About Us
Sailing Tectona provides life changing sail training experiences for young people from all backgrounds as well as those recovering from mental health issues and substance misuse.
​
We do this using two traditional sailing vessels; Tectona (1928) and Olga (1909). Our voyages take people away from the everyday, and into a new world with positive challenges and a supportive environment.
​
Our voyages operate at sea beyond the horizon; an incredibly unique medium which organically grows individual’s self-efficacy - many participants find within themselves remarkable capabilities which they didn’t know they had. Our customer experience is something we are incredibly proud of.
​
We also have strong community links and work hard with wonderful volunteers to skilfully maintain our two vessels.
Sailing Tectona is a medium size charitable organisation based in Plymouth, comprising a registered Charity and a Community Interest Company (CIC).
About the Role
​
We have some exciting opportunities for people to join our friendly Board and get involved with us on the next part of our journey.
​
We are looking for people to help re-energise Sailing Tectona, and formulate a strong and healthy recovery from the struggles of 2020/21. Do you have something to offer? Might you have current, working knowledge in some of these areas?
​
The board will require expertise in:
-
Marketing / PR / Sales
-
Finance management / Fundraising
-
Business management
​
Volunteering as a trustee allows you to help in a very focused, professional and time-limited way. This is a chance to be involved in a project where your knowledge, commitment and enthusiasm will be truly valued and appreciated. You will be part of a passionate and dedicated team working towards maintaining our valued customer experience. You will have the opportunity to play a key role in an organisation which makes a real difference to people’s lives.
