We are looking for up to four new trustees to join the board of Pregnant Then Screwed (PTS) at a time of bold ambition and deep reflection. As we mark a decade of campaigning, advocacy, and community-building, we are looking for individuals who share our commitment to ending the motherhood penalty and who bring lived or learned experience of structural inequality.
This is a unique opportunity to shape the future of a movement that is unapologetically feminist, rooted in lived experience, and driven by a vision of a more equitable society for working mothers and parents. Whether you are an experienced trustee or stepping into governance for the first time, we welcome your voice, your insight, and your passion.
We welcome perspectives shaped by various experiences, whether personal, professional, or through witnessing challenges faced by others.
