Board à Grande-Bretagne

Andro and Eve is looking to recruit new board members and a Chair of the Board. If you’re based in the North of England, have strong communication and interpersonal skills and are looking for a new challenge, this opportunity could be for you!

As a social enterprise, our organisation is strategically guided by a board of Directors. Non Executive Directors are unpaid advisors who support the governance of Andro and Eve, contributing expertise to the organisation’s development, sustainability and reputation.

We would like to work with people who share our values and have a strong set of skills and experiences. It is a unique opportunity to help support a dynamic South Yorkshire arts organisation and build connections with likeminded people.

You’ll be joining the board at an exciting time for Andro and Eve as we launch new client focused offers around our training, embark on new work around trans liberation, and implement a new fundraising strategy and business action plan.

We understand that you may want to get involved for a variety of reasons, and welcome applications from people from a range of sectors, backgrounds or experience levels.

We are particularly interested in hearing from people who have knowledge or experience in one or more the following areas:

• HR / People Management / Policy
• Financial Management or Planning
• Business Development
• Third Sector (charities, social enterprises)
• Marketing / PR / Communications
• Culture or heritage – leadership or project management

Previous trustee / board experience is not essential, more important is the willingness to use your skills and expertise to support the organisation’s development and resilience.

As well as supporting a diverse range of artists, our core team and board bring a range of perspectives to our organisation and we would encourage people who are currently underrepresented on boards to apply, including those who are Black, Asian or of the Global Majority, those who have faced socio-economic barriers, and those with disabilities. Andro and Eve are committed to further building representation across our team in respect of protected characteristics.

Although we believe strongly in being led by and for the community we serve, board members do not need to be LGBTQ+ identified and we welcome different perspectives and life experiences.

Directors should be able to commit themselves to the role for a minimum period of 2 years. We have a 1 year commitment in place for those who are keen to offer support but are not sure if board membership is right for them.

Benefits:

• 2 x Complimentary tickets per year to Andro & Eve events
• Travel expenses within the North of England will be covered
• Refreshments provided for in person meetings / away days
• Gender Awareness Training will be given as part of this role

This role is offered on an expenses only basis, with the understanding that you are giving your time to grow and develop the work of Andro and Eve. Where additional duties are requested or where a director would not be able to participate in board business owing to loss of income, fees can be paid to non-executive directors.
