Role

We are excited to have the opportunity to recruit new members to join our Board in 2025.

We are focused on identifying new board members who are committed to making a positive impact on the lives of people seeking asylum and a refugee background living in Scotland.

The Board of Directors is ultimately accountable for the smooth operation of the organisation, ensuring its long-term financial stability and the delivery of its charitable objectives. It needs to provide leadership, set strategic direction, exercise effective control and monitor performance. Companies House publicly lists our board members, and the Office of the Scottish Charitable Regulator lists charitable trustees.

The board meets every 6 weeks, either face-to-face, via online platforms, or as a hybrid of the two.

The duration of Board meetings is usually less than 2 hours.

All relevant papers are forwarded in advance by email and can be printed in hard copy before the meeting.

Being a trustee is a voluntary role, but Community InfoSource will cover relevant out-of-pocket travel and other expenses that would allow you to attend meetings.

All new trustees are appointed subject to a six-month probationary period
