Moreover, we are looking for individuals with strategic vision, independent judgement, a passion for helping older people, and a willingness to give time and commitment to represent our organisation and its values.
Age UK Wiltshire recognises the positive value of diversity, promotes equality and challenges discrimination. We welcome and encourage job applications from people of all backgrounds. We particularly welcome applications from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) candidates as BAME, women and young people are currently under-represented on our board.
