Board Vacancy
Join the Playgroup WA Board
We are inviting applications to become a Playgroup WA Board Member and contribute to the governance and future direction of our organisation.
About the Role
The Board’s role is to
- set long-term goals and objectives for Playgroup WA to ensure it continues to be relevant and supportive to our thousands of member families,
- provide support and direction to the CEO on the implementation of strategies to achieve these goals,
- monitor compliance with policies, financial and legal requirements, and
- maintain effective communications with members.
Board meetings are held monthly (in-person and/or online) between school and business hours. Childcare is provided when attending in-person. Board members also participate in one of the Board’s subcommittees.
Skills and Experience
Current board membership is diverse, with a range of experience and skills to ensure good governance and strategic direction. We have several vacancies for engaged board members with a keen interest in the development of the under 5’s who have a connection, understanding and commitment to playgroups.
Previous Board or Management Committee experience is not essential, however will be viewed favourably.
About Playgroup WA
Playgroup WA is the not-for-profit peak body for approximately 1000 community, parent-led playgroup sessions, as well as the growing professional playgroup sector. Its role is to build community capacity to support families and children to thrive through connections in their local community.
Research shows children who attend playgroup are less likely to be developmentally vulnerable when they start school. Playgroup WA’s work in supporting children, families and communities throughout Western Australia remains as important today as when it started.
If you are interested in joining the Board of Playgroup WA, please send an updated CV and covering letter to sandy.davidson@playgroupwa.com.au.
The closing date for applications is 14 September 2024.
