“Small Steps to a Brighter Future”

Milestones Trust is a charitable organisation with a 36-year history of offering safe, person-centred support to people with learning disabilities and enduring mental health needs.  A lot has changed since they began supporting people, they are now needing talented and committed people to join the Trustee Board to shape the organisation’s direction, as develop and implement our new strategy.

They are a values led organisation running services throughout Bristol, South Gloucestershire, and North Somerset, which support around 750 people in specialist residential, nursing and supported living services, along with respite services, day opportunities groups and community projects.

Owing to the retirement of several longstanding members, the Board seeks to recruit four new trustees to provide guidance to the Executive Team and hold them to account.

Trustees need to have a strong interest in health and social care.   They should have experience in at least one of the following areas:

• Commercial acumen and business growth and a knowledge of finance, property project or asset management, social care experience at a senior manager level or people, and those who have lived experience of engaging with social care.  Senior management levelled nursing ideally with mental health and learning disability.

• A good knowledge of corporate governance in the public and private sectors.

• Experience of working in highly regulated sector.

• A high level of interest in helping people with learning disabilities and/or mental health needs.
