Trustee Of The Rainbow Project

The Rainbow Project was founded in 1994 in response to the HIV and Aids epidemic. Since then the organisation has developed into a leading LGBTQIA+ organisation working across Northern Ireland. We provide support services to mitigate the impacts of inequality while working to deliver full social and legal equality for LGBTQIA+ people.

We are particularly interested applications from:

• Trans, non-binary and gender non-conforming people;
• Black and minority ethnic people; and
• Younger people

We are also interested in applicants with expertise in but not limited to the following areas:

• Charitable governance and risk;
• Sexual health;
• Mental health;
• Movement building

On average, Trustees should be prepared to commit around 8 hours of their time per quarter to the role. The time commitment for a member of the Board of Trustees includes attendance at Board of Trustees meeting once per quarter, which is usually held on a Saturday morning for 3 hrs.

In addition to the main Board, Trustees will normally sit on one sub-committee, either the Governance & Assurance Sub-Committee or the Strategy, Sustainability and Fundraising Sub-Committee, sub-committee meetings last around 2 hrs per quarter and are normally remote on a Tuesday or Thursday evening.

Please submit your completed application form by e-mail to [email protected] or by post to Recruitment, The Rainbow Project, Belfast LGBT Centre, 23-31 Waring Street, Belfast, BT1 2DX before Monday 13th May at 10am.
