Part-Time Board member (voluntary)
Job Description
ECU is recruiting two voluntary Directors, to strengthen our board and help us maximise our impact.
This is a unique opportunity to join a courageous, caring organisation with a vital mission, working with a growing network of organisations building a better economy. You’ll benefit from a full induction, training in your role, and ongoing support from our Chair and other board members.
ECU’s Directors are responsible for ensuring that ECU is well-run and delivers on our ambition to accelerate the transition to a fair, sustainable and resilient economy. This includes helping to shape our strategy and annual plans; overseeing our operations, finances and organisational development; and building strong, supportive relationships with the ECU team.
We’re looking for people who are:
- Committed to ECU’s mission (but you don’t need to have specialist knowledge in economics)
- Familiar with the responsibilities of Directors and/or Trustees (but you don’t need prior experience of acting in this capacity)
- Aligned with our vision and values
- Able to listen well, see the bigger strategic picture, and take independent decisions in service of our mission
- Able to commit sufficient time to carrying out the role, including quarterly online meetings and an annual in-person away day.
These roles are voluntary, you will be reimbursed for reasonable expenses involved in fulfilling your role (such as travel or childcare).
We’re especially keen to hear from candidates who are Black or members of other marginalised ethnic groups. We’re aware that as an all-white board, we’re reproducing one of the major problems in our movement and in wider society, and we want to address this.
