About St. Brendan’s SFC
St. Brendan’s Sixth Form College is the only college of its type in Bristol. We are proud of our positive reputation, for inclusion, high standards, and social mobility. We provide an environment where students from a variety of backgrounds and communities can come together, to learn and develop themselves.
We are a hugely ambitious sixth form college and have high aspirations for our students. Our Board of Governors is looking to appoint a Lay Governor who can share in our ambition and apply their specialist knowledge to the development of our board and its role in overseeing our new strategic plan.
As a designated institution, operating under a Trust Deed established by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Clifton, we are looking for someone of Catholic faith with skills, knowledge, and experience gained from businesses and social organisations in and around the Bristol region.
Guided by our mission and values, we are a welcoming and transformative sixth form college where every member of our community flourishes and achieves their full potential.
About the role
The Board of Governors is the non-executive body of St. Brendan’s Sixth Form College. Together, they take responsibility for the strategic development, financial position, and academic character of the organisation. The Board work closely with the Principal and her senior leadership team and provide constructive support and challenge through discussions and the appraisal of reports, all with our mission and core purpose in mind.
Governors contribute by attending meetings of the board and its committees:
· Audit Committee
· Ethos, Safeguarding & Welfare Committee
· Resources, Premises & HR Committee
· Strategy, Search & Remuneration Committee
· Teaching, Curriculum & Quality Committee
At meetings, the Principal & CEO, with her senior team, shares reports and updates on strategic developments. Governors are asked to make important decisions relating to the character, culture, and organisational development of the college. To support them to do this well, there are numerous opportunities throughout the year where governors are welcomed into the college to meet with staff and students, and experience what life is like as an employee or student of St. Brendan’s.
Who we are looking for
Following recent changes to the Board of Governors, through terms of office ending and a recent recruitment round, we have identified the need to appoint a new Foundation Governor. The new Governor will contribute their expertise in leadership or management, alongside sharing in our Catholic faith. Furthermore, having financial expertise would be advantageous.
The new Foundation Governor’s appointment will be approved by the Diocese of Clifton for an initial four-year period, and so the person appointed should have the capacity to devote the necessary time and energy to the role, through preparing for and attending meetings, and making visits to the college for celebration events, and to meet with staff and students.
Peridot Partners and St. Brendan’s Sixth Form College are, together, committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and our client expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. The successful candidate will be subject to an enhanced DBS check and satisfactory references before any final offer can be made.
Please click 'Apply via website’ to be redirected to the Peridot Partners website, where you can find full details of the candidate profile and register your interest to apply.
Applications for this role close at 9 a.m. Monday 19th August 2024.

