Would you like the opportunity to develop your experience in the community sector?

Do you live, work or are well connected in the south east of Glasgow?

Do you support our aims to build a community across the south east of Glasgow which is actively welcoming, inclusive, and anti-racist?

We’re looking for a new Chair to join the South East Integration Network board of trustees.

In this role, you will help shape the direction of the network and support SEIN to achieve its aims; connecting SEIN members, and furthering community integration activity in the south east of Glasgow (read Our Mission).

Becoming the new Chair

Now is an exciting time to become the Chair of SEIN as the organisation enters a new phase with active and growing membership. We have recently completed our 3 year strategy and welcomed 2 new board members.

What we can offer our new Chair

• Support and guidance from our current interim chair (who is staying on the board)
• External mentoring from the Cranfield Trust
• Training and development opportunities, particularly around leadership and charity governance.

We hope that the time you give to SEIN will be rewarding and beneficial to you, however, we will do our best to make sure the role can work around your life, work and other commitments.

We would like the SEIN board to reflect the diversity of the network, and welcome interest and applications from people from all ages, stages and backgrounds.
