North Edinburgh Childcare is a leading organisation dedicated to providing high-quality and inclusive childcare services to families in our vibrant community.
Applicants with or without previous Board experience are welcome, but you should be prepared to take the role of Trustee within the organisation, giving approximately one half day every two months on average. (This may vary depending on any specific projects or sub-committees.)
Our staff team carry out all operational activity and actively support the Board. The role of Trustee is to bring their expert knowledge and strategic guidance to support and develop the charity.
Why Join Our Charity?
We welcome anyone who wants to make a positive contribution to our charitable purpose: to support families in lifting themselves and their children out of poverty—someone who has communications and marketing experience, income generation experience, or legal experience. Regardless of your experience, your enthusiasm to support the work of the charity and the other trustees is important.
You will be supporting families considered to be living in one of the most deprived areas in Edinburgh. You will be supporting the charity to deliver high-quality services that support children to close the attainment gap between them and their more affluent peers. You will support people in achieving a qualification that helps them lift themselves and their families out of poverty.
The Chair of Trustees is a key role in our organisation. Your leadership and commitment will ensure we continue to provide and extend our range of much-needed support and services to our beneficiaries.
Please apply through Reach in the first instance. Just so you know, applicants are welcome to ask for an informal chat with our convener in the first instance.
