About the role

This is a standout moment for the charity — a period of growth, momentum and bold ambition. We’re about to elevate our public presence, sharpen our story, and step into a new chapter of confidence and visibility.

To support these ambitions, we are seeking to appoint a trustee with strong graphic and brand design expertise to elevate and guide the strategic development of our charity’s narrative and visual identity. Alongside the legal obligations of being a trustee of a charity registered with OSCR, this trustee will play a pivotal role in shaping how our charity presents itself across print and digital platforms, whilst strategically working with our operations team to deliver a cohesive brand message across campaigns, events and public engagement.

Responsibilities

The Brand & Graphic Design Trustee will:

● Champion the organisation’s visual voice, advising the board on branding strategies, visual communication and how we present information effectively.

● Lead the development of the overarching creative vision for the charity, working closely with key stakeholders

● Develop and maintain the charity’s brand identity, ensuring consistency across all public-facing materials.

● Lead the definition of creative principles to ensure consistency and professionalism.

● Strategically guide the creation of materials and templates for a wide range of use cases - including digital, print, and in-person experiences.

● Ensure that visual content is inclusive, accessible, and aligned with the charity’s mission.

● Present ideas, design options and recommendations to the board or relevant sub-groups with clarity and confidence.

In addition, as a member of the DMT-DRSG board of trustees, you will be collectively responsible for:

● Ensuring the charity operates in line with its charitable purposes.

● Acting in the best interests of the charity and its beneficiaries.

● Ensuring the charity is well-managed, financially sustainable, and compliant with OSCR regulatory requirements.

● Contributing to strategic direction, risk management, and oversight of policies and performance.

● Attending board meetings and participating actively in discussions and decision-making.

● Upholding the charity’s values and promoting good governance, equality, and inclusion.

If you’re interested in joining our small, but passionate board of trustees, what we’re looking for in our next member is:

● Experience with strategic brand development or visual identity projects

● Proven experience in graphic design (portfolio or examples of work welcomed).

●Can communicate design concepts clearly to non-designers.

● Strong understanding of visual communication and branding strategies.

● Commitment to the aims, values, and good governance of the charity.

● Willingness to contribute actively and collaboratively at board level.

● Understanding of strategic thinking to support operational delivery.

This is an opportunity to shape something long-lasting — to help a charity find its voice, elevate its presence, and connect with audiences in new ways.
