Trustees

We’re recruiting for trustees

Want to support an organisation striving for systemic change?

We are looking for trustees who want to contribute to the governance of an organisation, whilst centring migrant voices and experiences, and embedding our campaigning and policy work within a migrant-led agenda to help make a just society for migrants a reality.

We are looking for the following roles:

• Chair of the board
• Trustee with HR expertise
• Trustee with fundraising and income generation expertise

For more information on the role descriptions, please download and view the Recruitment Pack below.

Your commitment

These roles require at least 10 days commitment a year, and this would include attending bimonthly board meetings, and potentially subgroups when they are set up, strategy and away days and reading through board reports prior to meetings.

Board meetings are currently being held in a hybrid format on a bi-monthly basis. Meetings in person would take place in our office in East London.

The roles are unpaid, but we will reimburse reasonable expenses e.g. childcare, travel and accommodation, if required.

An inclusive board and organisation

All new trustees will receive induction and support from existing trustees and the staff, and ongoing access to training and refresher courses, where required.

You will be contributing to making a real difference to the lives of migrants, including refugees. We strive to have a board that is representative of the racialised communities we work alongside, and ensure we have good representation from those with lived experience of the migration/refugee system.

We are committed to being a truly inclusive organisation, and want to actively encourage those who identify with a disability, as LGBTQIA, or those under 25 to apply.

If you have access requirements or need any adjustments to the recruitment process, please do let us know

About us

The Migrants’ Rights Network (MRN) is a UK charity that stands in solidarity with all migrants in their fights for rights and justice.

MRN’s vision is a society in which:

• People should be free to move because migration is and has always been an integral part of the human experience.
• Everyone, including all migrants, should live in a society which is free from all forms of oppression and discrimination.
• Nobody’s access to safety, rights and security should be determined by their immigration status.
