Rising Together is seeking a new voluntary Board member with strong connections across the corporate and business community.

Through our training programmes, we provide practical skills development, meaningful work experience and pathways to paid employment for adults with intellectual disabilities.

We are looking for an experienced professional who can help us:

• Build relationships with businesses and corporate partners.
• Identify sponsorship, CSR and employee-engagement opportunities.
• Introduce Rising Together to relevant professional networks.
• Develop sustainable corporate partnerships.
• Provide strategic guidance as our programmes grow.

The ideal candidate will have:

• Strong connections within the corporate or business community.
• Experience in business development, corporate partnerships, CSR, marketing or fundraising.
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
• An understanding of non profit governance or a willingness to learn.
• A genuine commitment to disability inclusion and supported employment.

This is a voluntary Board position and an opportunity to use your experience and professional network to create meaningful employment pathways for adults with intellectual disabilities.

Board meetings are held approximately every six to eight weeks, with additional support or introductions provided between meetings when appropriate.

Previous Board experience is beneficial but not essential. We welcome applications from people with diverse professional and personal backgrounds.
