Join our Board of Trustees

For 140 years we have worked passionately to support dental students, dentists, and their families throughout the UK with grant funding and wellbeing services to those facing difficult situations.

Due to the upcoming retirement of two of our existing Trustees, we are looking for two new Trustees to join the Board from June 2024.

As a Trustee, you can make a real difference through your commitment and by applying your specific knowledge, experience, or skills to help us further develop our work and learn about the charitable sector. After undertaking an analysis of the current Board, we have identified specific characteristics or experiences we are looking for to enhance those offered by the existing Trustees and to improve the diversity of the Board.

We particularly welcome interest and applications from:
• the global majority
• LGBTQ+
• non-dentists
• dental students
• those with lived experience of poverty/ living on a low-income
• those residing/working in Wales

Ideally, you will have expertise in PR/ marketing /fundraising (in dentistry or otherwise), and/ or you can help us access the wider dental community through your current or previous work on committees, professional associations/bodies/ groups, or places of work.

This could be your first Trustee role, or you could already have some experience. We have a full induction process and ongoing training to support you. Trustee positions are voluntary, but we don’t expect you to be out of pocket for carrying out your role, so expenses for travel, etc are paid per our Expenses Policy.

The deadline for applying is 5 pm on Monday 13 May 2024. We ask candidates to submit a CV and cover letter. The letter should highlight your relevant skills, background, and experience (as per the advert and role description) and be no more than one side of A4/500 words. Letters and CVs are to be emailed to [email protected]
