About Moray Wellbeing Hub:
The Moray Wellbeing Hub CIC is a dynamic and innovative organisation that is committed to empowering mental wellbeing in Moray and beyond. Our USP is that we are peer-led, everyone at all levels of the organization is empowered to use not only their professional skills but to harness the learning they hold as humans navigating life’s challenges. We believe that mental health is a fundamental human right, and we are on a mission to ensure that every individual in Moray can access the resources and support they need to thrive. We do this through a strong value set based on mutual peer support, delivering partnership activities such as training, awareness raising, supporting groups and individuals, as well as through setting up physical and virtual ‘safe’ spaces where people can share support and signposting.
Position: Non-Executive Director
As a key figure in our organization, you will play a vital role in steering our vision and strategy to achieve our goals of mental wealth for all in Moray. Your leadership will inspire a team of dedicated individuals, and your commitment will be crucial to driving lasting change within the community. This team aims to be greater than the sum of its parts, representing a diverse range of life experiences, interests, neurodiversity and core skills.
