Could you be our new trustee?

Our trustees play an important strategic role in developing the organisational goals that help shape our direction of travel as one of Scotland’s largest mental health charities, and we’re currently looking for new people to join our team of board members.

Chair of the Penumbra Board, Laura Reid says, “this year is especially exciting for us as we embark on the development of our new strategic plan and a brand refresh. Our new trustees will be joining us at a significant time in our growth when our expertise in distress and trauma informed support has seen us partner in some high profile national projects including the Scottish Government’s National Suicide Prevention Leadership Group, Future Pathways and Distress Brief Intervention.

“Our innovative I.ROC wellbeing toolkit is a unique hallmark for our ‘Penumbra Approach’ to mental health recovery, earning our place in sector as a well-respected and forward thinking mental health charity, and key influencer in policy and practice.

If you believe in the third sector as a powerful driver for social change and feel passionately about being a part of developing the future direction of mental health services and policy in Scotland, then we want to hear from you.

This is a voluntary role and out of pocket expenses will be met. Penumbra is committed to equality and diversity, and we would encourage applications from people from all walks of life including people who have their own or their families experience of mental ill health.
