Trustees

What will you be doing?

Crossroads Care is entering an important and exciting new chapter in its development. Following a period of organisational change, we are focused on building a stronger, more sustainable future for the organisation, enhancing the services we provide, and ensuring we are well positioned to meet the evolving needs of the communities we support.

Alongside strengthening our operational and financial foundations, we are undertaking a wider programme of development that includes a new organisational identity, a renewed strategic focus, and ambitions for sustainable growth. As we look ahead, we are seeking new trustees who can help shape and guide this next phase of our journey.

We are looking for individuals who can bring professional expertise, strategic insight, and independent judgement, alongside a genuine commitment to supporting an organisation that delivers vital care services.

See candidate pack for more details.

What are we looking for?

We are currently seeking to recruit approximately three to four new trustees.

We are particularly interested in candidates with expertise in one or more of the following areas:

• Finance: Financial oversight is an important area for the organisation as we continue to strengthen sustainability and support future growth. We are seeking a trustee with strong financial expertise who can provide strategic guidance and independent scrutiny.

   

• Marketing and Brand Development: As we undertake a major organisational rebrand and repositioning, marketing expertise is becoming increasingly relevant. This is an opportunity to influence the future identity and positioning of the organisation, and how we present ourselves to clients, families, stakeholders, and the wider community.

   

• Business Development and Growth: We are also seeking individuals with commercial or business development experience who can support the organisation’s growth ambitions. We welcome individuals who are innovative, commercially aware, and capable of thinking creatively within the realities of the care sector.

   

• Care, Health, or Social Care: We recognise the value of practical, real-world understanding of the environments in which our teams operate. Experience within care, healthcare, social care, or community services would be highly valuable.

What difference will you make?

This is a particularly exciting time to join the organisation. We are entering a period of meaningful transformation that includes

• A major organisational rebrand
• Strategic repositioning within the care market
• Financial recovery and stabilisation
• Investment in marketing and growth
• Development of stronger governance structures
• Long-term sustainability planning

There is also potential for future leadership opportunities within the board. Future succession planning will create opportunities for trustees who may wish to take on additional leadership responsibilities over time.

Above all, this role offers the chance to contribute to an organisation that is actively evolving, learning, and striving to create positive impact for the individuals and communities it serves.
