About spunout

spunout is Ireland’s youth information and support platform, working towards an Ireland where all young people are supported and empowered to thrive.

About the opportunity

spunout is seeking a number of new Directors with expertise in the following areas:

• Fundraising
• Finance
• Human Resources/People
• Information Technology/Cybersecurity

The successful Fundraising candidates will join the Board immediately. Other candidates will join a related Committee for a period of six months or longer, moving to full Board membership as current Directors complete their respective terms on a phased basis through 2025/26.

We would also welcome applicants who would like to be considered for upcoming non-Director volunteer roles with our Sub-Committees (Finance, Fundraising, Governance, People) or indeed people who have Clinical Governance experience (typically clinical psychologist/psychiatrist).

Recruitment

spunout and its Board proudly holds diversity, equality and inclusion as important principles for how we operate, and recruit our staff and board members alike. We are happy to offer a conversation with an existing Board member to answer any questions that might support a decision to apply for our Board.

If you feel you have the skills and passion to make a solid contribution and commitment to the governance and oversight of spunout, but lack confidence or certainty as to your suitability as a Director or Committee member, reach out for a conversation. This is a feeling shared perhaps by many past Directors who have made an outstanding contribution to the organisation over the years. It also allows us to get to know the person beyond the CV or covering letter, and allows us to live the value of inclusion mentioned above. Don't let impostor syndrome or any other concern hold you back!

Applications and deadline

Interested parties should provide their CV and a covering letter via this Bamboo HR application form outlining their motivation and relevant experience. Queries may be directed to governance@spunout.ie.

The closing date for applications is Tuesday 18th March 2025.
