RITCHIE COURT, OXFORD - CHAIR OF THE BOARD
This is a voluntary unpaid position
Ritchie Court provides independent flats for older people in Oxford. It was founded in the 1970s and owns a large purpose-built property on the Banbury Road. The property has just over 40 units and Ritchie Court is always close to full.
The board employs a manager to be responsible for most aspects of Ritchie Court’s operations, leading a staff of 14 people which includes on-site day and overnight wardens, restaurant staff and housekeepers. Another senior employee is the secretary to the board of directors who is also the finance administrator.
We wish to co-opt a voluntary unpaid Chair to lead the work of the management board. This person will chair the meetings of the board and attend meetings of the finance & building committee. These meetings are all bi-monthly and held in Monday-Friday daytime. The Chair will also supervise two senior staff. A time commitment of three hours per week is envisaged.
Mature thinking, leadership and the ability to relate sensitively to older people are essential. We expect that the successful candidate will have had senior and board level experience of leading an organisation involving staff management, administration, and property management.
We believe that this opportunity could well suit a senior or recently retired person with appropriate experience, who wishes to use their skills to serve a non-profit organisation in the Oxford community.

Welcome and Congratulations. By getting as far as reading this you have already displayed great judgement- we like you already!
We are really excited about these 3 new Trustee roles. Access Social Care is only 2 years old but we have already built a strong and positive culture on our board. Our skilled Chairperson has been careful to create an environment where everyone’s views are valued. Trust is high. The CEO and the Executive team welcome the Board’s positive challenge.
As an organisation we are proud that we have taken great strides in ensuring that our organisational impact reaches underserved communities with experience of disadvantage. But over the last 6 months, we have taken a good look at ourselves, and we know that we need to do better to ensure that our Board reflects the communities that we serve.
We have made progress in the last year, exploring how we can be more inclusive within our organisation. We have worked on shared language and started to build an environment for people to hold tricky conversations about the things that matter. We have created new network groups, and agreed programmes of work to promote Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion. We have increased training and awareness. We have successfully recruited more people of colour to our staff team, and we are soon to introduce two-way mentoring so that the Board and staff at all levels can learn from each other. As an organisation we are striving to be anti-racist.
At Access Social care, we aren’t interested in tokenism. We know that if we are to make the biggest difference for the people that need us the most, we need to get Equality, Diversity and Inclusion and anti-racism right. Part of this is recruiting greater diversity to our board.
Together we have agreed that the skills we are missing on our board relate to:
- Experience of the social care system and experience of the diverse communities we serve
- Data and technology
- Policy and Strategic Communications
- Human Resources and People Culture
As a trustee you will be part of an organisation that is working to improve the lives of older and disabled people with social care needs. You will get to work with a passionate team, you will benefit from the support of your colleagues on the Board, and you will have the opportunity to develop your skills in areas you are interested in, including Governance, Finance and Strategy.
If this sounds like you, go on… go for it – apply to be a trustee with us!

Trustee role description & job specification
Accountable to: Chairperson
Location: UK - board meetings are currently being held remotely.
Type: PT
Hours: Circa 2 away days and ten 2-hour meetings per year plus preparation time
Salary: Voluntary role, expenses paid.
Why Access Social Care Exists
Everyday millions of older and disabled people are denied the social care they need. Most local authorities can’t meet the growing demand for care, none are confident they can meet their legal duties in the future. This affects all of us, we will all need social care at some point.
We all have a right to hold public bodies to account. But most of us cannot afford lawyers so rely on legal aid. The 92% drop in legal aid cases since 2010 means we have nowhere to turn. Without access to justice, our rights do not exist. The rule of law is broken.
What we do
Access Social Care provides free legal advice and information for people with social care needs, helping achieve a better quality of life. We work with communities to increase knowledge of the law and our rights. We highlight the gap left by cuts to Legal Aid and provide advice for those who can’t afford it.
With a 98% success rate, our network of lawyers and barristers ensure fair access to justice when things go wrong. We collaborate with social services whilst ensuring legal obligations are met. We are working towards a future where social care is adequately funded, and we all get the support we need.
