Role

Gateway is looking to recruit two new Board Members.

Gateway is one of the leading charitable organisations in Highland, providing a diverse range of services in Inverness City, Easter Ross and Wester Ross.

We provide services for vulnerable adults including Care at Home, Community Housing Support, and supported accommodation.

We are looking to recruit an additional two Board members to join our experienced team of Directors. This is an exciting time for Gateway and members find their work rewarding in so many ways.

As a Director, you will play a crucial role in guiding our organisation through developing the strategy, ensuring we uphold our values and achieve our mission, and making a tangible and positive impact on people’s lives. Our Directors are critical friends whilst providing the senior team with constructive challenge.

We are specifically looking to appoint members based on demonstrable experience and skills in one or more of the following areas:

• Legal and Risk Management;
• Healthcare/Social Care Experience;
• Financial;
• Fundraising.

Your expertise in any of these areas will be invaluable in steering our strategic direction and maintaining robust governance.

Being a Chairty this is a voluntary position, however travel expenses to meetings would be paid.

Board meetings are held quarterly, lasting approximately two hours, and are normally held on a Monday during working hours. These meetings are held in person at our Head Office in Inverness, although we can accommodate a hybrid arrangement to meet the suitable person’s needs.

If you have the skills, interest, and time to commit to the organisation we would love to hear from you.
