About the role

The Maya Centre is looking to increase the number of clinical trustees on the Board who would work closely with the CEO and Clinical Director to facilitate the Clinical Governance Group. 

The Trustee role is a step removed from day-to-day clinical work the staff at the Centre complete. 

• The time commitment is about 3 hours a month.
• Board meetings take place every alternate month from 6:30-8pm.
• The CGG meets in the in-between months for about an hour (this is during working hours and the time can be flexible). Currently all of this happens virtually and the CGG will remain virtual.
• Once a year there is an in-person AGM in November and an in-person strategy away day.
