Luminate is seeking 4 trustees to join our Board. Luminate is a leadership, development, advocacy and influencing organisation. Set up in 2012, the organisation has developed rapidly to meet our vision that all older people in Scotland have the opportunity to access high quality arts and creative activities, whatever their background and circumstances and wherever they live. In that time we have held seven festivals, and we now provide an extensive year-round creative and development programme working with multiple partners across the country.

We are a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO), and we have a committed and skills Board of Trustees. The Board meets quarterly, and has a Finance & Risk Subcommittee which also meets quarterly. Meetings take place in Edinburgh, however online attendance is possible and we have Trustees based across Scotland.

Current Trustees come from a range of backgrounds and we welcome applications from people of all ages, and from all communities across Scotland. We are particularly interested in hearing from people of colour, from professional artists, and from people with experience of national policy roles in Scotland.

We are recruiting for a new Communications and Policy Manager to help Luminate communicate the positive impact and value of creative ageing work in Scotland.

This is an important role, with responsibility for planning and implementing a range of communications, PR, audience development and marketing activities in support of Luminate’s strategic goals.

You will research, monitor and analyse policy developments affecting the creative lives of older people in Scotland, and plan, implement and support advocacy and influencing strategies to achieve Luminate’s vision.

If you’re someone with a track record of designing and delivering communications activity that has impact, an interest in the arts, and an understanding of current social and political issues and the workings of Parliament and Government, we’d love to hear from you.
