We are recruiting new trustees to our board!
Close the Gap is looking for new people to join our board of trustees.
About Close the Gap
It’s an exciting time to join Close the Gap, as we look to expand our impact and reach in driving action to end women’s labour market inequality and create real change in women’s lives.
Our Chair, Samantha Bedford, has shared her experience of working on the Close the Gap board:
“It’s a great way to use my knowledge, skills and experience and to give back.
It’s enabled me to become a better, more experienced trustee – seeing how others operate, the diversity of thought and the overall professionalism of the board.
I’ve learned so much about the issues and how to navigate public sector funding and influencing which continues to be fascinating.”
About you
Committed to women’s labour market equality, you’ll have the ability to think strategically and creatively, and to respond to the needs of the organisation. You’ll also be able to commit the time to fulfil the role of trustee and help us meet our strategic objectives.
We are strongly committed to equality, and recognise that diverse boards are more effective, and result in better governance practice. We would particularly welcome applications from racially minoritised people and disabled people, who are currently under-represented on our board.
We’re also especially interested in receiving applications from people that have knowledge and experience in equality and/or human rights, and fundraising.
How to apply
Applications must be submitted using our online application form which you can find at https://www.closethegap.org.uk/jobs/.

You will be notified by Friday 17th January 2025 if you have been selected for interview.
It is anticipated that the interviews will take place remotely during the week commencing Monday 27th January 2025.
