We want to inspire more environmental action. Can you help us? We're looking for people to join our Board of Charity Trustees to help us with our ambition to make Scotland clean, green and sustainable.

Do you want to join our Board of Charity Trustees and help reduce litter and waste, combat climate change, restore nature and biodiversity and help to protect and enhance the places we all care about?

At Keep Scotland Beautiful we support people, organisations and their communities to improve the quality of their lives, their wellbeing and their environment.

We provide a wide range of programmes and services including Climate Action Schools, Climate Emergency Training, Spring Clean Scotland and we undertake environmental auditing and awards, work with communities to explore and protect heritage as well as working to influence environmental policy.

Charity Trustees set the direction, strategy and policies for Keep Scotland Beautiful as well as being responsible for its governance. Charity Trustees provide guidance and support to the Chief Executive and wider team. We need people who want to make a difference, whatever their background.

We're looking to broaden the background and skills of our Board of Charity Trustees and ensure that modern Scotland is reflected.

So, whether you’re an experienced Charity Trustee, want to take your first steps at board level, or just care deeply about what we’re trying to do, we’d love to hear from you. We will provide training and ongoing support.

We know we have some gaps so if you have skills in behaviour change, HR, management (including financial planning, commercialisation or accountancy) we'd love to hear from you. But don’t be put off if that’s not your particular experience, we’re actively looking for diversity of opinion and experience.  

You can find out more about Keep Scotland Beautiful including our latest Charity Trustee Annual Report and Accounts and our Impact Report. Our Chair Tom Brock and our Chief Executive Barry Fisher would be delighted to have an informal chat with you about the role.

The full Person Specification can be viewed below.

Interviews will take place on 5 and 10 June 2025.
