Trustees with charity or banking experience

We are looking for progressive, forward-thinking individuals with banking or charity management experience to join our Board of Trustees.

Bank Workers Charity is here to support past and present bank workers and their families across the UK. We help people facing challenges with their health and wellbeing, relationships, money and work – offering practical support, guidance and financial assistance when it’s needed most.

We’ve been here for the banking community for over 140 years. As demand for our services grows, we’re looking for two new Trustees to help shape our work and reach more of the people who need us.

We’re particularly keen to hear from candidates with experience in one of the following areas:

  • A senior role within a bank, managing a business unit and demonstrating strong commercial and people skills
  • A senior role within a charity, ideally with knowledge of poverty relief, social provision or impact measurement

You don’t need to have been a Trustee before. We offer a full induction, ongoing support and a buddy system to help you settle in.

Our Board includes 13 Trustees, who serve on one of our committees: Audit and Risk, Finance and Investments, or People. We meet quarterly, usually during working hours, both in person and online. The time commitment is around 12 hours per quarter.

We’re committed to making sure our Board reflects a wide range of experiences and perspectives, and we welcome applications from all backgrounds. These are voluntary, unpaid positions, with reasonable expenses reimbursed. All applicants are subject to DBS checks.

How to apply

To apply, please submit your CV and personal statement by email to tr-rec@bwcharity.org.uk stating:

  1. Why would you like to be a Trustee?

Closing date: 5pm, Monday 8 September 2025
