OSCR is Scotland’s charity regulator and registrar for over 24,500 Scottish charities. As a Non-Ministerial Office (NMO) within the Scottish Administration, OSCR works alongside but is separate from the Scottish Government. We work with charities, stakeholders and the public to regulate in a way which builds trust and confidence in the Scottish charity sector.

The OSCR Board plays a vital role in setting the strategic direction of the organisation, shaping its vision and ensuring that our activities focus on the delivery of key priorities. The Board also works with the Chief Executive to monitor performance.

We are currently seeking one new Board member to join the OSCR Board. If you are passionate about Scotland’s charity sector and believe you can make a meaningful contribution, we encourage you to apply.

We welcome applications from individuals with expertise or knowledge in one or more of one of the following areas:

• Engaging with under-represented groups
