As the national sector support organisation for arts, health and well-being we are committed to driving the sustainable development and growth of a thriving, representative and inclusive arts and health sector in Wales that connects and supports arts and health professionals, and champions creative participation. Our rapidly expanding membership of nearly 1000 members represents the arts, health and HE sectors working across the full range of art form practice in health, arts and other community settings. WAHWN is proud of its central role within a growing number of key partnership initiatives and our position to provide a national voice for the sector at a strategic level.
We’re looking for individuals who will widen the range of skills, knowledge and perspectives within our board. Our current workforce and leadership does not reflect the diversity of lived experiences so we especially encourage applications from people whose heritage, identity or voice are not commonly represented in the arts, health and culture sectors including people from global majority identities and backgrounds.
Most importantly we want people who bring enthusiasm, imagination and commitment to the role of WAHWN trustee. If you value creativity as an essential tool in people’s health and wellbeing, we’d love to hear from you.
- The closing date for applying to join our board of trustees is 15th January 2025.
- We will arrange conversations with applicants in late January, with the aim of confirming appointments before end March 2025.
The Trustee Director roles are voluntary and unpaid. We offer expenses to meet travel costs and to support individual personal access needs. You can be based anywhere in the UK as the majority of meetings can be joined online; we ask trustees to commit to joining us in-person at least once per year.
How to Apply
- Please complete our simple Expression of Interest Form , which asks why you are interested in the role (max 500 words) and to upload a CV.
- We can accept a video or audio recording providing the same information.
- We also ask you to complete an anonymous Equalities, Diversity and Inclusion questionnaire, to help us understand more about who we are reaching.
Please send your application to info@wahwn.cymru by 15th January 2025.
