Founded in 1841, RAD is one of the oldest charities working with deaf people in the UK. Celebrating deaf culture and community is an essential part of what we do. With deaf people, and in collaboration with others, we innovate and deliver services that deaf people want and need.

We are looking to recruit a new Honorary Treasurer Trustee to join our board, for an initial term of three years (with a potential to extend for one further term) and are particularly looking for someone with the following skills and/or experience:

• Charity leadership experience

• Alongside personal and professional credibility, you will have the ability to contribute to constructive discussion and debate, have a positive attitude and a desire to make a real difference to the lives of deaf people, acting as an ambassador for the community. You will need to be eligible to be a company director and have the time to dedicate to this important role.

We recognise the positive value of diversity, promote equality and challenge discrimination. We welcome and encourage job applications from people of all backgrounds.
