Federation of Scottish Theatre (FST) have an exciting new opportunity to join their Board of Trustees.
In a bold step toward broadening their vision and impact, FST recently updated their governing documents to welcome Non-Executive Directors from outside their membership. This change opens the door to fresh ideas, diverse expertise, and valuable insights from beyond the arts—strengthening FST’s leadership and enriching their work.They have identified the need for new Trustees and are looking for candidates with skills and experience in the following areas: Financial; HR/Legal; Public Policy & Research.
FST are actively working to build a Board and staff team that reflects the richness and variety of the communities they serve, believing that diversity fuels creativity and strengthens leadership. They’re looking for curious and collaborative thinkers — people who bring different perspectives and challenge the status quo. They particularly welcome applications from people of colour, gender-diverse individuals, disabled people, and others whose voices have historically been underrepresented in their sector. This is a space where your voice matters — and will be heard.
FST’s Board of Trustees work on a voluntary basis and meet four times a year. They welcome candidates from all over Scotland and can facilitate online attendance at meetings as required.
