Help us to build solutions to poverty and trauma in Scotland

The Robertson Trust’s mission across this decade is to prevent and reduce poverty and trauma in Scotland, by funding, supporting and influencing solutions to drive social change.We have committed to spend an average of £25M per year to advance our goals – and we have prepared a new Social Impact Investment plan that will see us invest up to £20M in addition to our core grant-making activities.

We shape our contribution around four primary themes: Financial Security, Work Pathways, Education Pathways and Emotional Wellbeing & Relationships. We also seek to build solutions that deliver our cross-cutting objectives on climate change and our DEI approach which we call EDPR (Equity, Diversity, Participation and Rights).

In December 2024, Mark Batho will be finishing his term as Chair of the Board, and we will be seeking his successor to help us to drive forward our important mission. We are open to new ideas, perspectives, and challenge. We know that we will only achieve lasting solutions to poverty and trauma by getting closer to those who are experts by experience as well as those who seek to serve them.

We are seeking an individual who is passionate about our work and are keen to hear from candidates who bring a strong understanding of governance, with experience as a main-board executive and/or non-executive director, whether in the commercial, public, or not-for-profit sectors. Previous Chairing experience would be desirable.

If you feel your skills can help us and you share our commitment to build lasting solutions to poverty and trauma in Scotland, we would love to hear from you.
