Help Building Bridges for Migrants & Refugees
Are you looking for a role that empowers individuals to lead full, connected, and independent lives?
We are looking for trustees to join our board and help guide the strategic direction and governance of our organisation. This is a rewarding opportunity to support a small but impactful charity making a real difference in the lives of migrants and refugees across Fife.
About Fife International Forum
Fife International Forum is a leading third-sector charity in Fife that works with migrants, refugees, and partner organisations to provide holistic, professional, and high-quality services. We provide person-centred support, and deliver Employability Projects including the Pre-Academy, and thematic workshops addressing barriers to employment and tackling child poverty. Our services also include welfare support such as benefits advice, housing assistance, health and family support, as well as collaboration with partners on education, legal, and immigration issues. In addition, we run conversational cafés for New Scots to promote community integration and inclusion.
A human rights approach is at the heart of our work, fostering a positive and inclusive community for development and integration. Our services are not just about integration support, but about making everyone feel welcome and building a sense of community for all New Scots.
What Does a Trustee Do?
The Board of Trustees is integral to governing, shaping, and growing the future of our organisation and services. By working closely with the team, you will help ensure that the charity is solvent, well-run, and delivers charitable outcomes for the benefit of the people who need it.
Key Responsibilities include:
• Shaping and supporting the organisation's strategic direction.
• Overseeing governance, risk and regulatory compliance (including OSCR obligations).
• Championing accessibility and inclusion across Fife.
• Advocating for the charity in the wider community and supporting fundraising initiatives.
• Supporting our dedicated staff and volunteers in achieving their goals.
The board meet around four days per year. For some roles, further days may be added, up to a maximum of eight days per year – this is decided by the Chair and Trustees.
Further information on the role, responsibilities, and duties is available on the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator Website.
