Can you see the wood and the trees?
As the UK's leading woodland conservation charity, the Woodland Trust is dynamic, successful and growing. We aim to enable the creation of new native woodland, protect existing woods, and inspire everyone to enjoy and value woods and trees.
We are seeking trustees to join our Board in 2012.
As a trustee, you will be passionate about our cause and committed to our values; and will help formulate and drive forward the next phase of our ambitious growth strategy. You will ensure sound governance and effective management of the Trust's business, and contribute to special projects and the promotion of the Trust.
With leadership and Board level experience, you will be familiar with what makes sizeable organisations work and acquainted with the duties and obligations of a Board of Directors.
You will be assertive yet collaborative in your approach, with a record of sound judgement, bias for action and a taste for open and constructive debate.
An added advantage would be a well-developed personal network which you can enlist to help turn our future plans into reality. If you are a leader in nature conservation or have extensive experience/networks in Scotland, we would be particularly pleased to hear from you.
You will need to commit to 12 days a year.
Closing date: 31 October 2011
Interview dates: 5th and 6th December 2011.
