Who Can Apply
No previous panel experience is required. We want to build a diverse panel who can also bring knowledge of the areas covered by the fund. We welcome applications from people who:
What You’ll Commit To
The panel meets at least once a year, but the role involves more than attending a single meeting. You will also need time to prepare, read papers, take part in training, engage in discussions, and occasionally support press or community opportunities. Meetings may be in person in Argyll, online, or hybrid. Panel members serve a five-year term and receive a fee of £1,000 per year for their contribution.
You will receive a full induction and training from our Community Investment Team who have many years of experience in delivering funds, and they’ll continue to provide support and guidance as needed.
Successful panellists will be engaged under a contract for services, not a contract of employment. As a result, this engagement does not carry employee status or eligibility for employee benefits.
