Role

Be the change. Use your skills to tackle inequality, empower people and transform lives

About Us: The Health Agency is a community-led charity based in Wester Hailes, supporting over 2,000 people each year. We work alongside our community to reduce health inequalities and help people live longer, healthier, more fulfilling lives.

Our services provide information, advice and support to address the challenges our community faces, including poor mental health, long-term ill-health, food insecurity, and the effects of poverty and loneliness. By empowering people to take control of their wellbeing, we also strengthen our community’s resilience and capacity for change.

Current Opportunities: We are seeking two Trustees and a Treasurer to join our Board.

• Trustees: We welcome people from all backgrounds who can bring insight, commitment, and lived or professional experience to help shape our work. Skills in health, social care, governance, fundraising, or marketing are particularly valuable, but not essential. Training and support are provided.
• Treasurer: We are looking for a qualified accountant or senior finance professional to provide financial leadership and ensure good governance.

Commitment: Around 6 Board meetings a year, plus our AGM and Development Day. The Treasurer also chairs 6 Finance Sub-Committee meetings annually.

Why Join our Board: These voluntary roles offer the chance to grow your leadership skills, expand your networks, and play a meaningful part in a community-led charity. You’ll gain the satisfaction of seeing your time, skills and knowledge make a lasting difference in improving people’s health, wellbeing and quality of life.
