Description
As a member of the Board, you will operate at a strategic level and be determined to ensure the charity can be the best it can be whilst maintaining its core values.
In return for your enthusiasm, time and commitment, you will gain invaluable experience, including decision-making at a strategic level; risk, governance and financial management; and be involved with like- minded colleagues from all walks of life who consider, at times, complex issues and promote the Charity (and its services) at every opportunity.
All help makes a real difference and is greatly appreciated. To discuss/for further information please contact Shirley Finlayson at email: shirley@dphsaberdeen.org or telephone: 01224810222.
