Help secure the future of one of Scotland’s most important maritime heritage assets.

The Unicorn Preservation Society (UPS) is seeking new Trustees to join our Board at an exciting and significant time in the organisation’s history.

HMS Unicorn is one of the world’s oldest surviving warships and a unique part of Scotland’s maritime heritage. The Society is responsible for safeguarding this extraordinary vessel and ensuring that it can continue to inspire, educate and engage visitors for generations to come.

We are currently overseeing a period of significant development, including:

• A multi-million-pound capital conservation project to secure the long-term future of HMS Unicorn.

• Work to address the organisation’s long-term financial sustainability, developing new partnerships, income streams and opportunities.

We are looking for Trustees who can bring skills, experience and enthusiasm to support this next chapter. These may have been acquired during employment, volunteering and/or home life.

We are particularly interested in hearing from people with experience in:

• Finance, accounting or audit

• Managing major capital projects, construction or infrastructure

• Human resources and organisational development

• Fundraising, philanthropy or income generation

• Heritage management, museums or conservation

However, we welcome applications from anyone who can bring relevant skills, experience, networks, curiosity and a commitment to our mission. Previous trustee or board experience is not required — we value people who can offer fresh perspectives and sound judgement, and we provide support and induction to help new Trustees succeed.

Future Chair Opportunity

We are also seeking one individual who has the interest and potential to become Chair of the Board in the future.

The successful candidate will initially join as a Trustee, gaining a full understanding of the Society and its priorities before taking on the Chair role at an appropriate point. Previous Chair experience is welcome but not essential; we are looking for someone with strong leadership skills, strategic insight and the ability to build effective relationships.

About the Role

As a Trustee, you will help to:

• Shape the future strategy of the Unicorn Preservation Society.

• Support the delivery of a once-in-a-generation conservation project.

• Ensure effective governance and long-term sustainability.

• Act as an ambassador for HMS Unicorn and the Society.

• Contribute your expertise and perspective to Board discussions.

The role is voluntary and not remunerated. The current time commitment is approximately 10 hours per month, including Board meetings, preparation, strategic discussions and occasional support for Society activities.

Appointments are for four-year terms, with the potential for reappointment. No trustee may serve over 12 years (whether over a single or fragmented period).

Who We Are Looking For

We are seeking people who:

• Care about protecting Scotland’s heritage.

• Can think strategically and contribute constructively.

• Bring professional expertise, networks or lived experience that can strengthen the Board.

• Are committed to collaborative working and good governance.

We are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive Board and welcome applications from people of all backgrounds. If you are enthusiastic about this opportunity but unsure whether you meet every requirement, we encourage you to get in touch.
