Role

Our Vision is for a society in which neurodivergent people are understood, accepted, treated fairly and valued.

We are looking for new Trustees who share our Vision and Purpose: to amplify neurodivergent voices and deliver exceptional services to support children and adults. 

We welcome applications from candidates who are passionate about neurodiversity, including those who can add value through lived experience. 

We are particularly keen to hear from candidates with senior-level strategic experience and knowledge in:

• The Scottish Education Sector or Health Sector, preferably with understanding and a track record in commissioning services
• Finance, Investment and Assurance

Previous or current experience of working as a non-executive director is also preferred.

Becoming a Trustee at the Donaldson Trust offers a unique opportunity to make a meaningful impact, contribute to strategy development, further develop your governance and strategic leadership skills, being part of bringing different perspectives together to enhance our work, help influence systemic change and improve lives. 

The commitment is to attend four Board meetings per year in person and four Committee meetings per year which take place remotely. All meetings are in the evenings, and there is one annual Strategy Day. The positions are non-remunerated.
