Since 2019, Table 11 have been building a grassroots community of folks in the United

Kingdom. After being featured on Good Grief? with Reverend Richard Coles on

Channel 4 in 2022, we experienced extraordinary demand and have now opened up

the community for others in their 20s, 30s and 40s who are impacted by grief and

expanded the offering across the United Kingdom, with tables operating in

communities including London, Birmingham, York, Windsor, Surrey and more.

Having just become a Community Interest Company (CIC), we are working to expand

our impact and are looking to recruit a new team member to our board who will take

on the role of Finance Director. It is a voluntary position and an exciting opportunity

for a colleague with a finance background to make a real difference supporting

those who have experienced the loss of a close loved one at a young age.

The key relationships are with the Table 11 Executive Director and Table 11 Operations

Director, and as a member of the Board. Because we are a new and growing

organisation, the individual will have an opportunity to build, shape, and define the

role to ensure maximum impact.
