Role

The role

SCVO are looking for two passionate and strategic individuals to join SCVO's Board of Trustees. This is a highly rewarding role, offering the chance to shape SCVO’s strategic direction and help shape the future of Scotland’s voluntary sector. You will contribute to high-level decision making, and support the leadership team, and safeguard SCVO’s long-term sustainability. Trustees will contribute to governance, compliance, and key organisational events, while ensuring adherence to legislation and robust financial controls. You will give strong strategic insight, an understanding of Scotland's voluntary sector, and a commitment to SCVO’s mission. This role requires a time commitment across quarterly meetings and key internal and external events such as The Scottish Charity Awards and The Gathering.

The person

The ideal candidates will have a strong belief in the value of the voluntary sector in Scotland and SCVO’s contribution to it. While previous experience as a trustee is beneficial, it’s not essential. Key qualities include strategic planning, performance monitoring, and effective team collaboration. Trustees should demonstrate good governance knowledge, sound judgement, and a values-driven approach. An understanding of the voluntary sector’s context in Scotland, coupled with the ability to challenge constructively and work collectively, is crucial to support SCVO’s mission and long-term vision.
