Orkney ZeroWaste are currently seeking to recruit Trustees (Directors) and would welcome expressions of interest from people of all backgrounds who have a passion for reducing, reusing and recycling waste in order to help protect Orkney’s rich natural environment. Trustees share the collective responsibility for the effective governance and development of Orkney ZeroWaste, setting the charity’s strategy and major policies in accordance with the Charity's, vision, mission, and values. They are responsible for monitoring performance against the charity’s strategic aims and objectives, scrutinising the management of risk, and fulfilling the statutory governance obligations. They are also ambassadors for the charity and are expected to fully embody our values. Roles are unremunerated, but reasonable expenses (e.g., travel) will be reimbursed.

Key activities

Orkney ZeroWaste’s Board meets monthly. These meetings take place either virtually or in Orkney. Trustees are expected to commit to attending meetings, where possible, as well as to join suitable Sub-Committees/ groups, based on their skills and expertise. We also encourage Trustees to engage in other activities where possible to support the work of the charity.

Experience required

We are looking for people with a passion for recycling, reusing and repurposing waste.
