Trustee Positions

Daughters of Charity Services operates as a family of charities across Britain, providing a diverse range of services to various communities in need of support, from working with Roma women and families in Glasgow, to providing home care to elderly people living alone in Westminster.

Each organisation is independently run, but forms a part of the Daughters of Charity Services family through their shared commitment to our Vincentian charism and values, and a commitment to collaborate in order to best serve those experiencing poverty, exclusion or isolation. It is this shared commitment, borne of our Catholic heritage and the philosophy and practice of St Vincent de Paul, which helps shape our common identity.

Our organisation serves to safeguard and deepen the Vincentian ethos of our member charities and operates as a central resource hub, assisting with infrastructural needs and best practice in governance, in order to enable each of our member charities to best serve the needs of the respective communities. We also seek to respond to new poverties as they arise.

We are seeking individuals who can bring their professional knowledge, dedication and passion to the Daughters of Charity Services Board of Trustees through the appointment of individuals who have a background in one of the following areas:

  • Social Care

  • Law

As an equal opportunities employer, we welcome applications from all suitably qualified persons. In seeking to ensure that our Board reflects the communities we serve, we would particularly welcome applications from black and minority ethnic (BME) candidates, people with disabilities, LGBTQ+ persons and people aged 40 or under. All appointments will be made on merit.

Board meetings are held four times per year, with visits to our member charities strongly encouraged. If you are interested in one of these vacancies, please send your CV with a covering letter to

recruitment@dcmillhill.org by the closing date of 4 August 2023.
