Volunteer Board Directors - Unpaid

Glasgow North East Carers Centre has been providing practical and emotional support to unpaid family carers for over 30 years, including Young Carers and their families. Our work helps carers feel supported, connected and empowered, enabling them to continue their vital role within our communities.

We are currently seeking new members to join our Board of Directors and help guide the future direction of the organisation. We are particularly keen to strengthen the Board with individuals who can contribute expertise in fundraising, financial management and income generation

As a Board Director, you will play an important role in setting our strategic priorities, ensuring good governance, and providing oversight and guidance on organisational policies and performance. Working alongside fellow Board members, you will help ensure the Centre remains sustainable, effective and responsive to the needs of unpaid carers.

Our current Board brings together a diverse range of skills, perspectives and experience from across the public, private, third sectors and those with direct experience of caring. 

While previous Board experience is welcome, it is not essential. We are looking for people who share our commitment to supporting unpaid carers and who can bring enthusiasm, insight and professional experience to our work.

This is a voluntary but highly rewarding role, offering the opportunity to:

• Make a meaningful difference to the lives of unpaid carers and their families
• Contribute to the strategic development of a respected local charity
• Develop valuable governance, leadership and decision-making skills
• Work alongside a dedicated and supportive Board and staff team
• Help strengthen the organisation's long-term sustainability and impact

Board Meetings are every in person every 6 weeks at our premises in North East Glasgow. A full induction and ongoing support will be provided.

If you would like to support a well-established organisation making a real difference in local communities, we would be particularly pleased to hear from you. Join us in ensuring unpaid carers across Glasgow North East continue to receive the support, recognition and opportunities they deserve.
