Deveron Projects
- VO106158
Deveron Projects is a socially-engaged art organisation based in Huntly, a rural town in north-east Scotland, for 30 years. Our work builds deep and meaningful collaboration between artists, communities and places, through the process of making art. We are looking for Trustees to join our friendly board.
As a Trustee you will be an ambassador, advisor and cheerleader for our work and for the team. You will bring your experience and expertise to help us work through challenges, realise our strategies and manage the charity well. We are looking for Trustees who are ready to get stuck in to explore, deliberate and experiment with us, towards our aims. We need people who can be responsive when the team needs support, who want to learn with us and are open to sharing their knowledge, experience and skills in collaborative and open-minded ways.
Experience required
There are many different approaches, skills and experiences that would make someone a brilliant Trustee. Just now, we are particularly looking for people with experience of:
— Buildings management and strategy, including capital development.
— Arts practice in the UK and/or internationally.
— Alternative and transformational governance models.
— Organisational leadership, business planning and strategic development.
— Finance management.
If you have experience beyond these areas and are interested in becoming a Trustee, we’d still love to hear from you as we recruit on a rolling basis.
