TreeLink Stirling is recruiting Trustees

Our mission is to grow, plant, care for and speak up for trees in the Stirling area

TreeLink has grown quickly over the last few years and we now need more people to help run this dynamic and successful environmental charity.

Could you give some time to join our friendly team and make a difference?

We are growing our Board of Trustees to twelve members and are recruiting three people with specific skills to help develop our exciting plans for the future. Our Board can co-opt new trustees up to twelve at any time; the membership then vote to confirm the positions at the AGM in April.

These are unpaid posts but offer valuable opportunities to gain experience, meet new people, learn new skills and gain an insight into the running of a charity.

Closing date for applications 15th September at 12 noon.

1) Secretary

This is a vital role for our Charity, and involves monitoring email, organising agendas & meetings, taking minutes, maintaining membership records etc. You will need to be able to plan ahead, organise, prioritise, meet deadlines. Good teamwork & liaison with trustees are essential, and experience of record-keeping & awareness of data protection would be helpful.

2) Volunteer Support / Manager

Welcome and induction of new volunteers, some record-keeping, attending practical events when possible. Regularly assess training needs & volunteer satisfaction. Ensure volunteers adhere to Health & Safety policy and Code of Conduct. A friendly, welcoming team player who enjoys practical tasks and can take the lead in running some volunteer events.

3) Trustee - Project Management

As well as a strong interest in the work of TreeLink Stirling we are seeking someone who has some project management experience to help to run our ambitious programme of woodland development around the Crown of Trees project (Link to CoT page here). You will be able to work well with partners, community groups and funding organisations and provide reports to the Board and funders. Experience of funding bids, budget monitoring and community consultation would be helpful.

The TreeLink Board meets monthly from September to June, usually in-person in central Stirling but with scope to join on Teams remotely.
