Independent Non-Executive Director (non-remunerated)
About The King’s Foundation
The King’s Foundation aims to create communities where People, Places and the Planet coexist in harmony. We champion sustainable nature-led solutions to the challenges facing communities and the planet, through protecting heritage knowledge and assets, promoting harmonious living and working, and practicing how to best pass on nature’s timeless skills.
The work of The King’s Foundation is inspired by our Founder HM The King’s philosophy of harmony: that by understanding the balance, the order and the relationships between ourselves and the natural world we can create a more sustainable future.
For more than 40 years His Majesty has been at the forefront of championing sustainability. During the last decade the impact of natural resource depletion, climate change and rapid urbanisation has become evident and widely understood. The work of The King’s Foundation is inspired by the belief that only by taking a holistic view can we create a sustainable future to meet the needs of our world.
About the Role
The King’s Foundation is seeking to appoint an Independent Non-Executive Director to three of its trading subsidiaries: Dumfries House Trust Trading Limited; Castle and Gardens of Mey Limited and AG Carrick Limited. These subsidiary boards meet on average twice per year, and the role has a time commitment of approximately 15-20 hours per annum taking preparation and review time into account.
Ideally, we are looking for an individual with experience in the retail and hospitality sector, with prior board-level experience.
The role will be wholly independent of the charity, to provide insight, expertise and oversight to the three trading subsidiaries, for a term of three years, subject to a six month probation period.
This is a rewarding opportunity to share your expertise and experience to shape our future. The role is unremunerated, although travel expenses are covered if there is a requirement to travel.
