Role
We are looking for new trustees with the vision to help lead the charity through a new phase of development. We would particularly like to hear from potential trustees with communications/ social media or finance experience; but we always welcome applications from candidates from all walks of life, regardless of background or work experience. Previous experience of being a trustee is not necessary.
This is an exciting time to join as we have recently secured funding from the Tudor Trust, National Lottery Community Fund, and the Scottish Government’s Victim at the Centre Fund. These grants haves effectively tripled AMIS’s turnover, and potential impact, for the next three years. We will therefore have greater stability, increased capacity and new services to better support those who need our help.
As an expanding organisation we have engaged with the Cranfield Trust to help us bring additional skills and expertise to the board; building our team to meet the demands of our new situation.
Ths is an exciting time for new trustees to join a committed team, and assist in our new projects to maximise the very real difference AMIS can make to the lives of men across Scotland who experience domesic or partner abuse, and to their families.
Remuneration
Trustees are volunteers although reasonable expenses for travel, etc, may be claimed.
Location
The head office of AMIS is located in Dalkeith. Meetings may also be held elsewhere or via Zoom using a hybrid and flexible approach.
Time commitment
There are currently nine board meetings per year (including an AGM). The current board comprises six trustees. As AMIS is a small organization trustees are expected to take on some management responsibility.
The next AGM will take place in November 2023.
About AMIS
Founded in 2010, AMIS provides Scotland’s only national specialist helpline, involving longer-term casework if needed, for men experiencing domestic or partner abuse. We support individuals aged 16+ who identify as men, and anyone with concerns about such men. AMIS also provides training for other services wishing to learn more about supporting male victims, and engages with policy makers to highlight the need for support provision for all victims and survivors of domestic abuse in Scotland.
AMIS currently employs one full-time and two part-time members of staff. We are utilizing our recently secured funding to recruit new staff members (2.2 FTE equivalent) to increase helpline capacity, launch a new community based support project and increase advocacy work.
