About this opportunity

Express Group Fife is a charity working with people who require support to improve and/or maintain their mental health and wellbeing.

The aim is to promote positive mental wellbeing by providing a safe place for sharing experiences and peer support in a group setting. There are currently Eleven groups in eight locations across Fife each week.

The organisation is looking to recruit enthusiastic people to the Board of Trustees who will be responsible for setting the strategic vision and direction of the organisation and monitoring the management provided by the service manager.

The Board needs a range of skills, but commitment and enthusiasm are most important. Experience of working in the third sector, management, finance, health or social care is an advantage, but applications from other people who wish to gain experience of working at board level are also welcomed.
