SOC 3531 is an eligible occupation, but we classified this role with low confidence (42% match). If the code is right — and Gloucester Charities Trust is a licensed sponsor — it should qualify, but double-check the occupation eligibility rules against the actual role.
About the role
GCT is a forward thinking and ambitious charity delivering housing and care services to Older People with a range of support needs, including those who live with dementia. We offer a network of services (our circle of care) that blend in response to the circumstances of the needs of those we assist. We are also commercial landlords and own and manage a coffee shop.
Unusually, we have a vacancy on our Board of Trustees so we are seeking an individual who can contribute to the strategic direction and oversight of our diverse and expanding organisation and, ideally, someone who has the relevant skills outlined below along with a social conscience, and the commitment to make a difference.
You will be joining a focused team that contribute to the delivery of our five-year Strategic Plan which presents both new challenges and opportunities. We work in a challenging environment where the landscape is continually changing. Budgets for support services have been drastically cut and are still reducing in real terms. This requires us to consider carefully how to protect and develop our income streams and create greater efficiency without compromising on quality. A key role for the Board, working with the CEO and Senior Leadership Team, is to determine the priorities in these circumstances.
Skills
We are keen to attract applicants who share our values and ethos and are committed to making a difference for the vulnerable people we serve. We are specifically targeting individuals with experience or skills in the following areas:
- Business ownership / management
- Financial / legal acumen
Please consider this opportunity carefully. If you have the motivation, vision, commitment, and enthusiasm to join us in this exciting and challenging role – apply today!

About sponsorship for this role
Does this job guarantee visa sponsorship?
Not necessarily. Gloucester Charities Trust holds a sponsor licence, but sponsorship for a specific hire is always the employer's decision. Be upfront in your application that you'll require it.
What salary is needed for this role to be eligible?
The offer must clear both the general threshold and the SOC 3531 going rate of £52,400. New-entrant and shortage discounts can lower it.
