We’re looking for trustees!

We’re Mid and North East Essex Mind, your local mental health charity, here to make sure no one in our community has to face a mental health problem alone. Right now, we’re looking for two new trustees to join our board, and we’d love to hear from you.

We’re especially keen to welcome someone with experience in Health & Social Care, and another with a background in Finance. These are vital roles that will help shape how we grow and continue supporting local people.

Why become a trustee?

Being a trustee means bringing your skills and experience to the table, and making a real difference. You’ll help steer the direction of the charity, and support our mission of ensuring everyone in our community knows how to take care of their mental health and gets the support they need.

Here’s what some of our current trustees have to say:

Heather Connery:

“Mental health matters deeply to me. I find hope and purpose in the work we do at Mid and North East Essex Mind – walking alongside people through the hardest part of their journey. I’m proud to be part of an organisation that turns compassion into action”.

Peter Pushman:

“Being a Trustee of Mid and North Essex Mind is both rewarding and interesting. It has enabled me to significantly increase my knowledge of the mental health issues in our area and the services we provide to assist those affected. I feel we make a huge difference to peoples lives and would recommend the role to anyone interested in contributing their time to a very worthwhile cause.”

Jill Purcell:

“From day one I felt very welcomed. The onboarding process has been really helpful and the support from my fellow trustees has been great. I am picking up so much and I am excited to get stuck in and contribute more.”

What we’re looking for

You don’t need to have been a trustee before. What matters most is that you care, and you’re willing to use your skills to support something meaningful.

We’re currently recruiting for:

• A trustee with Health & Social Care experience

• A trustee with a Finance background

If either sounds like you, or you know someone who’d be perfect, please get in touch.
