Volunteer Vacancies

Board Member / Trustee / Director

We pride ourselves on providing Independent Advocacy for adults across Dumfries and Galloway, and we are looking for new Trustees to help us shape our future and ensure we meet the targets set out in our strategic plan.

It is not necessary to have previous Board experience, as training will be provided. This would be a great opportunity for someone taking their first steps to develop their charity governance experience.

We greatly value the benefits of having different points of view and experiences on our Board and hope to receive applications from a wide range of talented people irrespective of their religion or belief, gender, age, gender identity, disability, sexual orientation, ethnic origin, political belief, relationship status or caring responsibilities.

If you have the enthusiasm and drive to help shape the future of Independent Advocacy for Adults in our region in any of the following areas:

  • Lived Experience
  • IT
  • Human Resources
  • Life Skills
  • Financial Management / Accounting

To express an interest and find out more, get in touch with Pamela on 01387 247237 or email: pamela.deans@dgadvocacy.co.uk
