Opportunity: Become a Board Member for Scottish Youth Theatre

Join us in our mission to collaborate with and develop young theatre artists across Scotland.

Scottish Youth Theatre is inviting expressions of interest to join our Board at a pivotal period of the company’s development.

We are seeking up to five new Board members to strengthen and diversify our current Board and succession plan for 2025, when our two longest serving members will have fulfilled their maximum tenure. This includes our current Chair, who is open to discuss the role of Chair with individuals who may have a particular interest in the position.

These are unpaid roles with reasonable expenses reimbursed. Previous Board experience is not essential and training will be offered if required.

First and foremost, we want to recruit Board members who are committed to the work and ambitions of the company and who will meaningfully contribute to our governance and strategic development. We particularly welcome expressions of interest from people with knowledge and experience in areas of:

Equity and inclusion
Environment
Finance
Marketing/PR
Legal

In our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion we want our Board to reflect Scotland’s diverse communities and therefore particularly welcome interest from:

Black and People of Colour
Disabled people
People under the age of 35
Those based or with a strong connection to areas of Scotland outside the Central Belt

Deadline for expressions of interest: Monday 11 December 2023, 6pm

We are happy to accept written, audio or video submissions and offer reasonable adjustments to support people through the full recruitment process. If you have any questions about this, please get in touch.
