About the role
We are seeking two dynamic individuals to join our Executive Board who are committed to assisting homeless women escaping domestic and family violence on the Northern Beaches.
As a committed Board member, you will be required to undertake on average a couple of hours of work a week and to meet with other Board members on a monthly basis to discuss the strategy and oversee ongoing governance of the Shelter.
We are specifically looking for individuals with Family Law or Strategic Planning experience – however we are open to receiving applications from people of all backgrounds and experiences.
