We are a Dundee-based community development organisation. Established in 1992 we became a SCIO in 2021. We support people globally (including in Scotland) to be the drivers of their own change and so work toward realising our vision of "An equitable world where poverty & injustice are eliminated, people thrive, & communities flourish".
From supporting rural communities in East Africa to access safe water to tackling food insecurity here in Scotland we keep people at the centre of all that we do, aiming for long-term change rather than quick-fix solutions. We are at an exciting point as we seek to significantly expand programmes locally while growing the capacity of our partners overseas towards a truly sustainable future.
We’re recruiting new Trustees | Signpost International (SCIO)
Are you interested in using your skills to help shape the future of a charity working to tackle poverty and injustice at home and abroad? Signpost International is looking for new Trustees to join our Board.
We’re particularly keen to hear from people with experience in:
• Business / commercial (growth, partnerships, operations, HR, change)
• Finance (budgeting, forecasting, controls, audit, charity finance) – Treasurer-ready experience welcome
• Programmes (international development, programme design & delivery, monitoring & evaluation, safeguarding, impact)
• Strategy (strategic planning, performance frameworks, organisational development)
• Governance (board effectiveness, policy, compliance including OSCR)
Time commitment: 4 Board meetings per year, plus joining at least one subcommittee and reading papers in advance (reasonable additional time for occasional ad-hoc meetings).
As a Trustee you will help set our strategic direction, ensure strong governance and compliance, oversee financial sustainability and risk, and support/constructively challenge the CEO and leadership team.
Trustee roles are voluntary and unpaid but fully supported through induction and ongoing guidance. Prior trustee experience is welcome but not essential. We welcome applications from people currently under-represented on charity boards.
Interested? Send a short statement (max 1 page) outlining your interest and relevant experience, plus a CV/LinkedIn profile, to [email protected] by Monday 1st June 2026 or reach out for an informal chat before submission. www.signpost-international.org
