Trans Research Partnership Trustees

The Trans Learning Partnership (TLP, https://www.the-tlp.org.uk/) is in the process of evolving into a new, independent charity: the Trans Research Partnership (TRP). This transition will be completed by the end of 2025.

As part of this transition, we’re recruiting up to five founding trustees to help shape the future of TRP. We have already received a number of good applications and are now turning our focus specifically to recruiting those with charity leadership and governance experience.

TRP will be a trans-led research charity that centres trans voices and produces rigorous, community-led research to inform policy, practice, and public understanding. Our values include trans leadership, intersectional justice, ethical rigour, collaboration, safety, autonomy, imagination, and hope. Our board will be majority trans, but we welcome applications from qualified cis people.

We’re looking for people who:

• Are committed to trans liberation and TRP’s mission.
• Can contribute time and skills to setting up a new charity.
• Bring experience in charity governance, charity leadership and fundraising.

We especially welcome applications from the global majority, those with working-class backgrounds, and others underrepresented in charity leadership.

Time commitment: ~1–2 days/month. Meetings are remote-first. Expenses reimbursed. Training and mentorship provided.

To apply: Send a short expression of interest (written, audio, or video – max 1000 words or 5 minutes) and a brief CV, LinkedIn profile, or portfolio to [email protected]. See recruitment pack for more details on https://www.the-tlp.org.uk/get-involved/.

Interviews: likely 30th September and 1st October (online)
