Creative Dundee is looking for new voluntary Board Directors who can help propel us forward in our aim to support creative individuals and organisations, and ensure the city is a sustainable, thriving place to live, work and grow in.

As a small and ambitious operational team, our Board is critical to our relevance, generating ripple effects that benefit the sustainability of creative communities, our sector and place.

Two of these positions will be for young people who would like to join us and gain experience of being part of a Board. We understand that joining a Board can feel intimidating or if you feel like your voice may not be heard; our Directors will provide mentoring and support to ensure you’re able to fully contribute and develop skills, and make certain that the views of young people are represented within the organisation and wider community.

We’re looking for people with expertise and enthusiasm who will play an active role in providing leadership and direction to the organisation. In return we offer the opportunity to work with an innovative organisation which has collaboration, quality and experimentation at its core.
