As a Director, you will play a crucial role in guiding our organisation through developing the strategy, ensuring we uphold our values and achieve our mission, and making a tangible and positive impact on people’s lives. Our Directors are critical friends whilst providing the senior team with constructive challenge.

We are specifically looking to appoint members based on demonstrable experience and skills in one or more of the following areas:
