Role

The Relationships Scotland Network is the largest provider of family and relationship support in the country.

Around 20,000 people benefit from this work each year. The Relationships Scotland National Board is looking to recruit a new chair with the skills and experience to act as a figurehead for our organisation, to lead the Board of Trustees while promoting good governance and provide effective and empowering line management support for our CEO. This role would include four board meetings a year (currently a mix of in person and online), along with four online Office Bearer meetings each year, and our AGM. We want our Board to reflect the diversity of the modern communities we work with, and value the benefits of having different experience and points of view on our Board.
