Mind in Brighton and Hove (MiBH) supports and empowers people experiencing mental health issues across Brighton and Hove, East and West Sussex. We provide a range of support to enable people to make choices about the services they use and the treatment they receive and our work is informed by the needs and views of people with mental health issues and by the wider community.

We are seeking general Trustees and a Treasurer to complement the experience and expertise of our existing Board. As a Trustee of MiBH you will have a commitment to the Charity and ensure that it is effectively governed in line with our mission, vision and values. You will need to think strategically and creatively, communicate clearly and be able to exercise independent judgement.

We really welcome applications from people with lived experience of mental health issues. We are committed to diversifying the membership of our Board of Trustees and particularly keen to receive applications from people who identify as male or non-binary, and people from racialised communities

Treasurer:  in addition to the above, you will have an overview of organisational financial activities; chair the Finance and Business Development Sub-Committee; make recommendations to the Board on financial matters and ensure that proper financial procedures and records are maintained in compliance with legal and regulatory requirements.

Trustee roles require an estimated commitment equivalent to approx.1 day per month, which includes preparation for and attendance at Board meetings, held early evenings during the week, every 2 months and our AGM.

This service supports people with mental health needs to explore what they wish to achieve in their lives, providing practical and emotional support to help them work toward their goals. Volunteers are trained as mentors and are encouraged to reflect on their own recovery and how their experiences can positively influence the support they give to mentees. Each match is time-focused with the aim to reach agreed goals. Areas covered are Crawley, Horsham and Mid Sussex.