Enhance Barawak’s impact by forging local, national and international strategic partnerships; and nurturing links with organisations that share our values and can help fuel our community’s growth. As one of our Strategic Partnership Leads, you’ll connect with diverse organisations to co-create services and activities that uplift the Afro-Hebrew community.
Welcome to Barawak
Barawak is the first UK-registered charitable organisation dedicated to uplifting and empowering the Afro-Hebrew community in the UK. We understand the unique challenges faced by our community, and we are here to provide support, resources, and opportunities to help overcome these hurdles.
Our vision is to see our community thrive, free from the burdens of poverty and inequality. We're here to bring this vision to life by providing essential support and resources that uplift and empower every individual and family.
Our Purpose
At Barawak, our mission is clear: to address and alleviate the immediate and long-term challenges faced by our community. We're dedicated to ensuring that everyone has access to the essentials – from food and toiletries to vital services. But our goals go beyond just meeting basic needs. We are also here to open doors to new opportunities through education and skill-building, helping our community members to stand tall and secure a better future for themselves and their families.
Our Commitment
At Barawak, we’re driven by four key goals to uplift our Afro-Hebrew community:
- Alleviating Poverty: We’re here to give more than just immediate help. Our support includes essential items and help with basic needs, aimed at long-term financial stability for our community.
- Empowering Through Education: Education and skills are keys to opening doors. We offer practical workshops and mentoring in financial smarts, job skills, and more, to spark economic opportunities.
- Fostering Harmony and Diversity: We celebrate our rich Afro-Hebrew culture and encourage understanding across communities. Our work strengthens community bonds and enriches cultural events.
- Promoting Health with Sports: Good health is vital. We offer sports and wellness activities that boost both body and mind, helping everyone feel part of something bigger.
In all we do, helping out, sticking together, and staying strong guide us. By the grace of our God, we're not just making today better — we're shaping a brighter, more hopeful community and future for us all.
Our Team
Currently, our team consists of dedicated trustees and advisors who are laying the groundwork for a robust volunteer organisation. We are in the process of expanding our team to include passionate, committed individuals who share our vision and are eager to make a real difference in the community.
Joining Our Cause
As a volunteer at Barawak, you'll be part of a meaningful journey to support and enrich the lives of those in our community. We value every contribution, and we provide a supportive environment where your skills and dedication can truly flourish. Whether you're leading a service or a vertical, assisting with operations or reporting, your role at Barawak is crucial to our collective success and your help will go a long way to helping us reach our strategic goals.
Understanding the Verticals at Barawak
Imagine Barawak as a living, thriving tree. Our verticals are like the main branches—each one strong and important, reaching out in its own direction but all connected to the same trunk, our community's mission. These four powerhouse teams each have a special job:
• The Fundraising and Financial Management vertical covers fundraising and money matters: This team is all about finding resources—like getting donations and grants—to keep our programmes strong and healthy.They will spend their time writing fantastic letters, sponsorship proposals and funding requests on behalf of Barawak as a whole, but also (supporting programme leads) to specific organisations for Barawak service lines.
• The Strategic Partnership Development and Collaboration vertical covers building bridges: They're the connectors, making friends with other groups, businesses, and everyone who can help us grow.
• The Volunteer Engagement vertical covers welcoming our helpers: This bunch is in charge of gathering our most valuable resource—people like you who want to volunteer and make a difference.
• The Marketing Outreach and Advocacy vertical covers spreading the word: They tell our story far and wide, making sure everyone knows what we're up to and how they can join in.
Each vertical team works in two distinct ways: the first way is for Barawak as a whole, and the second way is in support of each Barawak service, feeding our programmes, like roots bringing water and nutrients to the branches. Whether it's Poverty Relief, Education, Employment Support, Community Engagement or Sports and Wellness, these verticals give the support each programme needs to blossom and bear fruit. Working together, they make sure we're all pushing in the same direction—towards a future where our community stands tall and proud.

Livelihoods: Unemployment and Underemployment: Challenge: Most youths and women face high levels of unemployment or low wage employment with no stability. Lack of Entrepreneurial Opportunities: Challenge: Women and youth lack resources and facilitation to start and sustain enterprises of their own. Economic Dependency: Challenge: Economic dependency on male family members constrains women's autonomy and puts them at a low decision-making power.

- Contraception, family planning, and müş promoting safe and legal abortion services.
- Support service provision to survivors of GBV, including counseling and legal aid, with community education on prevention of violence against women for gender equality.

We are looking for a dynamic leader to help steer Peace Direct in the years ahead. We are looking for someone who cares deeply about the importance of supporting local civil society, who has strong experience of charity governance, and is accustomed to working collaboratively with the CEO and the Senior Leadership Team, and across cultural contexts to build a strong organisation. This is no ordinary Board Chair role. Peace Direct has been at the forefront of thinking about how the international NGO sector needs to transform itself, including how to tackle structural racism. We are looking for a Board Chairperson who will embrace the challenge of leading a Board that will model the changes we hope to see in the wider sector. As part of our commitment to shifting power, we are open to the idea of a co-Chair arrangement, with one Chair based in the Global South/Majority World.
The Chair will lead the Board in its role of ensuring clear strategic direction for PD, compliance with requirements for effective financial and people management, and sound corporate governance in line with PD’s own values and relevant regulatory frameworks. The Chair will also support and, where appropriate, challenge the Chief Executive and foster collaborative and constructive engagement within the Board and between the Board and Peace Direct’s management and staff. They should be willing to act as an ambassador and the public face of the charity as part of PD’s external communications efforts. The Chair will also line manage the Chief Executive in line with PD’s HR procedures.
