We are looking for Trustees to join our Board

Our Association oversees and promotes a diverse range of activities within the Southside Community Centre. Situated in central Edinburgh, the Centre serves the diverse local community. Its activities also attract individuals from across the city and South-East Scotland. Supported by major grant-funding from a broad range of organisations, including sizable financial support from the National Lottery, the Association is currently extending the use of the Centre’s facilities to more community activities. A major opportunity has emerged to develop the Centre as part of the recently issued Community Centre Strategy issued by the City of Edinburgh Council. We now wish to take advantage of this Council initiative to support a greater range of ways with which to enhance the well-being of the community.

The Association is led by a Board of Trustees. We are seeking to recruit a small number of motivated individuals to help govern our growing charity. We are particularly interested in receiving applications from those with specialist knowledge, skills and experience in:

• Community learning, development and stakeholder engagement
• Business or legal background
• Governance and leadership
• Strategic planning
• Finance

This is an exciting time to join our charity as we have celebrated various successes over the past two years including: recruiting our first Chief Executive, extending our community centre opening hours to include weekends, expanding the range of services we deliver, and significantly increasing the amount of external grant funding we receive. We look forward to continuing to achieve further success as we continue to develop our services, including re-launching our new in-house community café and developing a long-term strategic plan.

We are keen that our Board reflects our diverse local community and we therefore welcome individuals from all minority and disadvantaged groups.

This is therefore a challenging and rewarding time to join our charity as we look towards the future. Over coming months, we need to: agree a new lease arrangements with our landlord, City of Edinburgh Council, explore and decide upon the long-term future of how our building is managed, while continuing to sustain and grow the range of services we currently provide.

Registers of Scotland (RoS) manages 23 land, property and other legal registers which are a critical asset for the Scottish economy. We aim to provide the best public service for Scotland and are on a mission to make some of the oldest public land registers in the world into some of the most modern. We are committed to providing the best service to our customers through the creation of award-winning digital services, supported by the latest in cloud and AI technology.

If you join our advisory Board you will be joining an organisation that supports our colleagues by offering a range of modern work policies and workspaces, as well as encouraging a stimulating, inclusive, diverse, and equitable work environment, which we believe is crucial to achieving our mission. We are proud to celebrate our We Invest in People Gold Award, Investors in Young People Silver Award and We Invest in Wellbeing Platinum Award, alongside our zero gender pay gap and our status as a Disability Confident, and Race Equality Matters employer. We are a welcoming community that functions on supportive practices such as Agile Coaches, Business Analysts, UX specialists and more. Our team is ambitious, acts with integrity and demonstrates commitment to progress and impact. We nurture talent and reward success.

About this Role

We have an exciting opportunity to appoint up to three new Non-Executive Advisory Board Members.

The RoS Board is an advisory function, with a role to provide strategic advice to the Keeper on:

• Setting and communicating RoS’ vision and values.
• Setting strategy and objectives for RoS and ensuring that the necessary financial, IT, physical and human resources are in place to deliver them.
• Setting a framework of prudent and effective controls that enable risk to be assessed and managed.
• Monitoring and improving RoS' performance.
• Non-Executive Directors contribute strategic challenge, an external perspective, and specialist expertise to the Board’s discussions. The Board is supported by the Executive Management Team, the Audit and Risk Committee, and any additional subgroups established as required. An annual effectiveness review supports continual improvement in the Board’s governance and performance.

A number of the current Non-Executive Directors reach their maximum term in office in January 2027. We are therefore looking to appoint candidates to join the advisory Board in September 2026 to allow for handover.

We are seeking Non-Executive Advisory Board Members who, in addition to being able to provide broad strategic advice to support the development and delivery of the next corporate plan for RoS (which we are in the early stages of defining); bring one or more of the following specific areas of expertise, which will be particularly relevant to our future strategic direction:

• Experience in AI governance.
• Experience of delivering effective cyber security and operational resilience within a modern digital environment.
• Experience of leading a high performing public sector organisation through a period of reform.
• Proven track record of taking successful commercial and/or investment decisions using a clear risk management approach. Experience of delivering this in a public sector or public/ private hybrid context would be an advantage.

You must also have commitment to the principles of public service, with the highest standards of personal propriety in relation to governance, accountability, risk and financial management.
