Board Members (Treasurer and Trustees)
Location: Glasgow, Board meetings can be attended either in person or online
Voluntary Positions
Scottish Recovery Consortium (SRC) believes that recovery is a reality for those affected/harmed by problematic substance use. SRC supports, represents, and connects people and communities across Scotland by working with recovery in all its forms. We believe there are many pathways to recovery and collaborate with a range of partners across Scotland—from individuals and grassroots, lived-experience recovery communities to government, and from local and national partners to UK organisations. SRC operates across Scotland, offering a range of activities to support the creation, development, growth, and sustainability of recovery communities. We play a critical role in ensuring the voice of lived experience is heard at both local and national levels, and we use this approach to influence policy and practice. We amplify the voices of people and communities by campaigning, influencing, and evidencing the vital role and impact recovery has in reducing stigma, inequalities, and harm caused by problematic substance use.

Following a period of change and the current Trustees reaching the end of their tenure, the Board has recently conducted a strategic review of its governance arrangements. We are now seeking to appoint new Board Members, including a Treasurer, to help lead the Scottish Recovery Consortium (SRC) into its next chapter.
Treasurer:
As Treasurer, you will provide support and advice in relation to board and financial matters, maintaining an overview of SRC’s financial health. You will ensure that effective and appropriate financial measures, controls, and procedures are in place and consistently followed. At each Board meeting, you will present reports on the charity’s financial performance and overall stability.
We are looking for a highly experienced finance professional with a strong background in accounting, finance, or auditing. Ideally, you will be a qualified accountant with a deep understanding of financial management practices, particularly within the voluntary and community sectors. You will be confident in clearly presenting financial information, ensuring regulatory compliance, and advising the Board on financial strategy and risk.
Board Members:
As a Board Member of the Scottish Recovery Consortium (SRC), you will play a crucial role in overseeing the organisation’s operations, ensuring its activities align with SRC’s vision and mission. Your responsibilities will include helping to shape a clear and effective strategy while offering support and constructive challenge to the executive team, enabling the organisation to grow, thrive, and fulfil its mission.
We are particularly seeking individuals who share a strong commitment to SRC’s vision and bring expertise in one or more of the following areas: academia, research, human resources, or fundraising/funding.
SRC particularly values the perspectives of individuals with lived experience of alcohol and/or drug recovery, including family members, as these insights can help inform and strengthen the organisation’s work.
While previous board experience is beneficial, it is essential that candidates demonstrate strong communication skills, the ability to think creatively and strategically, and the capacity to exercise sound, independent judgement.
Time Commitment:
The SRC Board meets five times a year, including the Annual General Meeting (AGM). Board meetings are accessible either in person at their Glasgow office or online. However, attendance at the AGM is required in person.
