VODG is seeking to appoint three new trustees to its Board to help lead in the development of the organisation as we continue to grow and increase our influence externally. To help achieve our ambitious plans to support our members, we are particularly seeking senior leaders with expertise in any of the following areas:
  • Campaigns, policy and influencing
  • Education, skills and employability services
  • User led approaches to planning and delivery of services
VODG trustees are senior leaders within their respective organisations – Chief Executives and Senior Directors. Over the past three years VODG has successfully broadened diversity among the Board and we remain committed to seeking applications from across all parts of our membership, in particular leaders with lived experience of disability/long term health conditions. We are keen to ensure that the Board is representative of both the different types of member organisations and of the people members support, including services supporting people with neurodiversity, mental health conditions, physical and sensory disabilities.
  
Tim Cooper is happy to have informal conversations with members interested in learning more about these opportunities. Please email [email protected] to arrange an appointment
