Do you want to improve your personal wellbeing?... and your career prospects? Do you want to play a role in improving the lives of others and the Clydesdale area? If the answer is “YES” then volunteering as a Management Committee member with us might be the thing for you!

We are looking to recruit people as voluntary committee members. We need people who are motivated by a positive desire to work with us in achieving our Vision of ‘Quality homes and excellent services for all - for today and the future’.

We are a Registered Social Landlord and Scottish Charity with 738 affordable rented homes across rural South Lanarkshire and the Clyde Valley. We have high tenant satisfaction levels and a track record of strong performance. Our current challenges include improving the energy efficiency of our homes, supporting tenants with money problems and establishing a community hub.

We need new committee members who have a range of skills and personal qualities who will strengthen our leadership in achieving the best we can for tenants and other service users. We would welcome interest from individuals with a commitment to our objectives and who have appropriate skills, but in particular would welcome applications from people with experience and knowledge in one or more of the following areas:

· Property maintenance/construction

· Governance

· Finance

· Tenant/community engagement

Although Management Committee work is unpaid, we will reimburse out of pocket expenses, including care and travelling costs. We also provide comprehensive induction training as well as supporting ongoing personal development. The main reward though is knowing that you are part of a team that is helping to improve the lives of others.

Our Management Committee meets monthly in Lanark (usually held on the last Wednesday of the month – between 6.00 and 8.00pm).

St Andrew's First Aid Board of Trustees are looking for new members for our Social Enterprise Board to work alongside the chair, vice-chair and other Board Members to oversee and support our Chief Executive and Managing Director to deliver an exciting business strategy and assist the Charity in maintaining its proud reputation in changing times.

The Director(s) will have the ability to assist the Management Team, Employees and Volunteers to make St Andrew's First Aid an even stronger organisation carrying out vital work in Scotland.

The board is currently made up of 8 members each offering a different skill-set designed to support the on-going governance, needs and strategic development aims of the organisation. Becoming a Board Member will not only allow you to play an important part in our growth, but will also bring many non-financial rewards to you; career enhancement, personal satisfaction in knowing you are part of St Andrew's First Aid's peer-less service, the ability to use your skills for a tremendous cause and countless other money can't buy benefits.

St Andrew's First Aid has a well-established Board and staff team, however, we recognize that we need new views and skillsets to continue our journey. We are seeking passionate, Director-level candidates who can bring diversity to our discussions, commercial awareness to decision making, identify new opportunities, open doors through great connections and add enthusiasm to our projects.

This non-paying, yet pivotal role has a requirement for a minimum of 4 Board Meetings per year and participation in ad hoc projects that match the skills and aspirations of the incumbent. Meetings are held in Glasgow.

Qualifications:

You will almost certainly be degree educated and may well have completed fundraising qualifications with the Institute of Fundraising.

Role location:

The job is located in our Head Office in Edinburgh. Occasional travel elsewhere in the UK or abroad is expected.
