What will you be doing?
DriveAbility Scotland provides driver assessments for disabled and older people, enabling them to start or resume driving, the key to independent mobility, particularly in remote and isolated parts of the country. The service also identifies drivers who are not fit to drive, a significant contribution to road safety.
What are we looking for?
Skills and experience in financial monitoring and control Fundraising Governance Experience of dealing at senior level with key stakeholders, including Scottish and local governments.
What difference will you make?
The trustees bring additional skills to the existing small and energetic Board, to improve governance, financial oversight, and assist in finding long-term financial stability from new sources, including the Scottish Government. The current service provision of driver (and passenger) assessments in Scotland lags far behind that in England; such provision as does exist is located primarily in the Central Belt. The strategic goal of the charity DriveAbility Scotland is to develop existing and additional services across the whole country, by setting up satellite and outreach operations. Trustees will act as negotiators and facilitators for this process.
