Join the Board of Directors at Liber8 Lanarkshire

Help shape the future of an organisation making a real difference in your community.

Liber8 Lanarkshire is currently recruiting new members to join our Board of Directors. As we continue to grow and evolve, we are seeking passionate, skilled individuals to help guide the organisation through its next phase of development. While our current Board has supported us since our inception, upcoming retirements and transitions mean we are now looking to strengthen and diversify our governance team.

Liber8 Lanarkshire is a grassroots organisation, originally founded as a Local Council on Alcohol in 2004. We are a charitable company limited by guarantee, committed to improving lives across Lanarkshire through community-based support. Since our re-launch in 2007, we have expanded significantly, delivering a wide range of services to individuals, young people, families, women, and specific community groups.

Our services address a variety of needs—from reducing harm caused by alcohol and drug use, to mental health counselling, recovery support, prevention, education, and wellbeing programmes. Every service we deliver is person-centred, led by the needs and aspirations of the individuals we support.

About the Role

Our Board of Directors plays a crucial role in ensuring the organisation is well governed, financially sound, and strategically aligned with our mission. Working alongside the Chief Executive and leadership team, the Board provides oversight and direction, ensuring strong governance, safeguarding, and accountability.

We are looking for individuals who bring skills, experience, or a strong interest in areas such as health and social care, finance, law, community development, lived experience, or governance. Just as important is a passion for supporting people affected by complex challenges including mental health issues, substance use, poverty, domestic abuse, bereavement, and social exclusion.

This is a rewarding, voluntary opportunity to use and develop your skills while contributing to meaningful, community-led change.

Commitment

• Four Board meetings per year, typically held midweek from 6.00–8.00pm at our Blantyre office (hybrid format available).
• Optional involvement in our Finance, Risk and Audit (FRA) subcommittee, depending on your interests and expertise.
• Reasonable travel expenses reimbursed.
• A full induction and ongoing support will be provided.

Application notes

We warmly welcome applications from people with a range of backgrounds and experiences. To apply, please send your CV and a brief Covering Letter explaining your interest and the skills you could bring to: [e-mail]

Next Steps

• Interviews will be held online during early evening times, at your convenience.
• Induction will be informal and arranged flexibly to suit your availability.
• If you’d like an informal conversation before applying, feel free to contact Gordon Muir (Chair) or Margaret Halbert (Chief Executive) by emailing: [e-mail]

Thank you for your interest—we look forward to hearing from you.

The most important attributes of Board Members joining us include sharing our passion and values, a willingness to ask questions, as well as a time commitment to the role. If this sounds like you, we would love to hear from you.
