Join Geeza Break as a Trustee!

Geeza Break is a unique, well-established, community-based organisation committed to improving the health, wellbeing and care outcomes of local children, young people and their families. We provide regulated, registered social care services and community groups, providing families with both practical and emotional support, meaningful engagement and strong community connections. Everything we do is rooted in listening to and supporting children, young people and their families, safeguarding and advocating for them, providing quality, nurturing and inclusive respite care in the community and championing their rights and wellbeing.

We are now inviting applications from committed individuals to join our Board of Trustees. As a Trustee, you will provide strategic leadership and good governance in line with our mission and values, ensure legal and financial compliance, and help shape the long-term direction of the organisation. You may also act as an ambassador and champion for the organisation.

We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds. Lived experience of care service provision and/or the Northeast of Glasgow where the organisation is based and primarily delivers services and support, is valued, alongside skills or expertise in other areas such as governance, HR, fundraising, marketing and communications, community partnership working, social care delivery, safeguarding or risk management.

Previous board experience is not essential as a board induction programme will be provided with support from existing trustees, the Chief Executive and staff team, and we welcome informal discussions or a visit to our office to hear more about the role and its requirements prior to application.

The trustee role is an unpaid voluntary role, with reasonable expenses available and reimbursed in line with policy. Board meetings are currently held every six weeks on a Tuesday afternoon, with a finance and resource subgroup held the Thursday prior to the board meeting. Meetings can be attended online or in person to accommodate trustee’s diary availability and remove any barriers to participating.
