The client is offering opportunities for voluntary Board Member positions, aimed at individuals who are committed and values-driven. The organization is a charity with a significant national impact, focusing on strengthening support for Ireland's most vulnerable groups, such as frontline workers, aftercare professionals, youth workers, and mental health practitioners. The charity coordinates training in suicide prevention and self-harm awareness, aligns with national strategies, and manages networks that support professionals working with young people exiting State care.
The role of a Board Member involves providing strategic guidance and oversight, supporting good governance, and contributing expertise to strengthen support systems for frontline workers. Board Members work collaboratively with the National Director, a small staff team, and other board members, advocating for better outcomes for young people with care experiences. This is a vital position with a focus on enhancing the charity's impact at a national level, influencing change, and ensuring the charity's operations are conducted with high standards of professionalism.
We invite expressions of interest from individuals with experience in areas such as governance, charity leadership, finance, social care, mental health, communications, and advocacy. The board convenes about five times annually, with a mix of in-person and online meetings, maintaining an emphasis on collaboration and shared purpose. This is an opportunity to positively contribute to national policy and practice, support vulnerable young populations, and join a dedicated and professional board working towards meaningful change. To express interest, please reach out through appropriate channels.
