Are you the sort of person that thinks,

“How do we make this even better?”

Then, get in touch.

Mind Jersey is looking to appoint new Board members, who will help guide the organisation in meeting the ever-increasing demands for mental health support. The charity is seeking individuals for these honorary positions to have responsibility for overseeing the charity’s governance and provide oversight and guidance to the executives.

Mind Jersey is an independent local charity that provides support to people living with mental illness. Our vision is of a society that promotes and protects good mental health for all, and that treats people with experience of mental illness fairly, positively and with respect.

Although affiliated with Mind in the UK, Mind Jersey retains its independence, both financially and operationally. All money raised by Mind Jersey stays in Jersey for the benefit of Island residents. Our affiliation ensures that we meet Mind’s quality standards of governance and service delivery, follow best practice models of involving local people in their community – people who have had experience of mental illness – and provide good quality services.

We are particularly keen to ensure diversity on the board and the ability to represent our whole community. We would welcome applications from a range of experiences including people with lived experience and the ability to speak Portuguese. Skills particularly sought include fundraising and sustainability , digital and transformation, commercial property and legal skills.

In an ever-evolving world, we’re always looking to strengthen the skillset of the board, the role offers both personal and professional benefits.

Our aims

• Change public attitudes, reduce stigma and misunderstanding.

• Influence government policy and improve practice towards people with mental illness.

• Provide support and help so that people can take control of their mental health and live full lives.

• Make lives better for their families and friends.
