Board Director, ABI
Are you passionate about making a real difference in people's lives? If so, we are looking for voluntary Board members to help guide our work in delivering vital services to people living with an acquired brain injury. Acquired Brain Injury Ireland (ABI Ireland) Acquired Brain Injury Ireland is dedicated to serving and empowering individuals who have experienced brain injury. Through a combination of personalised rehabilitation programmes and dedicated advocacy, the organisation supports over 1,300 brain injury survivors and their families each year, to achieve their personal goals and work towards greater independence. Services are provided across a range of environments, including in people’s own homes, community settings, group settings and assisted living homes, ensuring a holistic, biopsychosocial model of rehabilitation. ABI Ireland operates as a Section 39–funded organisation, with the majority of its income—approximately €22 million—provided through the HSE to deliver core services. ABI Ireland is dedicated to delivering exemplary services to individuals in need, consistently adhering to the highest standards of quality and professionalism. The organisation operates within robust governance frameworks, including accreditation by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF), oversight by HIQA, and compliance with the Charities Triple Lock Standard. Furthermore, ABI Ireland maintains ongoing alignment with the standards set by the HSE and the Charities Governance Code, ensuring sustained excellence and accountability throughout all aspects of service provision. ABI Ireland works in partnership with its sister organisation, Anvers Housing Association, an approved housing body, to provide a housing with support model, enhancing quality of life for individuals affected by acquired brain injury. Through collaborative initiatives, they jointly focus on delivering specialist services, providing accessible and supported housing, and facilitating community-based rehabilitation to empower those impacted by brain injury. Anvers Housing Association specialises in providing high-quality, accessible accommodation tailored specifically for people with acquired brain injury. Their housing solutions are designed to promote independent living while ensuring residents receive appropriate support. Adhering to the governance standards for AHBs (AHBRA) and the Charity Regulator’s Governance Code, Anvers collaborates closely with ABI Ireland to integrate housing provision with rehabilitation services and community engagement initiatives. Both organisations operate under a unified leadership and governance structure. This integrated approach ensures strong alignment across their activities, fosters a cohesive strategic direction, and guarantees the consistent delivery of high-quality, person-centred support for individuals living with acquired brain injury. Acquired Brain Injury Ireland invites applications from two highly experienced and values-driven professionals to join the Board. Successful candidates will demonstrate a strong commitment to excellence, integrity, and the advancement of person-centred support for individuals living with acquired brain injury.

Experience contributing to or overseeing structured governance processes—such as Finance & Audit, Quality & Risk, or strategic planning forums—is particularly advantageous. Successful applicants will demonstrate values-driven leadership, sound judgment, and a collaborative style consistent with the organisation’s person-centred, mission-focused ethos.
