Join our Board of Trustees!

Circle is seeking new Trustees who are passionate about helping us to achieve our vision for all children to be safe, healthy, nurtured, and happy within a stable family which supports them to achieve their potential.

We are a children and families charity working at the heart of communities across central Scotland. Our services support families with children affected by substance use, parental imprisonment, domestic violence, mental health and the wider effects of poverty and structural inequality.

Circle’s approach builds on strengths, is solution focussed and uses a whole family approach to create a family environment that promotes healthy development in children.

To support the next phase of our development we are recruiting additional board members with a wide range of experience and abilities. We are particularly interested in hearing from candidates who have lived experience of the care system, justice, recovery, early years services, or the wider effects of poverty.
