Board members at George Gray Centre are an essential part of our organisation and contribute towards our Vision, Mission and Values to assist participants and their families to achieve their goals.

About the Board Member Trainee role

The George Gray Centre Board Traineeship program offers the opportunity to join the GGC Board as an observer for a 12-month period. As a Trainee, you will participate in discussions and governance activities without the duties and responsibilities that apply to director positions. This is an excellent opportunity to develop practical and strategic governance skills in a professional, supportive environment.

We actively encourage applications from people living with a disability as well as other diverse lived experiences to apply. This may take the form of educational, work or personal experiences that will be relevant and useful to the role. GGC welcomes applications from all backgrounds and identities.

As a Board Trainee, you will:

• Be provided extensive support and guidance via an induction process and a mentorship with an existing Board Member,
• Attend all GGC Board Meetings,
• Receive training opportunities,
• Undertake professional development,
• Attend the GGC Annual General Meeting in 2024 to share traineeship experiences with members and
• Enthusiastically represent GGC at events and meetings.
