Home-Start Glasgow North and North Lanarkshire (HSGNNL) is a well-recognised charity supporting families, with at least one child under 5, living in North Glasgow and North Lanarkshire. The families we support face challenges such as the impact of poor mental health, isolation, physical health issues, domestic abuse, navigating the complex asylum process whilst dealing with the impact of trauma, and multiple births. HSGNNL receive referrals from a variety of sources including Health Visitors, Social Work and Education. Families can also self-refer.

Whilst volunteer home-visiting remains at the core of our service, we also offer a variety of other supports including groups, intensive family support, school support and a new model of support working alongside Dad Matters UK.

HSGNNL are expanding their Board of Trustees and are looking to recruit new members to join their team. We are looking for individuals who have a passion for supporting parents and their young families with skillsets such as social care, employability, marketing, health and safety, fundraising and marketing. We are also particularly interested in recruiting for more specialist roles, which include adult and child protection, legal lead and a treasurer.

Charity Trusteeships can be incredibly rewarding as well as supporting personal and professional development. Along with your fellow Trustees and the Director of the organisation, you will set the long-term strategic direction of HSGNNL and provide advice and guidance to the other Trustees and the Senior Management Team in your specialist field where applicable. The Trustees ensure that performance is monitored and managed through internal controls and delegation and approve key strategies and policies to allow the organisation to achieve its objectives.

The Board of Trustees currently meets either online or in person every 6 weeks (early evening), although this is currently being reviewed. Trustees will also be asked to support sub-groups as required. The initial appointment is for a 3-year term with the opportunity for reappointment.

The is a voluntary position but expenses are offered.

Home-Start GN & NL works to support families with young children who are facing difficulties. We recognise the ongoing challenges of raising our children in the safest and most nurturing of environments whilst coping with the stresses of ill health, isolation, disrupted relationships, poor & insecure housing, financial insecurity, trauma, abuse, and loss. We are passionate and committed to improving the lives of the children and families we work alongside. We understand the importance of early support and the benefits positive, trusting, relationships can have on family life including an understanding of the impact and complexity of poverty and intergenerational trauma. Our services focus on empowerment, and we want to give children the best possible start in life and therefore we support children and families individually according to their needs.

After many years on the board our current Chair of the Board of Trustees is standing down and we are therefore seeking a dynamic and experienced new Chair to help guide us as we continue to deliver our ambitious strategic priorities and goals to transform the lives of children.

Applicants should have the values, experience, and passion to lead at a time when our support is needed more than ever. The successful candidate will be inspiring and inclusive and will provide strategic leadership and direction to a strong and experienced Board of Trustees to ensure the ongoing delivery of governance for Home- Start Glasgow North and North Lanarkshire.

They will also be expected to work in partnership with and provide support to the Director as well as maintaining a relationship with staff, trustees and stakeholders. Experience of operating at a senior level in Corporate, Public or Third sector environments would be an advantage. Significant experience as a Trustee, particularly as Chair or Vice Chair, would also be beneficial, as would strong knowledge of the demands and complexities of board-level Governance. The position requires excellent collaboration and interpersonal skills.

Home-Start GN & NL understands the importance of representation and is eager to ensure that the Board reflects the families, stakeholders, and staff which it represents and welcomes expressions of interest from all individuals who have the experience and expertise needed to help direct and shape the organisation for the future. The board particularly welcomes people with lived experience of discrimination from ethnically diverse communities, LGBTQIA+ communities and those with a disability.

This is an unpaid position; however reasonable travel expenses are reimbursed.

The Board is currently made up of 8 members and meets one evening every 6 weeks. Approximately 2-3 days will be required each week.
