The School of Natural Building Limited
The School of Natural Building (SNaB) is a pioneering organisation dedicated to teaching communities, self-builders, and professionals, the skills to construct high-quality, sustainable buildings using straw, timber, and other natural materials. Our mission is to transform the construction industry by making natural building accessible and mainstream, addressing both climate change and the cost-of-living crisis through affordable, energy-efficient buildings. We empower women and others traditionally excluded from the construction sector, enabling them to make lasting, tangible impacts on their homes, their community spaces and within the communities themselves.
Our current digital needs are around developing a marketing strategy to tell the stories behind natural building and materials. We want to implement a CRM that fits our needs and overhaul our website. We have great resources, but at the moment they aren't easy to access. Furthermore, we are trying to access funding for this digital overhaul and to develop our online learning offering.
Board members play a vital role in shaping our strategy and ensuring alignment with our values: building for people, not profit; sustainability; empowering those excluded from construction; and fostering joy and passion.
The voluntary role requires ~8 hours/month, with general expenses covered.
We welcome candidates from diverse backgrounds, particularly those traditionally excluded from construction, including women and underrepresented groups. While strategic leadership is valued, we seek proactive individuals ready to contribute across SNaB’s work.
If you share our passion for sustainability and empowerment, we’d love to hear from you!
