(Applications for this role are now closed)

We're pleased to open up our recruitment of non-executive Directors across Gaydio. We have several key areas where we feel there are skills gaps, or where additional people in these areas would be beneficial, including:

• Finance (including managing grants)
• Events
• Championing social change
• Commercial/media sales
• Radio and/or social media
• Marketing/PR
• Human Resources / leading in diversity & inclusion
• Legal

The role of a Director is a senior appointment, especially in a growing organisation, and we're looking for people who can demonstrate they have some or all of the following skills and experience:

• Passionate about working and improving the lives of LGBTQ+ people including a commitment to our mission and vision
• Strong analytical skills
• Strategic thinker, looking for creative ways to approach problems
• Favors a collaborative working style
• Understanding of risk management in a similar-sized organisation
• An understanding of our legal commitments as an Ofcom-regulated organisation, which often involves working with young and vulnerable people (desirable)
• Experience of working with senior management, up to board level
• A willingness and commitment to attend at least 10 board meetings per year

We are keen to enhance our representation geographically across the UK as well as ensuring that we represent the wider LGBTQ+ community. You should also have an understanding, ideally from lived experience, of the community that we're here to represent and serve.

We want to ensure the Board accurately reflects the diverse community and so are particularly keen to attract those who meet the above criteria who identify as women, bisexual, trans or non-binary and those from black and ethnic minority backgrounds. We're also particularly interested in people who are not based across the UK but not in Brighton or Manchester, where we currently have significant representation. If you don’t meet this criteria and have something to offer, please still apply.
