The Social Care Institute for Excellence (SCIE) is an independent social care charity with deep experience of bringing partners and people with lived experience together to collaborate and innovate to improve people’s lives. We imagine a society where everyone—regardless of age, background, or circumstance—can lead safe, fulfilling, and healthy lives.
In recent years we have evolved from a largely Government-funded body to a fast-moving, high-profile, more commercial organisation and thought leader. Working across social care and health for adults, children and families, we contribute to the development and implementation of better care, support and safeguarding at local and national level.
Co-production is at the heart of all we do. We don’t just design services for people—we work with them. By bringing together diverse voices, including those with lived experience, we help shape better policies, practice, and outcomes in social care.
In a time of continued transformation for the health and social care sector, the role of our Board of Trustees has never been more important. Our Board brings together people from a wide range of sectors, perspectives, and life experiences. Together, they provide strong, inclusive leadership and support SCIE to be accountable, ambitious, and values-led in everything we do.
We’re now seeking two new Trustees to join our Board and help guide SCIE into its next chapter. This is a critical time for social care, and we welcome people who bring strategic thinking, emotional intelligence, and a collaborative approach to governance.
We are particularly interested in candidates with expertise in one or more of the following areas:
- Cyber Security and Data Protection
- Social Finance and Impact Investing
- Income Generation and Business Development
- Digital Transformation and Marketing
- Health, Social and Political Context of Social Care
- Social Care Policy and Advocacy
You don’t need to have been a trustee before, and we encourage applications from people of all backgrounds—especially those who are underrepresented in leadership and board roles, and those with lived experience of using or providing care and support.
If you share our commitment to a fairer, more inclusive society, and believe your voice and experience can help us get there, we’d be delighted to hear from you.
