Scotland’s leading theatre company for actors and theatre makers with a learning disability and autism is seeking new Trustees to join our Board on a part-time, voluntary basis.
We have been proving since 1984 that disabled people have a place on the stage. Across those forty years, we have produced over 50 original theatre productions featuring more than 500 learning-disabled actors. Not only do we provide opportunities to perform on stage, but we also offer pathways to inspire new interests and nurture creative development through our bespoke, supported programmes.
This is an incredibly exciting opportunity to get involved with Lung Ha as a Member of the Board of Trustees. As a trustee, you will help guide the charity’s strategic direction, ensure it is well-run and financially sustainable, and act in line with its purposes and the law. Trustees share responsibility for good governance, always acting in the best interests of the charity and its beneficiaries.
We are an inclusive organisation and we seek applications from those with a wide range of backgrounds and experiences. We are particularly interested in hearing from people who have skills and experience in finance and in fundraising. We are also interested in hearing from those who have historically been marginalised from board representation.
This is a voluntary position; however, reasonable expenses can be agreed in advance. Reasonable expenses might include travel, childcare costs or access costs. If you are unsure about what constitutes a reasonable expense, please ask.
Please also note that there will be a requirement to join the Protection of Vulnerable Groups (PVG) scheme.
How to apply
In order to apply, or to find out more information, please email info@lungha.com with a CV and a cover letter detailing what interests you about becoming a Member of the Board of Trustees, as well as any questions you may have. Please use the subject line Board of Trustees Application.
Please let us know your preferred method of communication as well as any access requirements.
Deadline: 12pm (noon) Wednesday 1st October
We expect interviews to take place in early October. Please inform us if you have any particular commitments during this time.
