Our members provide local residents from all backgrounds, countries and cultures access to a variety of information, services, training and activities to fulfil our vision for an integrated community in the south east of Glasgow.

As a network, we create the opportunity for our members to connect & work together and support what they do. We do this by sharing information about their activities; providing access to training and resources; and acting as a hub for community integration work in the south east of Glasgow.

In this role, you will help shape the direction of the network and support SEIN to achieve its aims; connecting SEIN members, and furthering community integration activity in the south east of Glasgow (read Our Mission).

Becoming the new Chair

Now is an exciting time to become the Chair of SEIN as the organisation enters a new phase with active and growing membership. We have recently completed our 3 year strategy and welcomed 2 new board members.

What we can offer our new Chair

• Support and guidance from our current interim chair (who is staying on the board)

Time Commitment

Time commitment is a big question for most people when thinking about joining a board; especially in the role of Chair. We hope that the time you give to SEIN will be rewarding and beneficial to you, however, we will do our best to make sure the role can work around your life, work and other commitments.

We would like the SEIN board to reflect the diversity of the network, and welcome interest and applications from people from all ages, stages and backgrounds.
