Help shape a climate-safe future for every child

Parents for Future Scotland (SC053173) is a parent-led Scottish charity working towards a world that is climate-safe for every child, forever. We deliver education and clean air programmes in schools, amplify the voices of refugee, asylum-seeking and migrant communities in the climate movement, and campaign for a fair, fossil-fuel-free transition across Scotland.
We're looking for up to three new trustees to join our Board and help guide the next stage of our journey. This is an opportunity to contribute your skills, experience and insight to the governance of a growing charity making a real
difference.

Who we're looking for
We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and are particularly interested in hearing from those with knowledge or experience in one or more of the following areas:
 People leadership and organisational development
 Financial or accounting oversight (audit, budgeting, financial planning)
 Strategy development
 Charity governance (board/trustee experience)
 Fundraising and business development

Whether you're an experienced trustee or bringing transferable leadership or governance experience from another sector, we'd love to hear from you. We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive Board that reflects the communities we serve.

What's involved?
As a trustee, you'll work collaboratively with fellow Board members to:
 Help shape the strategic direction of the charity.
 Ensure good governance and sound financial oversight.
 Support and appropriately challenge the Chief Executive.

What's in it for you?

As a trustee, you'll have the opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to a growing national charity while developing your own skills and experience.
