NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS

We’re now looking for up to five new Non-Executive Directors to join our Board and help shape the next chapter of ELGT.

Bring your experience. Make a difference.

We’re looking for people who can bring experience, insight and constructive challenge to our Board, and who share our commitment to the role greenspaces can play in creating healthier, more connected communities and a better environment.

We’re particularly interested in people with experience in

1. Finance & Financial Sustainability- Financial management, accounting, audit, governance, risk and financial sustainability.

2. Strategic Fundraising & Income Generation- Fundraising strategy, securing investment and developing sustainable income.

3. Biodiversity, Woodland & Nature- Biodiversity, woodland management, nature restoration and environmental policy

4. Organisational Change & People- Understanding how organisational strategy, change and workforce decisions affect people, organisational capability and long-term sustainability.

These are our current priority areas, but they aren’t the only things we value. If you bring different experience, perspectives or skills and share our commitment to ELGT’s vision, we’d love to hear from you.

You don’t need previous Board experience. We’ll provide a full induction and support you to contribute effectively as a Director and Trustee.

The role is unpaid, with reasonable expenses reimbursed, and involves around half a day a month on average, including four Board meetings a year, the AGM and some additional supporting activity.

Interested?
