Befrienders Highland has been providing befriending services in the Highlands of Scotland for over 30 years, working with a wide-spread group of volunteers and people experiencing mental health issues across this diverse area.
Sorry we have no other paid positions available right now, but please consider one of our other ways of getting involved.
Convenor of Board of Trustees
A new 3-year funding package for Befrienders Highland has secured our future and we are looking for a new Convenor of our Board to take us forward.
Like all charitable bodies this is a voluntary position, and we are looking for someone with a background in mental health, either through lived experience or working in the sector, with experience of governance and supporting a small, but well-established, charity based in Inverness and operating across the Highland region.
Befriending in this context provides unique opportunities and challenges and we welcome applications from someone who values the practice of befriending as a support for recovery and is keen to work with other board members and staff into the future.
Board meetings take place in Inverness, every six to eight weeks, so a locally based candidate is preferred.
The role profile and person specification are attached.
To apply, please send your CV and a personal statement to info@befriendershighand.org.uk
