We are now accepting applications for Trustees to join our Board. They will help govern and lead the organisation, and guide it through this exciting next chapter as we develop our small staff team and invaluable volunteer team.

The key things you’d want to know about: 

  • We expect people to commit to 8 - 15 hours per month, dependent on our priorities and your availability 

  • The role is unpaid, but expenses are reimbursed

  • We have two requirements: you are aged 18-35 at time of application and have a strong connection to Scotland

The 2050 Climate Group Board is responsible for governing the organisation. They are responsible for growing the overall impact of the charity, and the oversight of the 3-year strategic plan. 

It is a core value that our organisation is for young people, run by young people; we lead by example with regards to promoting young people and pursuing equality and inclusion through our Board. 

The role of a Trustee offers the opportunity to develop personally and professionally and contribute to a significant and growing movement in Scotland. We offer opportunities for skills development, training and leadership. As a Trustee, you will also have the opportunity to publicly represent the organisation and meet high profile stakeholders. In addition, we are very proud of the organisational culture that we foster and joining our Board also means joining a supportive, friendly, and ambitious network of young people. The role is unpaid, but we reimburse travel expenses for attending meetings, when in person.

Ultimately, we care less about the number of years of experience than we do about what perspectives and skills you can bring to the organisation. We have two rules: you are aged 18-35 when you apply and you have a strong connection to Scotland. 

We are looking to recruit a number of Trustee positions that fall under these categories: 

  • Trustees who bring in specific skills. We are looking to recruit a number of trustees, but are particularly interested in hearing from applicants with skills in financial management, legal (including data protection), and managing human resources. If you have skills in one or more of these areas, please specify this in your application.

  • Trustees who bring in varied perspectives. We recognise that young people are a diverse group and want our Board of Trustees to be representative of Scotland’s diverse communities. We are particularly interested in applicants that would bring varied perspectives. This might be due to your life experience, ethnic or social background, physical or neurological differences, or anything else you feel relevant.

We can discuss this further with you to ensure no one is at a disadvantage due to our processes. Getting in touch will not influence the outcome of your application.
