We offer interesting opportunties to get involved using your skills, experience and local knowledge.  We try to look after you well and enable you to get the most out of being a volunteer with us.

Trustees

The Board are seeking a further 2-3 people with relevant social care experience, human resources or financial backgrounds to strengthen our trustee board.  We are particularly looking for trustees from Cornwall at this time.

The trustee board meets on average 4 times a year and there are additional days for sub committees and annual way days.  Travel expenses will be paid. We believe that SWAPS offers exciting possibilities for improving the lives of vulnerable adults.If you share our commitment and think that you could help us please complete our Trustee Application Form.

Panel Member

We are seeking panel members with a range of experience, backgrounds and skills to help us with our approval process. It would be helpful if you had an interest or background in social or health care although this is not essential. In fulfilling this role we would ask you to act fairly and objectively, be committed to equal opportunities and understand the importance of confidentiality. Training and support will be provided and travel expenses will be paid. 

We are urgently seeking panel members in Cornwall.  A panel sits about once a month, with five members selected from the pool.  Panel meetings are usually half a day, with several hours preparation and reading in advance.

If you are interested in becoming a panel member please complete our Approval Panel Application Form
