Could you help decide how National Lottery money supports communities in Scotland?

We are recruiting four new Scotland Committee members for an initial period of up to four years. The Scotland Committee sets the strategic direction and policy framework for our work. It oversees effectiveness and impact and takes strategic funding decisions. We are looking for additional members who will add to the broad base of knowledge, skills and experience of the existing Committee.

We are a place-based and relational funder, so it is vital that our Scotland Committee reflects this approach. In our recruitment, we will seek to achieve a balance of membership which is diverse and inclusive, representing the communities we serve.

We are looking for candidates with:

• An understanding of and interest in the Scottish social, cultural and political landscape and the role of the voluntary and community sector in it
• Experience and understanding of working with and for communities to deliver local priorities
• The ability to understand complex issues and make decisions taking into account competing demands
• An understanding and commitment to the principles required to hold a public post of this nature

This is a significant opportunity to be involved in an organisation transforming people’s lives. If you believe you have the background and personal qualities needed, we would be delighted to hear from you.
