Ready to make a meaningful difference through purposeful leadership?
At Sight Concern Bedfordshire, we’re here to make sure people living with sight loss can lead full, independent, and active lives. Rooted in our local communities across Bedfordshire and Luton, we’ve been quietly making a big impact for over 25 years.
We’re now actively looking for a new Chair of Trustees to help shape our next chapter.
This is a special opportunity to bring thoughtful, grounded leadership to a charity with a clear mission and deep community ties. You’ll be stepping in at a pivotal point as we modernise, grow our partnerships, and explore how assistive technologies and accessible services can unlock new possibilities for those we support.
As Chair, you’ll work closely with our CEO as a trusted partner, someone who can offer encouragement, challenge when needed, and help build a culture of inclusion, community, and accountability. You'll ensure our governance remains robust and fit for the future, and that our Board continues to deliver collaboratively, constructively, and always aligned with our values.
You’ll also represent the charity externally to help us grow our network and strengthen local relationships, as well as amplifying our voice when the opportunity arises. You’ll also help us foster an environment where people feel valued, lived experience is in our central scope, and blind and partially sighted individuals remain at the heart of every decision we make.
We’re not just looking for someone to keep the wheels turning, we’re looking for a leader who understands how crucial it is to lead with integrity, empathy, and purpose. Someone who understands that the best kind of change evolves through collaboration, not control.
You don’t need to have been a Chair before, but you should bring experience as a senior leader in a professional setting or have worked closely with a CEO or senior executive. An understanding of charity governance is key, and we’re also looking for someone with flourishing people skills and a genuine commitment to inclusion and accessibility.
If you’ve got previous Trustee experience too, that’s a bonus.
Does this sound like you?
If the answer is yes, and you're ready to help guide our charity through a meaningful and exciting phase of its journey, we’d love to hear from you.

Shape the future of character education
Are you a Headteacher, Deputy Headteacher, or senior school leader passionate about developing young people’s character? Do you want to use your expertise to shape an innovative education charity while also benefiting your own school? If so, we invite you to join Being The Cure as our Education Trustee and play a key role in refining and expanding our impact in schools.
About us
At Being The Cure, we believe education should go beyond academics—it should build Kindness, Honesty, and Humility, empowering young people to become tomorrow’s heroes. Our Saturday Schools and in-school programmes are grounded in research and gaining attention, including interest from UCL. Now, we need an experienced school leader to help us ensure our programmes truly meet schools' needs.
Why this role could be right for you
�� Flexible & realistic commitment – We understand school leaders are busy! Meetings are designed to fit around your schedule, with remote options available and minimal paperwork.
�� Directly benefit your own school – Gain expert insights into character education to enhance your curriculum and explore opportunities for your school to pilot our programmes or receive support.
�� Have strategic influence – This is more than a governance role. You will directly shape our education programmes, ensuring they are relevant, impactful, and aligned with the realities of school life.
�� Join a diverse & supportive board – Work alongside charity sector leaders, school business managers, and corporate consultants, all driven by a shared commitment to education and social impact.
Your role as our Education Trustee
As a trustee, you will act as a critical friend to our CEO and education team, helping us refine our curriculum and engagement with schools. Specifically, you will:
✅ Challenge and support our CEO to ensure our curriculum is evidence-informed and aligned with school needs.
✅ Help shape our engagement strategy, making it easier for schools to access and benefit from our programmes.
✅ Advise on best practices in education and share insights from your leadership experience.
✅ Support the scaling of our impact, ensuring our growth is sustainable and beneficial for schools.
Time commitment & flexibility
We respect the demanding schedules of school leaders, so we structure our commitments with maximum flexibility:
�� Induction – Approx. 6 hours to familiarise yourself with our programme and approach.
�� Ongoing - 6 hours on a quarterly basis including:
Quarterly Education & Safeguarding Committee – 1-hour remote meeting, with up to 1 hour of prep.
Quarterly Full Board Meeting – 2-hour in-person meeting (ideally, but remote options available), with up to 2 hours of prep. We encourage in-person attendance as we socialise as a board afterward, but we fully understand when this isn’t possible.
�� Additional support – As available, based on your interest and capacity.
What we’re looking for:
✔ Experience in school leadership, with a strong understanding of how schools operate.
✔ Teaching experience, ideally recent, to ensure familiarity with classroom realities.
✔ Commitment to our mission of empowering young people through character education.
➕ We'd love it if you also had knowledge of or experience with schools in Newham and it's neighbouring boroughs, Bedford, or Luton.
Next steps
We know committing to a trustee role is a big decision and we’re happy to have an informal chat about the role, answer any questions. After we've had a chat we'll also be happy to invite you to visit one of our schools to see our impact firsthand.
