Description

An exciting opportunity has arisen within The Friends Shed. We are a relatively new organisation based in Lanark. Our service provides support to service users in Lanark and Hamilton for people aged from 16 - 35 years old who need one to one support in their daily lives and are looking for an opportunity to meet others for shared experiences and activities. The Friends Shed is an unincorporated organisation with a constitution and we are looking to recruit new Board members to participate in the governance and achievement of the strategic objectives of the organisation. The current Board has a diverse combination of skills and experiences. Candidates with a background in general administration, current or previous voluntary sector experience would be particularly welcomed but not a condition as full training will be given.
Some of the duties board members are expected to take part in are:
• Attend board meetings monthly.
• Ensure good governance of the organisation.
• Contribute to policies.
• Development and Sustainability of the service.
• Foster positive working relationships within the Friends Shed Team.
• Collectively with other board members, oversee the current service and development of future projects and contribute proactively to the Board in reaching quality decisions.

We meet every month for around 2 hours and have occasional correspondence in between meetings for any business that cannot wait until the next meeting.

If you feel you have the time and the passion to make a difference to our group by becoming a board member and would like to know more about our organisation please get in touch for an informal chat.
