Non-Exec Directors, Gaydio

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, especially at a higher level, including managing grants
• Events
• Championing social change
• Commercial/media sales
• Radio and/or social media
• Marketing/PR
• Human Resources / leading in diversity & inclusion

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

In particular, 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're also interested in people who are not based in Brighton or Manchester, where currently we have significant representation. We are also particularly keen to attract trans and non-binary people, people from black and minority ethnic communities, and women. However, if you don’t meet this criteria and have something to offer, please still apply.
