Description

Art in Healthcare currently has two vacancies on our Board of Directors and would like to use this opportunity to broaden the range of experiences, perspectives and skills that inform our governance. We encourage applications from all backgrounds and communities.

We are looking for individuals who are interested in the work of Art in Healthcare, align with our values and want to help us to achieve our aims. We are particularly keen to hear from individuals with experience and knowledge of charity fundraising and income generation.

We do not require you to have former experience of serving on a Board and can offer a full induction and on-going support and training, as required.

The Board of Directors typically meets four times per annum, usually in central Edinburgh. We also host at least one away day for trustees and staff and encourage trustees to become involved in a sub-group such as Art Collection, Finance or Policy. We can support remote, online participation. We encourage trustees to attend openings and events.

Please note that this is a voluntary role. Trustees do not receive any remuneration, but we can cover out of pocket expenses such as travel and childcare.
