensure The Lullaby Trust complies with its governing document (Articles of Association), charity law, company law and other relevant legislation or regulations •Act within the principles of good governance  

Time commitment: 

•You will be expected to attend four Board meetings a year, which take place during office hours. •We currently have four Committees and ask trustees to join one of these and attend meetings (4 maximum per year). •Additional meetings on areas such as strategic focus may also be required. •Our meetings are a mix of virtual and face to face in our London office for which we will reimburse travel expenses and childcare expenses if applicable.   We are looking to recruit a number of additional Board Members in 2024. You don’t need any previous experience of board or leadership roles to apply. We will provide training and support in your role as a trustee. We are looking for commitment, enthusiasm, and to fill some of the skills gaps we have identified.

We welcome applications from a varied background of skills and experiences and are particularly seeking those who have knowledge of the following fields:

•Public Health •Child death review •Supporting families when a baby or young child dies •Finance and accounting
