Lancashire Women
At Lancashire Women, we've spent more than 40 years working alongside women across Lancashire, creating safe spaces, providing practical support and challenging the inequalities that continue to affect women's lives. From mental health and wellbeing services to support for women in the criminal justice system, our work helps thousands of women each year to find stability, confidence and opportunity.
As we look to the future, we're ambitious about the role we can play in supporting women and influencing change. We're strengthening partnerships, expanding our reach and building our voice as an advocate for women across Lancashire and beyond.
Role
To help us achieve that ambition, we're looking for new Trustees that will ensure our Board reflects and celebrates the diversity and voices of women across Lancashire.
This is an opportunity to contribute to the strategic direction of an established, forward-thinking charity with a local reputation we'd love you to feel proud of. You'll work alongside a committed Board and leadership team, helping to ensure Lancashire Women remains financially sustainable, well-governed and focused on delivering the best possible impact for the women we serve.
We're particularly interested in hearing from people with experience in:
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
- Finance
- Legal services
- The criminal justice system
However, professional expertise is only part of the picture. We're equally interested in hearing from people who bring different perspectives, backgrounds and lived experiences. We're not yet as representative as we want to be, and we're absolutely committed to building a Board that better reflects and celebrates the diversity of women across Lancashire.
You definitely don't need previous trustee experience to apply.
What matters most is a commitment to our mission, good judgement, strategic thinking and a willingness to contribute your time, expertise and perspective.
Over the next few years, Lancashire Women will be making important decisions about its future. Our staff and volunteers will need thoughtful support, constructive challenge and strong governance to help turn ambition into reality. We're looking for Trustees who are ready and excited to play an active role in that journey.
If you're passionate about tackling inequality, improving outcomes for women and helping shape the future of a charity that changes lives every day, we'd love to hear from you.
How to apply
A short CV or profile is a great starting point, but not essential. If you'd like application details or to arrange an informal conversation about the role, please get in touch.
