United St Saviour’s Charity is looking for new Trustees to join our Board. For almost 500 years, we’ve supported the people and communities of Southwark — and over the last decade we’ve nearly doubled our housing provision, delivered Appleby Blue (winner of the RIBA Stirling Prize, the UK’s most prestigious architecture award), and grown our voice and influence well beyond our borough.

As a Trustee, you’ll share collective responsibility for our governance, strategy and long-term stewardship, working alongside the Chair and fellow Trustees to help lead an ambitious ten-year plan: more homes for older people, deeper community investment, and a bigger national voice on housing and ageing.

“Being a Trustee here means acting as custodian of a 500-year-old organisation, while making the innovative, modern decisions that ensure we continue to evolve for the next 500.”

Martyn Craddock, Chief Executive

We’re looking for people with:

• A strong lived or learned understanding of Southwark and the communities we serve




• Strength in one or more of: housing & property, governance, community development, or finance




• No previous Trustee experience required — just integrity, curiosity, and a willingness to learn

Full details, including the Person Specification, are in the recruitment pack below. To apply, send a CV and covering letter to Alison Benzimra, Director of Strategy and Operations.
