We are seeking Trustees to join our Board, and in particular someone to take up the role of Secretary. We also have opportunities for a Trustee to lead our Fundraising Team (assisted by our parent group)
A Trustee of Tweedbank Early Learners will work with other trustees, the nursery management team, staff members and volunteers to ensure the charity is carrying out its intended purpose which is to provide the highest quality Early Learning and Childcare for children and families in our local and wider community.
The role of the Board is to safeguard and promote the Vision, Values and Aims of Tweedbank Early Learners (SCIO) to determine the strategy and structure of the charity, and to ensure that it operates in an effective, responsible and accountable manner
We are looking for caring, dynamic and committed individuals, who will help to drive our charity forwards.
Both challenging and rewarding in equal measure, our trustee roles will provide you with an opportunity to support a local charity and really make a difference.

The Board of Trustees collectively needs to have skills and experience in the following areas:
• Human Resources, Staff Management, Employment Law
• Finance and Business Administration

Previous Charity Board experience is desirable but not as important as a passion for our work, a commitment to supporting our staff at all levels, and a desire to make a positive contribution along with the ability to work effectively as a member of a team and to make decisions for the good of the charity.
