Harbour is an amazing and inspiring Plymouth based charity, providing drug and alcohol services to people with complex lives.

For nearly 40 years, we have helped people to realise that they are not alone and that they have the power to make positive changes in their lives. We are independent and impartial, offering support to anyone who needs help to address their alcohol and drug use.

We are recruiting for new Volunteer Trustees to join the board to help steer the strategy and direction of the service.

The Trustees hold overall responsibility for Harbour’s strategy and policy, the day-to-day management and delivery of the service is led by our Chief Executive, Julie Howes. 

Our Trustees ensure that Harbour develops and grows in the right direction and always puts the people we help at the heart of our decision making.

The Trustees are also legally responsible for the appropriate management of money, income, and property, ensuring they are in line with our business plan and in the best interests of the people who use our service and our staff.

We work as a team to review and influence aspects of client care, financial status, leadership, and governance.

We welcome candidates with skills and experience in all backgrounds, ideally, we would like candidates with medical/clinical and financial experience.

Each year, you will be asked to attend up to six board meetings, one away day, one operational visit, alongside occasional event, and sub-group attendance.
