Llamau is daring to imagine a world without homelessness – will you help us to create it?
We are very fortunate at Llamau to have a vibrant Board made up of committed individuals who share Llamau’s aim of ending homelessness in Wales.
We are specifically seeking individuals who are equally passionate about our mission, can think strategically, make connections and contribute energetically to debates.
As a member of the Board of Trustees, you will have ultimate responsibility for the governance of Llamau.
We are looking for trustees who share our values, have a strong social conscience and are ready to use their skills and strategic experience to make a difference to the services we offer – both now and in the future.
We aim to have a diverse and inclusive Board and strongly encourage applicants from a wide range of backgrounds to apply and join Llamau’s Board.
Llamau believes that the more diverse we are, the stronger we will be
