Our fieldwork and research feeds into driving our award-winning public impact programmes – inspiring current and future generations about the past and the places they live. We genuinely believe archaeology has the power to change people’s lives for the better and as such seek to embed partnership and participation throughout our work.

We also welcome trustees from a variety of backgrounds, and we are keen to boost the following skills on our board:
· Legal and HR
· Research and grants
· H&S and environment
·Media and communication
An understanding of or a background in the archaeology sector is not necessarily required – however, a passion for the past is a must!

We anticipate that Trustees will need to participate in a minimum of 4 meetings per year, but there will be the opportunity to play a broader role, including attending board sub-committees, staff committees and working groups.
Why become a Trustee at MOLA?
As a Trustee you can make a difference – you will play a crucial role in guiding MOLA’s strategic direction and help make important decisions that will have an impact on both our organisation and the wider archaeological sector.
