Role

East Dunbartonshire Women’s Aid is seeking to recruit suitably experienced, skilled and motivated women, who have an understanding of the feminist analysis of domestic abuse, to join our Board of Trustees. Interested parties do not need to have an in-depth knowledge of domestic abuse but it will be essential to prove that you are interested in our work, reliable and committed to our principles and values.

East Dunbartonshire Women’s Aid has delivered essential domestic abuse services across the local authority area for over 40 years. We strive for a society free from domestic abuse by providing practical and emotional support, as well as refuge accommodation and information to women, children and young people. The charity also raises awareness of domestic abuse and its prevalence across society.

Trustees are responsible for the effective governance of our charity and give their time on a voluntary basis to provide leadership, financial oversight and support the ongoing development of the vital services that we provide. We are hoping to increase the diversity of our Board and are particularly seeking someone who has the skills to take over the role of Treasure within our Board. Full guidance, including a handover with our current Treasurer and time spent with our Finance Worker will be provided.

The Board meets in-person every two months. There may also be times that Trustees have to progress communications or pieces of work in-between meetings, either on an individual basis on behalf of the Board or as part of a short-life working group or a sub-group of the Board.

The Trustee role is voluntary however, we will provide induction training, support and reimburse any necessary expenses.
