Livingston James Group is delighted to be Retained by Leisure & Culture Dundee to Appoint new Board Trustees. Leisure & Culture Dundee (L&CD) is an independent Scottish charity that delivers many of Dundee’s leisure, sport, library, cultural and heritage services on behalf of the city. From leisure centres and wellbeing programmes to museums, libraries, events and cultural venues, its services make a positive difference to the lives of millions of residents and visitors every year.
Guided by its values of service excellence, collaboration, innovation and inclusion, the organisation is committed to creating a healthier, more connected and vibrant Dundee. As it delivers its Corporate Strategy 2025-2029, Leisure & Culture Dundee is seeking two new independent Trustees to help shape the next chapter of its journey.
As a Trustee, the successful candidate will play an important strategic role in supporting the governance, sustainability and long-term success of Leisure & Culture Dundee.
Working alongside fellow Trustees, elected members and the Senior Management Team, the postholder will help shape organisational strategy, oversee performance and financial stewardship, ensure effective risk management and provide constructive challenge to support sound decision-making.
This is an opportunity for an individual to contribute their expertise to an organisation that has a significant impact on communities across Dundee, while developing valuable Board-level experience within a supportive and collaborative environment.
The commitment averages circa one to two days per month and includes Board meetings, Committee participation, strategic planning activities and attendance at key organisational events. Appointments are for a six-year term commencing following the AGM in November 2026.
Leisure & Culture Dundee is looking for people who are passionate about improving lives through leisure, sport, culture and learning, and who can bring fresh perspectives, strategic insight and strong professional judgement to its Board.
Previous Trustee experience is not essential. Applications are welcomed from individuals who can demonstrate leadership experience, sound decision-making skills and a commitment to good governance.
The organisation is particularly interested in candidates with expertise in:
- Digital Leadership and Digital Transformation: Experience using technology to improve services, accessibility, customer experience and organisational effectiveness.
- Income Generation and Diversification: Experience in commercial growth, fundraising, partnerships, business development or creating sustainable income streams.
Those looking for an opportunity to contribute their skills to an organisation at the heart of Dundee’s communities while helping shape its future direction are encouraged to apply.
