We’re looking for a Trustee with experience of devolved political, health, and/or social care systems in Scotland to join the MS Society Board.

If you live or work predominantly in Scotland, and you’re interested in using your insight to help shape our work, then we’d love to hear from you.

About the MS Society

We’re the UK’s leading MS charity. We provide hope, voice and support for everyone affected by MS.

Our vision is a world free from MS. That means fewer people developing MS. And everyone with MS having the effective treatments and support they need to live well.

About this role

Trustees set our strategy and review our progress against it. They agree our annual plans, budget, and performance targets. They oversee how we manage our finances and risk.

Trustees are chosen for their skills and diversity of lived experience. This ensures that our Board has a wide range of expertise to effectively scrutinise and challenge our work. And being led by a Board that understands MS is fundamental to how we work. Most of our Trustees have a personal connection to MS, either because they have MS or someone they care about does.

We know that where a person affected by MS lives can make a difference to the quality and availability of services that they have access to. And our Board of Trustees knows that the decisions they make about our work need to reflect these differences.

We’re specifically looking to recruit a Trustee with current or recent experience of devolved political, health, and/or social care systems in Scotland. You may have gained this knowledge through paid work, volunteering, studying, or your own lived experience.

As a Trustee of the MS Society, you will be appointed to serve a three-year term. You may be reappointed for two further terms, up to a maximum of nine years, based on your performance in the role. This role is voluntary and is unpaid.

Time commitment

Becoming a Trustee is a significant commitment. You need to be sure you have the time, energy and dedication it will take to be an active and effective member of our Board.
