Key responsibilities include

- Act in the best interests of Community SOS and support its vision, purpose and values.
- Contribute to the organisation’s governance, strategic direction and business planning.
- Help ensure the organisation is managed constitutionally, legally and financially, and that relevant policies and procedures are in place and followed.
- Exercise reasonable care, prepare for and participate in Board meetings, and contribute constructively to discussions and decisions.
- Help oversee the organisation’s financial position, budgets, resources and accountability obligations.

We welcome people with skills or experience in areas such as law or employment law, human resources, project management, community development,
