**Board Director Opportunities**
**Volunteering Gold Coast Ltd**
Volunteering Gold Coast is a community-based not-for-profit working to strengthen connection, inclusion and wellbeing across the Gold Coast. Since 1998, we have helped people find ways to contribute, stay connected, and access the support they need to remain active in their community.
Our work includes community transport, aged care and disability support, and volunteering programs that bring people together and reduce loneliness and isolation. Every day, we see the difference that connection makes — for individuals, families and the wider community.
We are now inviting expressions of interest from people who would like to contribute at a governance level by joining our Board of Directors.
**Why join the Board?**
Joining the Board of Volunteering Gold Coast is an opportunity to use your experience to support practical, community-based work that has real impact.
As a Non-Executive Director, you will help guide the organisation’s strategy, ensure strong and responsible governance, and support decisions that allow the organisation to grow in a sustainable way while staying true to its purpose.
We are particularly interested in people who value community, understand the importance of social connection, want to contribute their skills in a thoughtful and constructive way, and have lived experience of volunteering.
We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, including those with lived experience of disability, caring roles, or community service use.
**About the role**
We are currently seeking expressions of interest for two voluntary Board Director positions.
The role involves:
- Attending approximately 10 Board meetings per year
- Participation in one annual strategy session and the AGM
- Involvement in a Board sub-committee where relevant
- Preparation and reading between meetings
This is an unpaid governance role. Reasonable expenses may be reimbursed.
No prior Board experience is required, although an understanding of governance or willingness to learn is important.
**Skills and experience we are seeking**
We are looking to broaden the mix of skills on the Board and would particularly welcome experience in:
- Financial management, audit or risk
- Strategic planning
- Technology, systems or digital transformation
Just as important as technical skills is a commitment to the values of community, inclusion, respect and volunteering.
We also encourage applications from people with a strong connection to the Gold Coast region.
**Requirements**
Directors are required to hold, or be willing to obtain:
- National Police Check
- Blue Card (Working with Children Check)
- NDIS Worker Screening clearance
- Director ID
- Any relevant compliance checks required for the role
Support will be provided where needed.
