Become Chair of the Board of Trustees

EMMS International is Scotland's oldest international healthcare charity. We work in India, Malawi, Nepal, Rwanda, Scotland, and Zambia. We maintain the highest standards in all our work, and our donors include the UK Government, generous philanthropists, trusts, foundations, and many general individuals.

Our Board has 8 trustees, and seeks an 9th, to be Chair. The Board meets quarterly, and the Chair agrees the Agenda with the CEO, chairs Board meetings, may be a member of our Finance, Audit and Investment Committee, and line-manages the CEO.

The Royal British Legion Scotland (RBLS) is the largest ex-service charity in Scotland with more than 135 branches, 59 clubs and 20,000 members. Since 1921 we have been supporting and assisting veterans and their dependants in Scotland through a range of welfare services, practical support, comradeship, commemorations, and Remembrance.

This is an exciting and challenging opportunity for an experienced professional to join the National Board of Trustees at a crucial time in their strategic planning. You will have overall responsibility for all aspects of financial management, working closely with other members of the Board, the Chief Executive, and the Accounts Management team, to safeguard the organisation's finances, ensuring timely and accurate financial reporting to the National Board of Trustees.

It’s an exciting time at EMMS International, with the creation of two new roles to develop our income generation capacity. We’re looking for a highly motivated, experienced fundraiser to join the small, yet highly efficient team.

Leading on creating new philanthropic relationships, developing existing support from mid-level donors, and growing strategic partnerships, you will enjoy creating and implementing plans to cultivate and steward new and existing donors.

EMMS International is Scotland’s longest serving healthcare charity, with programmes focusing on the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. Our current programmes take place in Malawi, Inda, Nepal, Zambia. Rwanda, and Scotland.
