Vice Chair
For more than 140 years, the NSPCC has stood up for children, combining direct services, evidence, campaigning and public influence to help prevent abuse and neglect. Powered by the generosity of the public and guided by an unwavering commitment to protect every childhood, we play a unique role in British public life. As we review our long-term strategy and consider how we can make the greatest difference for children in a rapidly changing world, we are seeking an exceptional individual to join our Board as Vice Chair.
Alongside your responsibilities as a Trustee, you will work closely with the Chair and Board to help shape the future direction of the charity, strengthen strategic leadership and support the effectiveness of the Board. As Vice Chair, you will provide independent challenge, counsel and perspective, helping to ensure robust governance, sound decision-making, and effective oversight of organisational performance. You will also play a key role in supporting the Board's relationship with the Chief Executive and Executive Leadership Team, holding them to account for delivering our ambitions and achieving meaningful impact for children.
This is a rare opportunity to make a significant contribution to one of the UK's most respected charities at a pivotal moment in its development. We are looking for an accomplished senior leader with substantial Board level experience gained in a complex organisation. You will bring strategic judgement, strong governance credentials, experience of organisational change and performance improvement, and the confidence to provide constructive support and challenge.
Above all, you will share our commitment to improving outcomes for children and young people, embody our values and bring the integrity, independence and collaborative leadership needed to help the NSPCC maximise its impact for future generations.
If you believe you can make a distinctive contribution to our mission, we would be delighted to hear from you. Please visit www.attenti.co.uk/NSPCCVC to read the appointment brief and find out how to apply.

Safer Recruitment
As an organisation, we are committed to creating and fostering a culture that promotes safeguarding and the welfare of all children and adults at risk. Our safer recruitment practices support this by ensuring that there is a consistent and thorough process of obtaining, collating, analysing and evaluating information from and about candidates to ensure that all persons appointed are suitable to work with our children and adults.
Trauma Informed
At the NSPCC we are on a journey to becoming a trauma-informed organisation for the children, young people and families that we work with, as well as our staff and volunteers. To be trauma-informed is one of the guiding principles that shape and guide our 2021-2031 Strategy. This means understanding the nature of adversity, trauma, and resilience so that we can work towards reducing and preventing further harm and promoting recovery and healing. Coming to work at the NSPCC will provide the opportunity for you to join us in our commitment to becoming a trauma-informed organisation.
Volunteer Expenses
We believe that volunteering with the NSPCC shouldn’t leave you out of pocket. We really appreciate your time, and will reimburse expenses in line with our volunteer expenses policy.
