Magnetic North is seeking new members to join its small but committed Board of Directors, including a new Chair.
We are looking for people who are keen to become active and energetic champions for Magnetic North. We aim for our board members to reflect the diverse communities of Scotland; we want to hear from a wide range of individuals and are particularly keen to hear from Global Majority and Disabled candidates, and those aged 35 and younger. We are interested in hearing from people with all relevant experience including that gained in a volunteering or personal capacity. We are particularly keen to hear from candidates with experience in fundraising, international touring and partnerships, environmental and green expertise. This may be your first role as a trustee, or you may have current or previous board experience.
Magnetic North is a charity and a company limited by guarantee, governed by a Board of Directors who are also trustees of the charity. Magnetic North is a Creative Scotland Multi-Year Funded organisation.
Board meetings are held 4 times per year in Edinburgh. Board members are expected to attend at least 3 of these meetings and to attend at least 2 Magnetic North performances or other public events each year.
Board members are invited to stand for an initial three year term of office with the option to renew for a second term of three years.
Read the full information pack, including instructions on how to apply, here. the deadline for applications is midday, 31 March 2026.
If you would like to find out more please contact Nicholas Bone (Artistic Director) or Anna Hodgart(Producer) to arrange a meeting. We’d also be happy to put you in touch with one of our current Board members for an informal discussion. If you are interested in becoming Chair, we can also introduce you to our current Chair, Mark Saunders.
