Be part of something amazing - join Oxfam Ireland's dynamic board

Oxfam is a global movement of people working together to beat poverty for good. Supported across the island of Ireland for more than 60 years, we save lives and rebuild communities when disaster strikes. When it comes to working with communities to lift themselves out of poverty and thrive, we combine innovation and practicality to ensure they succeed. And we amplify the voices of people whose lives are most impacted by conflict, climate change, poverty and inequality to influence the local and global decisions that affect them.

Our multifaceted approach to tackling the root causes of poverty and injustice is reflected in the make-up of our talented Board of Trustees. This diverse, skilled group of individuals is responsible for overseeing the direction of the organisation and includes senior leaders from the private, public and voluntary sectors across the island of Ireland. They bring a wide range of experience, knowledge and expertise to Oxfam, further enhancing the work we do.

We are currently looking for new members to join our board and support our work as we launch our new, exciting ten year strategic framework. Service is voluntary and involves attending at least five board meetings a year as well as participating in strategic sub-committees. Each member serves a three-year term which can be renewed once.

In return, Oxfam Ireland offers our board members the life-changing opportunity to be part of our development, humanitarian and influencing work, and make a lasting difference to the lives of the world’s most vulnerable people.
