Northpoint is a Yorkshire-based mental health charity supporting children, young people and adults across our region and beyond.

Why join our Board?

Our Trustee roles are voluntary and designed to be manageable alongside other commitments. We place a strong emphasis on:

What we're looking for?

We are seeking new trustees to join our board. We’re particularly keen to connect with those who bring strong community insight, lived experience, and a value led approach to leadership.

We are particularly interested in hearing from people with experience in areas such as digital innovation, accessibility and inclusion, healthcare, governance, leadership, community engagement, organisational growth, or partnerships.

You may never have considered becoming a Trustee before, and that's okay. We welcome people from a range of backgrounds who share our values, bring fresh perspectives and have the time and commitment to contribute to our Board. We are particularly keen to hear from individuals who are passionate about mental health, inclusion and supporting positive change within communities.

Our commitment to diversity

We know that our Board does not currently reflect the full diversity of the communities we serve. We are committed to broadening the range of voices, perspectives and lived experiences represented around our Board table and would particularly welcome applications from people from ethnically diverse backgrounds, minority ethnic communities and groups that are currently underrepresented within our governance structures.

We believe that diversity of thought, experience and identity strengthens decision making and helps us better understand and respond to the needs of the children, young people, adults and communities we support. All appointments will be made on merit, based on the skills, experience and qualities each individual brings.
