Join Videre as a Trustee

Help affected communities gather evidence and drive change

This is a critical moment for human rights. It demands a radically different approach - we are meeting the moment by catalysing a radical evolution of the human rights ecosystem in service of affected communities. Our approach emphasises collaboration, decentralisation, and long-term impact. We are bold, empathetic and collaborative.

We work with communities on the frontlines of oppression to equip them with the tools, training, and networks they need to document abuse, demand accountability, and drive change.

Why join us?

As a trustee, you’ll help safeguard our mission, and ensure our governance is robust, inclusive, and future-focused. You’ll join a committed, collaborative board working closely with our leadership team to ensure Videre delivers meaningful, sustained impact for those we serve.

What we’re looking for

We welcome applications from all backgrounds and experiences. You do not need prior board experience - we value fresh perspectives and lived experience alongside professional expertise.

We are particularly seeking trustees who:

1. Have experience of living in an occupied or oppressed community
2. Have fundraising and/or networking experience
3. Have financial management expertise (for a Treasurer role)
If you can add value to our work, please apply.

Your role as a trustee

1. Safeguard Videre’s vision, mission, and the pursuit of our strategic objectives
2. Ensure legal, financial, and regulatory compliance
3. Contribute expertise and insight to board discussions and decisions
4. Act as an ambassador for our work, including at events or in networks
5. Support the CEO and team with advice, connections, and oversight

Time commitment

1. 4 board meetings per year (half-day each, virtual or in person in London)
2. Finance Committee (for relevant members) — 4 meetings per year (2 hours each)
3. 1–2 brief ad-hoc meetings annually
4. Regular updates and engagement via email between meetings

This is a voluntary role. Reasonable travel expenses will be reimbursed. Induction and training are provided, and you will be supported by experienced board members.

Our commitment to diversity and inclusion

We are committed to building a board that reflects the diversity of the communities we work with. We strongly encourage applications from people from under-represented groups.
