Role

The Scottish Policy & Research Exchange (SPRE) is seeking new trustees to help shape the organisation as it moves into the next phase of its growth. SPRE exists to support more equitable public governance and positive outcomes for people and the environment in Scotland. We do this through a range of capacity strengthening activities aimed at supporting meaningful connections and learning between researchers, knowledge mobilisers, policymakers and practitioners.

SPRE is a values-led organisation seeking to live these values through our intersectional praxis. We are particularly keen to appoint new Trustees who align with these values and have strengths in any of the following skills and experience:

  • Scottish politics and policy.
  • Entrepreneurship and start-ups.
  • Third sector governance.
  • Business development and consultancy.
  • Organisational policy development.
  • Human resources and people matters.
  • Experience as a Treasurer or with the financial governance of small charities.

We aim to recruit 5-7 Trustees, including a new Treasurer. We would welcome applicants with experience in setting up financial systems and good governance in a new, small, organisation.
