Director/Trustee of the Renfield Centre
The Renfield Centre is looking to appoint several individuals to its Board of Directors. The Board plays an essential
and active role in pursuing the successful operation and development of the Renfield Centre, which is a Scottish
charitable company limited by guarantee (SC153177; SC022996), located in the City Centre in premises owned by
the Renfield Street Trust. With its Christian ethos (but no denominational affiliations) it is committed to the
improvement of the wellbeing of the whole community, in physical, mental and spiritual respects. It provides
short-term lets of serviced, IT-equipped accommodation, with capacities ranging from 8 to 200, to facilitate a
huge range of social, professional, learning and creative activities. It also supports developments in the
performing arts, and in addition offers long-term subsidised accommodation to enable particular charities to
continue their vital work in meeting specialised needs. It presently employs a small team of seven permanent
staff. It was incorporated in 1994.
It is an interesting time to become involved, as the Centre is on the threshold of initiating significant
developments which will increase its prominence and contribute to the improvement of the ambience of this part
of the City Centre. This will include the re-establishment of an integral café, operated by a wholly-owned
trading subsidiary Renfield Enterprises
The Board is looking for enthusiastic and energetic individuals from all walks of life who feel they can become
committed to the Centre’s objectives and take an active part in the Board’s deliberations and decision-making.
The Board generally meets once a month, afternoon or evening and in-person or hybrid as arranged. Past
experience in a relevant context is expected, and competencies in management, marketing or finance would be
useful but not essential.
Directors of the company are simultaneously Trustees in respect of its charitable recognition.
