Following our announcement that VASLan Chairperson is stepping down, we are now looking to appoint a new Chairperson to lead on the ongoing good governance of our organisation. For the new Chair, we are looking for a values-based leader who's personal values align with those of the organisation and sector. You will Chair our Board Meetings, line manage our CEO and represent VASLan at key events.

We are also looking to appoint 2 new Trustees to the VASLan Board. We have a passionate and committed core group that we hope you feel your skills, knowledge, understanding and experiences may add value too, as we serve South Lanarkshire's Third Sector. We would be particularly pleased to hear from those with accountancy and legal backgrounds, business community leaders, and those with high quality digital skills. We are also actively reflecting on the age profile of the Board and are keen to recruit 1 or 2 younger Trustee(s) (under 40 years old). We are committed to diversity and inclusion in all our work and will continue to develop a diverse Board in terms of experiences and skills, identity and backgrounds. As part of your application to us, we would encourage you to demonstrate these principles.

The Board meets approximately 8 times per year normally on Friday mornings. There will, from time to time, be the opportunity for Trustees to join sub-groups, which meet out-with the main Board Meeting on a monthly basis. Trustees are also expected to attend the Annual General Meeting (AGM) which is normally held in October/November and to be ambassadors for the work of the Third Sector and VASLan.

Further information about the vacancy can be found in our Board Recruitment Pack.

To apply for a Trustee role with VASLan, please send your CV and a Covering Letter to Letitia.Gallacher@vaslan.org.uk.

The deadline has been extended until Friday, 25^th November at 05.00 pm.

Thank you for your interest, and we look forward to hearing from you.
