Join the Grampian Opportunities Board of Trustees

Help Shape a Brighter Future for People with Additional Support Needs, Mental Health Challenges, and Unpaid Carers

Are you passionate about creating positive change in your community? Do you believe everyone deserves the chance to thrive, be heard, and feel supported?

Grampian Opportunities is inviting committed, values‑driven individuals to join our Board of Trustees. This is a chance to play a meaningful role in strengthening opportunities for people with additional support needs, those experiencing mental health challenges, and the unpaid carers who support loved ones every day.

Unpaid carers are the backbone of our communities, often giving so much of themselves with little recognition. Our mission is to ensure they are supported, empowered, and able to maintain their own wellbeing while caring for others. As a Trustee, you’ll help guide that mission.

What You’ll Do as a Board Member

• Shape the strategic direction of the charity
• Provide strong, ethical governance
• Support financial sustainability and good stewardship
• Champion our mission within the community
• Contribute to key decisions that influence our future

This is a voluntary role, and reasonable expenses will be reimbursed.

We’re Looking For

You don’t necessarily need previous board experience, your passion, perspective, and commitment matter most.

We especially welcome individuals with experience or interest in:

• Finance or accounting
• Health and social care
• Lived experience as an unpaid carer
• Fundraising, communications, or digital development

We are deeply committed to diversity and inclusion. People of all ages, backgrounds, identities, and lived experiences are encouraged to apply.

Time Commitment

Around nine board meetings per year, plus occasional sub‑committee, agile, or development sessions.

Why Join Us?

• Make a real difference in the lives of people across Aberdeenshire
• Build leadership and board‑level experience
• Join a supportive, purpose‑driven team
• Help drive meaningful social change
