You!
Our Trustees are an integral part of our community organisation.

We want you to enjoy your time with us, feel able to contribute and that you are receiving something of value during your time with us. Our small, connected board is values and people-led. We like to have a laugh, make good choices and do not shy away from difficult conversations if they are needed. 

Come join us!

The board and staff team:
Our team is made up of people with lived experience (personal and family), as well as supporters of recovery. We encourage people to share their stories with us, believing we can all relate to the process of recovery, whether we have personal experience or not. We have all experienced challenges and the need to overcome them. 

All our ways of working are underpinned by the values and beliefs of our organisation. If these resonate with you and you are ready to join our team, please read more about the role. 

The board:
You will join a supportive, passionate board who use their skills to govern our community organisation whilst being open to learning new things. Our board emulates our organisational culture, ensuring our flat hierarchy and peer approach runs throughout decision making and governance.

The board is upbeat, reflective and is open to trying new things when they are informed by our members and strategic thinking. They are not afraid to ‘take a leap’ when it makes sense or to challenge when necessary – this is what RC is built upon!

The board is made up of people with a range of skills and passion who unite on passionately supporting Recovery Cymru to help our members change their lives. 

What's expected?
Time commitment will vary depending on the time of year and the sub-projects being worked on, but Board meetings are held every six weeks, with some tasks in between. We can discuss this more in detail upon receiving your application.
