Role
We are looking for a motivated and collaborative Chair to proactively lead and support our organisation, providing strategic direction and insight to ensure we achieve our vision.

We support children, young people, adults and families, with an established specialism in access to records for people who experienced abuse while in care.

- Provide effective leadership and strategic direction
- Chair Board meetings and AGM

- Ensure the charity operates in line with governing documents, charity law and best practice
- Represent Wellbeing Scotland externally with funders, partners and supporters
This is a voluntary role requiring attendance at 6 Board meetings per year plus additional support in line with the responsibilities of the role.
Who are we looking for?
Previous experience as a Chair is desirable but not essential. Most important is your commitment to our work and to using your experience to help us achieve our vision. We actively welcome expressions of interest from people of all backgrounds, professions and life experiences.
