Board members with experience in debt advice, learning and development, social policy research, HR, legal or company secretarial

MABS Support is seeking a number of board members to augment the capacity of the Board and compliment the skills of existing board members. We are particularly interested in hearing from individuals with experience in debt advice, learning and development, social policy research, HR, legal or company secretarial.

The Board is voluntary and therefore no fees are paid to Board members; however, travel and subsistence expenses will be paid when applicable. The Board generally meets monthly other than in August and December. Most board meetings are held virtually, with the board meeting in person two - three times annually. Appointments are initially for a term of three years, which can be renewed.

The Money Advice and Budgeting Service (MABS) is a free, confidential and non-judgmental money advice and budgeting service for all members of the public.  MABS works with people experiencing financial difficulties and serves a broad client base including budgeting advice to support people with personal debt issues.  The MABS service is provided by eight regional MABS companies operating from over 60 locations nationwide. MABS is funded by the Citizens Information Board (CIB). 

MABS SUPPORT CLG is a separate entity, dedicated to the provision of supports to the MABS staff in the regional network of companies and providing specialist expertise in a range of areas including learning and professional development, expert technical advice on cases, polices, procedures and quality standards and publications.  MABS Support also works with its stakeholders (MABS Regions and CIB) in relation to data analysis, social policy and research and providing support to the MABS regions in money management education (financial inclusion and prevention of over-indebtedness).
