Are you looking to broaden your experience, learn new skills and share your abilities with a wider community?
ACE IT Scotland is a successful and growing Edinburgh-based charity. We provide free coaching and support to people over 50 to help them access everything the digital world can offer.
Working out of our city centre office, we have a small team of employees and a larger bank of volunteers who provide most of our services. These include community services, such as one-to-one coaching, group sessions, information services, and activity groups within local care homes. Demand for our services continues to grow. The recent events have reinforced just how important digital technology is for the health, wellbeing and connectivity of older people.
We have plans and resources in place to move ahead with our strategy of delivering our core services, seeking to help more people in more areas, and exploring more transformational opportunities longer-term.
We're now looking for new trustees to join our Board. The current Board of six trustees meets four to five times a year, normally in person. In between the formal Board meetings, trustees will serve on one or more of six sub-committees which take a more detailed view of the operation. Extensive use is made of remote meetings and online collaboration tools.
We would be particularly keen to hear from potential trustees who have experience of working with older people, the third sector or health and social services. As an organisation we value diversity and we warmly welcome applications from people with protected characteristics.
