Trustee opportunities at Hansel

Since 1963, Hansel has been focused on breaking down barriers faced by people with additional support needs, creating inclusive environments, opportunities, and choices to enable people living in Ayrshire to live independent and fulfilling lives.

Our mission is to ensure we deliver empowering support so every person feels included and experiences equality, choice, dignity, compassion, and respect. We are a leading social care charity with a unique organisational structure placing innovation and passion at the forefront of delivering real change through a range of services and opportunities for the people that we work for.

We are recruiting four new Trustees to join our board and are looking for people with a range of skillsets such as: legal, social care, employability, social enterprise, marketing, public sector commissioning, investment management and fundraising. We welcome applications from individuals with experience of being a carer in any capacity.

Managing Director, Gerry Lindsay said “The non-executive director team at Hansel make a significant contribution to the organisation’s success, bringing a breadth of knowledge and experience that is invaluable to our journey as a local charity.  Although the primary responsibility of our charity trustees is to oversee Hansel’s governance and strategy, we welcome the commitment from them to proactively engage with our people; members of our management team, front-line team members, and most importantly, people accessing support through our services.”

From Trustees and management to front line team members and people who use Hansel services, everyone shares a common vision: to give people of all abilities the freedom to live the life they choose.

If you are interested in working alongside like-minded people looking to enhance life choices for individuals, this could be a great opportunity for you.
