Trustee

DanceSyndrome are currently looking for new Trustees to join our family, alongside our existing team, to support the continued growth of our organisation. A charity since 2013, DanceSyndrome has established itself as the leader of inclusive dance in the North West and is considered to be one of its kind with its unique selling point of dancers with learning disabilities at the forefront of all activities and decisions from workshop delivery to choreography and performance to providing feedback to the board and as trustees themselves.

We are based in Lancashire but welcome applications for remote Trustees. We currently have Trustees based in Portugal and the Netherlands.

The role of Trustee is a volunteer role and is not accompanied by any financial remuneration, although reasonable expenses for travel may be claimed (when relevant).

The role requires attendance & contribution at four Board meetings per year and any required prep work, and the Annual General Meeting (AGM). Quarterly Board Meetings take place online or in person at a North West location.

There will also be potential additional engagement in strategy work and sub working groups throughout the year and occasional representation of the charity at various events with key stakeholders.
