Clinical Trustee

WithYou is a leading UK charity supporting over 100,000 people each year with challenges around drugs, alcohol and mental health. We provide free, confidential services without judgement across England and Scotland - from community treatment and harm reduction programmes to young people's clinical and mental health support through our Talking Therapies services, in person or online.

Our vision is a future where everyone can live a life free from the harm associated with drugs and alcohol. To help achieve this, we are seeking to appoint a new Clinical Trustee to join our Board as we deliver our ambitious 2025-30 strategy.

As a Clinical Trustee, you will:

Bring independent clinical insight and expertise to the Board. Provide assurance on quality, safety, and clinical governance and risk. Champion evidence-based, trauma-informed, person-centred care. Play an active role in strategic decision-making, ensuring we continue to deliver safe, effective and high-quality services for all those we support. Support the Executive team as a trusted sounding board on clinical issues, innovations, and clinical workforce development.

We are looking for a compassionate and strategic leader with a senior clinical background in psychiatry, psychology, addiction/substance misuse, public health or a related field, who can bring both professional expertise and governance experience to our Board. You will have a strong track record of contributing at executive and/or non- executive level, with a deep understanding of clinical governance and safeguarding.

Above all, you will bring a passion for our mission, a steadfast commitment to tackling stigma and reducing health inequalities, and the collaborative spirit needed to work effectively with fellow Trustees and the Executive Team.

Time commitment: Approximately 1-2 days per month, including quarterly Board meetings in London, Committee work, and service visits.

Remuneration: This is a voluntary role; all reasonable expenses will be reimbursed.

Term: Three years, renewable once.

WithYou is fully committed to maintaining the diversity of its Board. To this end, we welcome applications from candidates with different skills, life experiences and backgrounds.
