Join the SEIN Board
Would you like the opportunity to develop your experience in the community sector? Do you live, work or are well connected in the south east of Glasgow? Do you support our aims to build a community across the south east of Glasgow which is actively welcoming, inclusive, and anti-racist?
We’re looking for several new people to join the South East Integration Network board of trustees.
In this role, you will help shape the direction of the organisation and the network – and support SEIN to achieve its aims; connecting SEIN members, and furthering community integration activity in the south east of Glasgow (read Our Mission).
We would welcome people with the following experience:
fundraising
HR
understanding of the third sector in Scotland / charity management
lived experience of migration into the local area
none of the above / no experience on a board (the main criteria for joining is your enthusiasm for furthering the work that we do)
Time Commitment
Time commitment is a big question for most people when thinking about joining a board. We hope that the time you give to SEIN will be rewarding and beneficial to you, however, we will do our best to make sure the role can work around your life, work and other commitments.
Further Information
We would like the SEIN board to reflect the diversity of the network, and welcome interest and applications from people from all ages, stages and backgrounds. If you are interested, but feel you have specific barriers to joining (such as caring commitments or feel you lack the experience), please let us know so we can talk about how we can address these and make it possible for you.
We are hoping to recruit up to four new members, so please do let us know if you are open/keen to put yourself forward.
Please get in touch if you would like to ask any questions, or have a chat about this opportunity & how it could work for you.

“The SEIN board has given me opportunities for new learning, and a greater understanding of my local community. It’s given me a huge appreciation for the third sector and the passion and professionalism and resilience in the face of much potential uncertainty. I’m humbled by this after working in public sector all my life.”
– Karen Krawczyk (SEIN Board Member)
