Join our Board of Trustees at Space @ The Broomhouse Hub.

At Space, we believe in creating opportunities that bring people together, build confidence, and strengthen our community. Across more than 20 projects, we support people of all ages and backgrounds to learn, work, connect and thrive. From our community café and kitchen training programmes, to youth work, employability, carers support, and wellbeing services — everything we do aims to make life better in Broomhouse and beyond.

Our Mission

To build a thriving, inclusive and resilient community where everyone has the opportunity to reach their potential.

Our Values

• Respect: Welcome and listen without judgment.
• Integrity: Deliver value-based work with kindness and consistency.
• Collaboration: Connect with people and partners.
• Creativity: Take an innovative approach to resolve social challenges.
• Empowerment: Nurture talent and encourage self-development.

Why join us now?

It’s a really exciting time to become a Trustee. We’re currently delivering our 2024–2027 Strategy, focused on strengthening our community impact, growing sustainable enterprises, and supporting our brilliant team to make lasting change.

You’ll join a passionate, skilled and supportive board helping guide the next chapter of Space’s story.

The Role of a Trustee

Our Trustees play a vital role in three key areas: Strategy, Governance and Risk Management.

You’ll work with the leadership team as a critical friend — supporting, questioning, and inspiring us to stay true to our mission while continuing to innovate and grow.

Each trustee also “adopts” one of our services or projects, acting as a link between the Board and front line staff. This helps Trustees stay connected to the people and communities we serve, and brings valuable insight back to board discussions.

Trustees with specific professional experience engage in one of our four subgroups – Finance, Governance, People, Enterprise.

Right now we’re particularly keen to add to the existing financial skills of our Board, ideally welcoming someone with Management Accounting expertise, especially within SMEs or social enterprises. Someone with experience of being a charity treasurer would be highly beneficial.

That said, we’d love to hear from anyone who shares our values and brings experience in areas like fundraising, communications, enterprise, wellbeing, or facilities management.

Do I have to live in Edinburgh?

Not at all! We welcome applications from potential Trustees living anywhere. However, there is a requirement to attend an in-person Board meeting in Edinburgh once every two months. Attendance online can be arranged under special circumstances.

Our Trustees fall into two categories:

• Local Trustees: People living in South West Edinburgh, or within three miles of EH11 3RH.
• Business Trustees: People who do not live locally who join the Board to offer specific skills, expertise or professional experience.

Your Commitment

We truly value your time and experience, and we keep the commitment meaningful but manageable:

• Board meeting every two months in Edinburgh (2hrs in person)
• Sub-group meeting every three months (60-90 mins online)
• Annual General Meeting in Edinburgh (90mins in person)
• One Trustee Strategy Building Day per year (5-6hrs in person

Trustee Induction & Training

We provide a comprehensive induction and ongoing training programme to support all trustees in their role. This includes sessions on our governance structure, key policies, finance & budgeting, health & safety, safeguarding, and an overview of our current projects and strategic priorities.

Trustees also take part in regular development sessions throughout the year.

All new trustees have the option to be buddied up with an existing trustee while they find their feet.

Remuneration/Expenses

This is an unpaid role, however reasonable expenses associated with the role may be reimbursed.

Sound like something you’d be interested in?

If you share our values, believe in community-led change, and want to make a real difference — we’d love to hear from you.
