Trustees

Are you passionate about a fairer, more inclusive society?  Would you like to join an innovative, compassionate charity that’s leading the way in tackling the causes and consequences of homelessness?

If so, apply now to join our Board of Trustees!

About us

Our values-led and relationship-based services support people excluded from family, home, work, or communities.  As need for our services has grown, so have we, and we’re looking for new trustees to contribute to our vision and five-year plan.

About the role

Our Board of Trustees are responsible for overseeing our governance, setting our strategy, and ensuring that we’re accountable and administered effectively.

We currently hold 2-hour Board meetings every six weeks, which you can join in-person or online.  You will also have the opportunity to attend further internal and external events for learning and connection.

About you

We’d like to enhance our board to better reflect the diverse individuals and communities we work alongside, so we welcome applications from all backgrounds. Cyrenians is a place for learning, innovating and connecting, so whether you’re already an experienced trustee, or taking your first step, we’d love to hear from you.

Just some examples of the experience or expertise you may bring include:

• Equality, diversity and inclusion
• Third sector leadership
• Digital strategy
• Social housing
• Legal
• Finance

You may bring different skills and strengths – more important is your passion to use your skills and experience in guiding and supporting us as we tackle the causes and consequences of homelessness.

Next steps

Please submit your CV and covering letter to peopleteam@cyrenians.scot telling us:

• Why you’d like to be a Cyrenians trustee
• What key skills and expertise you bring

If it’s easier for you to send your application in another format, such as video, slide deck or voice notes we’re open to that!

Closing date for this vacancy is 12pm on Monday 28^th October.

Interviews will be held week beginning 4^th November.
