Charity treasurer volunteer roles

We are seeking an experienced Charity Chair to lead our dynamic, fast growing charity supporting children with SEND in the early years to get the very best start in life. This is an incredible opportunity to drive national change and improvements alongside our CEO, influencing at the highest levels and continuing to expand our work and impact.

We are extremely proud of the growth and impact of Dingley’s Promise over the last three years of Russ Fowler’s tenure as Chair. We’re supported by a dynamic and multi skilled Trustee Board, and have repositioned the charity from a small local provider of specialist early years nurseries, to a national charity that is now the largest provider in the country. We have delivered our specialist inclusion training to over 20,000 early years educators in mainstream settings across England, and are heavily involved in influencing the imminent reforms across the education sector in relation to early years and SEND.

This is a pivotal point for the charity, and we are seeking an experienced, strategic and business minded individual who is ambitious about the impact that Dingley’s Promise can have. We are regularly being offered new opportunities to grow our influence and impact, and are very aware that we have to manage this growth in a responsible and realistic way. We are looking for a new Chair who knows what it takes to drive a national organisation forward, and who is excited about the potential for the organisation to continue to grow and ensure more children and families than ever before have the support they need in the early years.

I look forward to meeting someone who will work in partnership with me as CEO and lead our Board of Trustees to shape the charity’s future growth. I value those who challenge me to think outside of the box, who drive continual reflection and improvement, and who hold me to account as the CEO of an influential national charity representing the voice of children and families. You will play an important part in taking the charity to the next level, helping to increase our impact and influence through your knowledge and connections, and ensuring that we stay on track and accountable to our aims at all times. It’s an incredible opportunity for the right person, who will get an incredible amount of fulfilment from working alongside me to help this dynamic charity to reach its potential. If this sounds like something you could be passionate about, please do get in touch.
