About Us
Waverley Care is Scotland’s leading HIV and hepatitis C charity. Guided by the voices and experiences of the people we support, our work helps shape vital services and influences national policy on sexual health and blood borne viruses. Our vision is a Scotland where everyone living with, or at risk of, HIV and hepatitis C is treated with dignity, acceptance, and respect. Through our services, we create safe spaces where people can connect, share experiences, and build confidence. We work to end isolation and support people affected by HIV or hepatitis C to live well.
About Our Board
Waverley Care’s Board brings together a committed group of trustees who are responsible for the charity’s governance and strategic direction. Working collectively, trustees ensure that Waverley Care remains focused on its purpose and continues to deliver meaningful impact for the people and communities we support.
Who we would like to hear from
Previous experience of being a charity trustee is not essential, as training and mentoring will be available to support successful candidates to develop their skills and confidence in the role. We are seeking people who can contribute insight and perspective to the Board across two areas. You may bring experience in one or both.
We are particularly keen to broaden the diversity of our Board and to include the voices of people from the communities we work with. This may include:
We are also interested in hearing from people who can bring specific professional expertise or qualifications in one or more of the following areas:
Time Commitment
As a trustee, you would be expected to attend four Board meetings per year. Meetings are normally held quarterly in Edinburgh city centre and, while we encourage trustees to attend in person where possible, a virtual option is also available. In addition to these meetings, trustees may be invited to attend occasional Board and organisation-wide development days.
Circle is a registered charity working at the heart of communities across central Scotland. We work with families facing multiple disadvantages because of structural inequality, poverty, drug and alcohol use, imprisonment, physical or mental health, trauma, abuse and loss. We believe that every child, no matter their background or circumstances, should have the support they need to live a happy and healthy life.
Circle is seeking a skilled and relationship-driven Fundraising Officer with experience working with trusts and foundations and a talent for turning real stories into compelling funding applications. You’ll work closely with colleagues across our projects — spending time in services, gathering insight, and grounding every application in lived experience. Strong analytical skills, excellent written communication, and confidence using content management systems and digital tools are essential.
We’re looking for someone who is proactive, organised, and committed to equality and inclusion. You’ll be a creative storyteller, an effective collaborator, and someone who thrives on building relationships. If you’re passionate about making a difference for children and families — and you prefer to be out meeting people rather than writing in isolation — we’d love to hear from you.
