What are we looking for?

A talented, reliable and committed individual with varied commercial and charity experience, to provide additional guidance and contribute to the strategic direction of the charity, as Chair of Trustees and line manager to the centre’s General Manager.

Previous experience in a similar environment and/or third sector role will be helpful, particularly with Board or Executive Committee experience. Other specific business skills will be useful in supporting and coaching the existing team, for example:

Financial Management; Business Development/Sales; Strategy, Organisation and Planning; Operational Management; Leadership/Coaching; Law/Contracts; Governance; Facilities Management; Fundraising; Marketing; Digital/Social; Safeguarding; Health & Safety.

Most importantly, we are looking for DRIVE and PASSION that aligns with our purpose and charitable aims, and for commitment to support our strategic direction and commercial success.  We need an open, collaborative team player with talents that will complement our existing Trustee skillset, and the ability to understand and oversee the full operation.

The time commitment requires virtual or on-site attendance at quarterly Board meetings and other ad hoc committee meetings, including participating in occasional community events. Regular line management meetings and site visits will also be necessary to monitor progress, provide advice and gain the required insight to be the critical friend to the charity.

Organisation of meetings, and support to the executive team is anticipated to take around 5 hours per week, although this could vary significantly, as specific projects may involve additional work and time.  

What will you be doing?

As an individual with experience and knowledge of how successful organisations operate, you will coordinate meetings and make decisions with the Board of Trustees and the General Manager to help design, implement and support strategies that will enhance the long-term sustainability of the charity. You will work closely with other Trustees, and get to know about clients, staff, partners and beneficiaries. You will make a difference by bringing your commercial acumen, and specialist knowledge to drive efficiency within the charity’s operations and ensure that opportunities to demonstrate best practice are identified in all that we do. You will be curious and willing to challenge the status quo, but also support, coach and mentor.

As Chair of the Board you will ensure that meetings are relevant, timely, well planned, structured and concise. In doing all of this, you will play a key role in helping to secure the future of the charity by achieving its objectives in the immediate and long term.

Preference may be given to individuals who are connected to our community, with local knowledge and networks. We will also welcome diversity on the Board, in our quest to represent our community fully, particularly youth, disability and ethnic minorities.

Is this role for you?

If you are interested in this opportunity, please forward your CV with a covering letter explaining the talents and experience you can bring, and how you will use these to make a difference for the charity. Applicants may be invited to attend a short online meeting with the existing Board of Trustees in order to assess fit and values alignments, but if you would like to discuss the role in advance of applying, please get in touch as soon as possible. We also encourage applicants to look at our website and Facebook page, for details of what is happening on a daily basis.

As our facilities are fully accessible, attending meetings and events is made easy for everyone, but please let us know if you have any additional requirements.

Thank you for taking an interest in our charity and we look forward to hearing from you.

These include participants in both Trust-led and hirer-led activities, private bookings, and customers of our café.
