Forth Valley Sensory Centre (FVSC) provides a range of services for children, adults and elderly people living with either a hearing or sight impairment.

They are looking to appoint 3 new Trustees to enable even more people with sensory loss to enjoy the best possible quality of life. The Board meet 4 times per year at the Forth Valley Sensory Centre, Redbrae Road, Camelon FK1 4DD.

A proven track record of leadership, innovation and service delivery
An interest and empathy with the needs of people living with a sensory impairment
The ability to become an ambassador and to raise the profile of the centre, as well as contributing at a strategic level
