Board Members

• Carers Link East Dunbartonshire

• VO95297

Carers Link is supported by a dedicated team of Volunteers. Whether personally providing support to carers or helping in the office, we couldn't do what we do without them.
The main responsibility is governance: to ensure we run efficiently and properly, that our funds are spent properly, to monitor the progress of the work of the organisation and to make sure that as the organisation grows, it continues to meet the needs of Carers in East Dunbartonshire.

We are keen to hear from anyone who has personal caring experience, either now or in the past. However, although you do not need any formal experience to become a Board Member, you should be comfortable with reading reports.

Experience required

Understanding reporting and a background in one of the following: Business skills, HR/management, Voluntary/health or social work sectors, legal or financial skills, fundraising strategic planning and digital strategy

Travel details
