We’re on the lookout for A SAFEGUARDING TRUSTEE!
This is an opportunity for someone with time and willingness to get practically involved in steering the work of our orchestra.
We are looking for someone with experience as a qualified safeguarding lead to join our board. Ideal candidates will have at least 2 years’ experience as a Designated Safeguarding Lead/Officer (or equivalent) in a charity or equivalent professional organisation.
