Deadline for applications: Monday 20th June
Platfform is the mental health and social change charity. We are a platform for connection, transformation and social change. We work with people experiencing challenges with their mental health, and with communities who want to create a greater sense of connection, ownership and wellbeing in the places they live.
We’re driven by the belief that a strengths based approach is the foundation to sustainable wellbeing for everyone. We do not believe that people or communities are “broken” or in need of fixing.
Our work takes a trauma informed approach to understanding mental health and emotional distress, and we see the mental health, and wider health, social care and public sector systems as no longer fit for purpose. Based on illness and deficit models, they deny people the hope and agency to heal.
As part of a growing social movement, we’re working towards a fundamental shift in the way that public services are provided, so that they support people towards sustainable wellbeing and the life of their choice.
Platfform are seeking three trustees with a background/experience in the following areas:
- Financial Accounting – similar or larger scale and complexity
- Influence – Public Affairs, Policy, Research, Media, Campaigns
- Leadership, Culture and Systems – Organisational Development, Psychodynamics of Groups, Systems, Organisations, Leadership, Power & Culture; System Change
