Dumfries and Galloway Advocacy Service
Are you looking for a new challenge? Would you like to help us ensure that people across our region have a voice?
If the answer is yes, then why not join our Board and make a difference to our service and those who use it!
We pride ourselves on providing Independent Advocacy for adults across Dumfries and Galloway, and we are looking for new Trustees to help us shape our future and ensure we meet the targets set out in our strategic plan.
It is not necessary to have previous Board experience, as training will be provided. This would be a great opportunity for someone taking their first steps to develop their charity governance experience.
We greatly value the benefits of having different points of view and experiences on our Board and hope to receive applications from a wide range of talented people irrespective of their religion or belief, gender, age, gender identity, disability, sexual orientation, ethnic origin, political belief, relationship status or caring responsibilities.
