Trustees with Finance / Fundraising and Governance / Legal experience

Friends of Breastfeeding is seeking a Finance/Fundraising Trustee and a Governance/Legal Trustee to join our Board of Trustees.

FoBF is a completely voluntary run registered charity, providing peer breastfeeding support all over Ireland. We are a small but committed team and take great satisfaction in positively impacting the development, health, learning and wellbeing of Irish children, as well as maternal health and wellbeing.

The Role:

We are seeking individuals with training or experience of fundraising and/or governance in the charitable sector. We particularly welcome applications from people with business development, communications and marketing expertise. Previous voluntary experience serving on a charitable board or committee is desirable.

Board meetings are held quarterly. All meetings are held remotely.

This is an exciting opportunity to join our organisation at a pivotal time as we implement our first ever strategic plan. If you want to play a key role in scaling the charity and improving the health of Irish women and children we are eager to hear from you.

Required Skills:

Charity trustees may not profit from carrying out their duties as a charity trustee or receive remuneration for acting as a charity trustee. The individual assuming the role must not be disqualified from acting as a charity trustee. We do provide support for training courses and skills development relevant to the duties of a trustee.

Breastfeeding awareness: It is not necessary for applicants to have personal knowledge or experience of breastfeeding, however, a willingness to learn about the benefits of breastfeeding and support the important work of the charity is critical.

If you are interested in this role, please submit your CV and cover letter outlining why you think you would be suitable for the role, to enquiries@friendsofbreastfeeding.ie 
Closing date for applications is 30 July 2024.
