Job Description
Following the appointment on new chair last year, we are now on the hunt for up to two non-executive directions to help shape and develop our strategy.
The role of the board is to support the strategic vision and leadership of The AOI and to ensure we fulfil our mission. Non-executive directors are key ambassadors of the AOI, promoting our work, helping to ensure best practice and contribute to the good governance of the organisation. We anticipate this taking approximately half a day per month of time.
We are particularly keen to strengthen our Board in the following areas:
Finance – we are seeking to appoint a Treasurer who has confidence with financial oversight, budgeting and reporting
Fundraising & development – experience generating income, building partnerships or supporting organisational growth
Marketing & communication – and understanding of stakeholder relationships
Organisational development & business growth – supporting through innovation and technology
The role of non-executive director is a voluntary unpaid one. We are happy to pay travel expenses for those travelling from outside London and are committed to making meeting accessible for all trustees.
