WORK WITH US
Putting people at the heart of our work
Foundation Scotland puts people at the heart of its work. We rely on the expertise, trust and experience we’ve gained in the last 25 years working with communities, philanthropists and companies all over Scotland.
Our people are passionate experts in bringing lasting, positive change to Scotland’s communities. We take great pride in supporting local projects by taking a personal approach to every meeting and decision. We’re in a unique position to fully understand communities’ needs and fund solutions that will make a difference.
Our work is nationwide. We’re working with different industries, funding various projects from renewables to digital, through to arts and heritage. Our people are always challenged and have an opportunity to learn and grow. In short - no two days are the same. Ultimately, our work is highly rewarding, and the best part is seeing the real impact we can make within Scottish communities. If you share our passion for shaping Scotland’s communities' future, think about joining our team.
CURRENT VACANCIES
Trustees
Our Trustees oversee the overall vision and governance for Foundation Scotland. Each of them brings a unique set of expertise and experience to help our management team deliver Foundations Scotland’s strategy.
Our Trustees come from various backgrounds, including property, communication, finance and the voluntary sector. We’re always looking to expand and diversify our team of trustees, and you don’t need previous board-level experience.
We are looking for Trustees who can share skills and experience in one of three areas:
- Public affairs
- Community engagement and development, especially in an urban context
- Philanthropy engagement, particularly from a personal perspective
We have a schedule of online and face-to-face meetings and gatherings through the year, to balance accessibility and efficiency with building cohesive relationships across the Board and the whole Foundation team. We are keen that our Trustees not only add value in their role but also feel inspired, confident and engaged as part of our team, and therefore detailed induction and development are provided.
Diversity in our Board matters to us, as does ensuring that we look at equity and inclusion in the broadest possible way. We welcome all potential Trustees, and we encourage applicants from the widely diverse range of backgrounds which reflect the communities we support.
Whether social or professional diversity, we are committed to ensuring that we grow and change for the right reasons.
Foundation Scotland’s Trustees work together to ensure the organisation is provided with effective leadership and governance. Our Trustees are committed and diligent, and act in Foundation Scotland’s best interests. They discuss, debate, review and act with one voice.
If you have the skills and experience to contribute to our work, we would be delighted to hear from you. For more information, please contact our recruitment partner LHH on 0141 220 6460 or send an email to scotlandexecutive@lhh.com
