Trustees with a Deep Commitment to Migrant Justice Sought
Lived experience, LGBTQ+, disabled, GRT, racialised/migratised applications welcomed.
Expertise in areas such as the Arts, Safeguarding, Marketing, Partnerships and Risk & Compliance valued.
What Difference Will You Make?
We're looking for trustees who are deeply invested in the future of migrant justice in an increasingly hostile environment. We're looking for determined, inspired and empathetic individuals who will help us to strengthen and grow our network, develop creative partnership opportunities for our organisation and support us in securing it with strong foundations for building a future of transformational change for all migrants - a future where everyone is free to move, and no one is forced to move.
What Are We Looking For?
Essential
- Demonstrate a strong commitment to migrants' rights, racial justice and social justice
- Share MRN's commitment to migrant-centred, intersectional and anti-oppressive practice
- Believe that people should be free to move, and that nobody's access to safety, rights and security should be determined by immigration status
- Understand, or be willing to learn, the legal duties and responsibilities of trustees
- Demonstrate integrity, sound judgement and independence of thought
- Think strategically and consider the long-term interests of the organisation
- Be willing to offer constructive challenge with care, respect and courage
- Work effectively and collectively with people holding different experiences and perspectives
- Recognise the power held by trustees and be willing to be accountable for how it is exercised
- Commit the time required to prepare for and participate in MRN's governance

What Will You Be Doing?
The Migrants' Rights Network is currently working through a significant period of organisational transition strengthening our systems, controls and governance, supporting staff well-being and organisational culture, and developing our next strategy.
A strong, skilled, and well-supported Board is essential to the Migrants' Rights Network's impact. We're looking to build a team to help shape our next organisational strategy, a team that will provide strong governance that reflects our anti-oppressive and migrant-centred principles.
Previous trustee experience is not essential. Support and induction will be provided.
We particularly encourage applications from people with lived experience of migration or the refugee system, racialised and migratised people, disabled people, LGBTQIA+ people, younger people, and people based outside London.
