Onboard brings together the need of third sector organisation to attract experienced managers onto boards of trustees / directors, and the increasing need of experienced managers and directors to gain further experience and to be engaged in relevant professional activity to increase their chances of employment or career progression, as well as ‘giving something back’.
Third Sector organisations can post board vacancies along with a specification of skills, knowledge and expected levels of commitment.
Experienced Managers can specify the type of experience and skills they can offer and express interest in different fields whether that be young people or elderly, faith based or community led.
