Posted on May 1, 2015

CVS Falkirk is looking to recruit dynamic and enthusiastic volunteers to join our Board to support and guide the organisation through its strategic development. Membership of the board is voluntary and the board meets approximately 6 times a year.
It is hoped that Board members can bring a variety of skills, expertise and experience in particular, legal, HR and accountancy to guide and support the strategic development of the organisation. No previous board experience is required.

Organisation profile:
CVS Falkirk is recognised by Scottish Government and Falkirk Council as the third sector interface for the Falkirk area. We have a primary role in ensuring the continuation and development of a vibrant third sector (charities, social enterprises, community and voluntary groups etc.) in Falkirk.
We have four key areas of work:

More people have increased opportunities to volunteer, and volunteer involving organisations are better able to recruit, manage and retain volunteers
Social enterprise develops and grows
Organisations are well governed and managed to enable them to deliver quality outcomes
Organisations are better connected and able to influence and contribute to public policy
