Vice Chairperson - St Andrews

Be a Vice Chairperson for a charity providing vital support and information for people with brain injury, their families and carers.

Build your experience and share your skills for Fife Headway. This role is vital to help them run the work that they do. The role is varied and may include the following:

Planning the annual cycle of board meetings and set the agendas; chairing and facilitating the board meetings; giving directions to board policy making; monitoring that decisions taken at board meetings are implemented; representing the organisation at appropriate events, meetings or functions; acting as a spokesperson for the organisation where appropriate; attend monthly board meetings, participate in other tasks as they arise from time to time, such as interviewing new staff, helping with fundraising; keep informed about the activities of the organisation and wider issues which affect its work.


New role holders within the board are needed as due to a mixture of health and personal reasons, the current volunteers are seeking to step down.


Monthly board meetings will be held both on zoom and face to face when appropriate. Meetings are arranged to suit those attending.
