Role

Join the Board of St Andrew’s First Aid and help shape the future of a national charity that saves lives across Scotland.

With over 140 years of heritage and a clear public purpose, St Andrew’s First Aid provides first aid training and event first aid services nationwide. We are entering an exciting period of strategic renewal — strengthening governance, modernising how we work and building long-term resilience.

We are seeking new Charity Trustees to join our Board at this important stage of our journey.

The Opportunity

Charity Trustees play a strategic, non-executive role. Working collectively, the Board:

• Sets the long-term strategic direction of the charity
• Provides oversight of performance, finance and risk
• Ensures strong governance and regulatory compliance
• Acts as steward of the charity’s assets, reputation and values

Trustees work in partnership with the Chief Executive and Executive Leadership Team, remaining independent of day-to-day operations while providing constructive challenge and support.

Who We’re Looking For

We welcome individuals with senior-level experience and sound judgement who are motivated by purpose and public impact.

We are particularly interested in expertise in:

• Governance, compliance and organisational assurance
• Finance, audit, risk or asset management
• People, organisational development or volunteer leadership
• Business development, marketing, communications or digital
• Medical or clinical experience

Previous board experience is welcome but not essential. We value transferable skills, independent thinking and a genuine commitment to our mission.

Commitment

• Four Board meetings per year (normally in person in Glasgow)
• Occasional additional meetings, briefings or events as required

Trustees receive a structured induction and ongoing support.

If you want to contribute your experience, perspective and judgement to a respected national charity at a pivotal moment of development, we would be delighted to hear from you.
