Cosáin CLG is a registered charity offering peer led support in the community to promote recovery from mental health challenges.
We have been providing peer supports, cultural activities, and psycho education, along with service user consultation work. As our organization has grown and our activities increased we require additional expertise and support to continue our mission.
We are looking for a Chairperson and a Company Secretary with the skills and experience to assist with the challenges of corporate governance and compliance for a user-led organisation and social enterprise.
The ideal candidates will have personal experience of mental health challenges and recovery, as we require our Board members to have an understanding of mental health challenges and recovery. However you don’t have to have experienced such challenges personally to apply for either of these roles. People with such experience and a significant level of recovery such as to enable you to commit reliably to carrying out the role are, of course, very welcome to apply.
We would like the successful applicants to commit to volunteering with us for at least one year and work with us on the requisite policies and procedures and compliance.
