Job description

The Thalidomide Trust is a unique organisation supporting beneficiaries, now all in their 60s, born with disabilities as a result of their mother taking the drug, thalidomide, during pregnancy.

They are a remarkable group of people, who have achieved a great deal despite often living with extreme levels of disability, including limb damage, hearing and visual impairment, brain and sensory impairment and damage to internal organs.

Our beneficiaries have very complex and varied needs which are increasing as they age. We have gained an in-depth understanding of their evolving needs through our high level of contact with beneficiaries and our structured programme of three-yearly Holistic Needs Assessments (HNAs).

We are seeking a qualified barrister or solicitor with at least 15 year’s post qualification legal experience to join our Board of Trustees* as a Legal Trustee, bringing sound legal judgement, empathy and a strong commitment to improving the lives of our beneficiaries.

You will bring:

  • Understanding of Court of Protection issues and challenges.
  • Experience of working with older people, disabled people or people with a cognitive impairment.
  • Warmth, empathy and a non-judgmental approach.
  • Well-developed interpersonal skills and an ability to develop positive relationships with individuals from a wide range of backgrounds.
  • Judicial Experience is desirable

Why join us?

Commitment

  • This is a voluntary role, but reasonable expenses incurred will be reimbursed.
  • London / St Neots / Hybrid
  • You should also be willing and able to devote approximately 15 – 20 days (plus travel time) per annum to the Trust –and specifically be available to attend three full day board meetings and one morning virtual meeting.

Interested?

If you have the skills, experience, and motivation to help shape the future of the Trust, we would love to hear from you.

More information:

  • No contact from agencies or media sales.
  • We particularly welcome applications from the BAME community and people living with disabilities.
  • You can find out more about us by visiting www.thalidomidetrust.org

If you would like to discuss the role further, please contact Katy Singh, Chief Executive on 01480 474 074 and if you would like to discuss this opportunity with another Trustee please contact us at or 01480 474 074 and we will make the necessary arrangements.

Application deadline: Wednesday 30 September 2026 at 9am.

Date for Interview: Wednesday 14 October 2026 (Central London).

* Following a restructuring exercise in January 2018, your formal title will be a Director of the Thalidomide Trust Company. However, you will operate as a charitable Trustee and will be governed by the Charity Commission.
