Part-Time Devonshire Collective Trustee

Devonshire Collective – Posted by devonshirecollective –  United Kingdom

Job Description

Devonshire Collective is seeking new Trustees to play a key role in shaping the organisation’s future.

This is an exciting time to join Devonshire Collective. We opened our new gallery space in September 2020, and recently appointed a new Director, Edward Ball, to work with the Board on developing and delivering a new strategic vision. This vision sees us working more closely with our local communities whilst expanding our creative profile nationally. To do this we need to ensure that the organisation remains ambitious, resilient, and financially stable.

Devonshire Collective is committed to ensuring equitable working environments and programme activity. We are seeking new Board Members who have specialist or lived experience in one or more of the following areas:

  • Equal opportunities
  • Governance
  • Property and capital development
  • Legal
  • Environmental sustainability
  • Marketing & communications
  • HR
  • Connections to communities in Eastbourne and/or the surrounding region

We consider diversity a strength and are keen to make our organisation’s Board, staffing and programming more representative of the different backgrounds and experiences that make up our communities. We acknowledge the multiple barriers that many communities face, and we work to remove these in our programmes and organisation.

 

We particularly welcome applications from people who are currently underrepresented in the UK arts sector, including those from Global Ethnic Majority backgrounds, those who identify as D/deaf, disabled or neurodivergent, LGBTQIA+, are early in their careers and those from lower socio-economic backgrounds or living or working in areas of socio-economic deprivation.

Trustees are not paid for their time, however we are able to reimburse trustees for expenses incurred in traveling to attend Board meetings, for any access needs and/or childcare, or care of other dependants, while attending meetings.
