Board Trustee

Longleigh Foundation
Job Description
Help shape a future where everyone living in social housing has the opportunity to thrive.

Longleigh Foundation is a grant-making charity working to improve the lives and wellbeing of people living in social housing across the UK. From emergency grants that keep people afloat, to funding pioneering research that addresses systemic inequalities, we’re committed to transforming lives and influencing lasting change.

With our new strategy launching this summer, we’re looking for three new Trustees to join our dedicated Board and help drive our next phase of growth and impact.

We’re particularly seeking experience in:

  • Investments

  • HR / OD / People Management

  • Governance, ideally with a charity setting

  • Customer Services / Social Investment within Social Housing


…but above all, we want people who share our vision, values and commitment to social justice.

We warmly welcome applications from individuals with lived experience of social housing and from under-represented communities, especially those identifying as Black, Asian or from other minority ethnic backgrounds.

What you’ll bring:

  • Integrity and sound judgement

  • Strategic thinking

  • Commitment to our mission and values

  • Willingness to contribute your skills and time


Trustees serve an initial term of three years, renewable for up to two further terms. Most meetings are virtual, making this an accessible and flexible opportunity.

Why join us?

  • Be part of an ambitious and compassionate charity

  • Influence real change in the social housing sector

  • Learn and grow alongside a skilled and passionate Board

  • Make a tangible difference to people’s lives
