Role
Victim Support Scotland is committed to ensuring that anyone affected by crime is treated with dignity, compassion and respect, with their rights, needs and voices at the heart of Scotland’s justice system. As Scotland’s independent national charity supporting victims, witnesses and their families, we play a vital role in delivering high-quality, trauma-informed services right across Scotland, while also influencing change. We champion the interests of those affected by crime, challenge barriers and inequalities, and work with partners across Scotland to create a more responsive, compassionate and effective criminal justice system.
As a Trustee, you will help guide and support this important work, contributing to the strategic leadership and governance of an organisation that makes a real difference to people's lives every day. As we embark on an exciting new strategic phase, we are looking for people who are passionate about our cause and we welcome applications from both experienced Trustees and individuals new to Board roles who can demonstrate the judgement, confidence and strategic perspective required of charity Trustees.
We welcome applications from people with lived experience of being affected by crime, and we are also looking to increase the diversity of Board members. We welcome individuals from all backgrounds, cultures, and communities to apply for Trustee positions, as we believe that a diverse board enhances our ability to provide effective support to victims, representative of our communities.
We are particularly interested in applicants who bring strength in one or more of the following areas:
• Strategic development and organisational transformation – including shaping, delivering or governing strategy in complex or changing environments.
• Organisational sustainability – including income diversification, partnership working, or long term financial viability.
• Criminal justice system experience – policy, practice or leadership experience within justice, statutory or related public services impacting victims and witnesses.
• Charity governance and board leadership – experience as a trustee, non executive, committee chair or senior leader with a strong understanding of good governance.
By joining the Board at this point, Trustees will help shape Victim Support Scotland’s next chapter and contribute to strong, sustainable governance that supports victims and witnesses across Scotland for years to come.
Application notes
Applications are welcomed in the form of a tailored CV and covering letter. Covering letters should be no more than two pages of A4 in length and should summarise your relevant skills, experience and motivations for applying for the role.
