THE ROLE OF A TRUSTEE AT NCCH
Being a trustee of the National Centre for Creative Health (NCCH) will be an opportunity to help shape the future of Creative Health in the UK. This is a dynamic and expanding cross-sectoral space with a growing commitment from government as well as from statutory bodies and community organisations in health, social care and the arts and culture. As a trustee of the NCCH, you will be part of a lively and engaged group of people with varied and rich experience and knowledge.
Our current priorities mean that we would particularly welcome applications from people who have experience and knowledge of social care and have held a leadership role in a local authority in relation to social care.
We encourage trustees to offer support to NCCH in particular areas of expertise but also welcome the other ways in which people’s individual skills and experiences can inform the work that we do.
NCCH trustees have a legal obligation to act in the best interests of the NCCH and in accordance with NCCH’s governing document.

Every trustee is appointed for a term of three years. Trustees meet 4 times a year. Meetings are held online, and we have one face-to-face ‘Awayday’ each year.
