Trustee

We are looking for new Board members to support our work and bring new skills, expertise and ideas for the future of our organisation.

Having welcomed our Director Salma Tuqan in 2023, we are in an important moment in Nottingham Contemporary’s history as we deliver a transformative process of rearticulating our purpose and shaping our future. This includes securing our long-term financial standing by developing and working towards ambitious and entrepreneurial income generation strategies and building on new and existing partnerships, members and supporters, alongside delivering innovative, inspiring and engaging exhibitions, programmes and workshops.

In particular, we are looking for trustees with expertise in one or more of the below areas: 

·       Legal

·       Financial / commercial

·       The Nottingham civic or community sector

·       Education

·       HR and people management

Time commitment: We would normally expect trustees to prepare for and take part in 4–5 Board meetings per year. In addition, trustees will help develop key pieces of work. Overall, this will require about 50 hours over a year. 

Payment: The role is an unpaid voluntary position. Reasonable travel expenses incurred taking part will be met. 

Access: Information about our access statement and facilities can be found here.

Benefits: We offer mutually devised mentoring and training opportunities, based upon the needs and interests of new trustees. The role can provide opportunities for the development of experiences and networks in the cultural sector and beyond.
