Lutheran Care - Board Member

Company overview Founded in 1969 by a pioneering group of women, Lutheran Care has grown from grassroots beginnings into a respected, multi-faceted organisation. Our work has always been anchored in advocacy, equity and compassion—standing alongside people experiencing vulnerability, hardship and injustice.

Today, we continue that legacy by supporting individuals, families and communities who may otherwise fall through the cracks, while ensuring their voices are heard and their dignity upheld. Our work is grounded in the belief that every person deserves to feel seen, supported and valued.

Role Description

We are seeking two passionate, values driven and aligned individuals to join our committed Board of Directors, united by a shared purpose to strengthen community wellbeing and advance social justice.
