Could you be our next Trustee?
Are you looking for a meaningful opportunity to give back, use your skills, and help shape the future for expectant and new parents across the UK? Could you help NCT move closer to its vision of a world where every parent feels confident, connected, and safe — no matter their background or circumstances? If so, we’d love to hear from you.
We’re looking for two new trustees to join our Board, and help shape what comes next. Trustees play a vital role in guiding NCT, helping us continue our important work supporting people as they become parents, and we are committed to building a diverse and inclusive Board that reflects the people and communities we serve.
This is a powerful opportunity to contribute to a cause that matters deeply to millions of people across the UK and to help ensure that every pregnant woman, expectant and new parent feels supported in their unique pregnancy and early parenting journey.
Based on the current profile of our Board of Trustees, we especially welcome applications from:
- People with career experience in Charity, Company and Employment law
- Public health, midwifery and other health professionals, especially those who know the NHS and understand how it works
- Those with lived or professional experience in volunteering
- Parents living in Northern Ireland
- Single/Solo parents
- People with disabilities (as defined by The Equality Act 2010)
