Join our board of trustees
At Trauma Treatment International (TTI), we specialise in treating trauma caused by violence and human rights abuses. We know that ignoring trauma makes societies less able to stand up for justice and human rights.
What we do
We provide specialist treatment for survivors of collective violence and evidence-based support to build the resilience of organisations working to uphold justice and human rights. Grounded in clinical expertise and guided by lived experience, we help others understand and treat trauma effectively.
Since our founding in 2017, TTI has provided highly effective trauma treatment to hundreds of people affected by war, conflict, modern slavery, far-right violence, hostage situations, and other forms of collective violence. We have also helped to strengthen the resilience of frontline organisations - campaigners, researchers, journalists, lawyers, advice workers, and community organisers- who play a critical role in upholding justice and human rights.
We are seeking new trustees to join our friendly board and guide our next chapter. We particularly welcome applications from people who:
who have lived experience of the issues we work on
who are strategic thinkers with a hopeful, change-oriented mindset
have knowledge from paid or voluntary work in relevant sectors (human rights, migration/refugee support, anti-slavery/trafficking, media, legal/justice, UK and international human rights)
can offer skills in areas such as income generation, trauma-informed practice, equity, diversity & inclusion, anti-racism, clinical governance, HR, or organisational development.
Why join: Influence strategy, strengthen collective efforts, and work with a friendly, small team committed to trauma-informed principles. All reasonable expenses for board meetings are covered. The board meets online four times a year, usually from 6.30 - 8 pm in the evening.
Find out more about how to apply here. The deadline is 22nd May 2026.
Accessibility We encourage applications from people who are disabled and people with lived experience of the issues we work on. We also recognise the barriers that have traditionally stopped some people from getting involved with boards. Whilst this is an unpaid post, we will cover expenses such as travel and data costs that you may incur as a board member. We will also work with you to make this recruitment process as accessible as possible.
