Internet Matters is a not for profit organisation dedicated to ensuring children can enjoy the internet and connected technology safely.

Our vision is to inspire leading organisations to create a future where all children and young people can safely benefit from the impact of connected technology. We strive to provide parents, carers, and professionals with evidence-based guidance to help children confidently embrace the internet.
Our campaigns and partnerships raise awareness to ensure children and young people are happy and healthy online. Furthermore, we represent the views and interests of families to policymakers, ensuring their voices are heard.
About the role
We seek an exceptional leader to join us as our new Independent Chair, guiding our mission and vision forward.
As Chair, you will lead our Board of Directors, which is made up of representatives from our Members and Joint CEOs.
Our Chair also leads our CEO Governing Committee, which meets twice a year and ensures our Members and Joint CEOs are accountable for the organisation’s goals.
Our Chair will provide inclusive leadership, fostering positive relationships with senior leaders across industries, parliamentarians, and policymakers.
In this role, the new Chair will guide Internet Matters to maximise its positive impact on society, supporting the development and delivery of our five-year strategy and annual plans.
We are looking for someone who will act as an ambassador for Internet Matters, enhancing our profile at external functions and media events, and actively engaging with senior industry leaders and government officials to support our strategic objectives.
Our Chair’s leadership will ensure the Board has the right balance of skills and experience. They will chair meetings impartially, bring objectivity to the decision-making process, and ensure that decisions are effectively implemented.
Building and maintaining strong, supportive relationships with the Joint CEOs is crucial. Our new Chair will maintain regular contact, providing necessary support while respecting the boundaries between roles.
We are looking for a Chair with experience of complexity and scale in a governance role who has strategic leadership experience with multiple stakeholders and who can showcase exceptional leadership and facilitation skills.
A proven track record of strategic leadership at a senior level is required, ideally within the children’s online safety sector or related fields. Having the ability to guide groups to consensus while, at times, being an ambassador, is key.
Time commitment
Our board of Directors meets quarterly, and our CEO Governing Committee meets twice yearly. We expect the overall time commitment to be the equivalent of approximately 15 days a year, which includes board meetings, preparation, attending IM-hosted events, one face-to-face event a year, and engagement with the board and our joint CEOs.
Why Join Us?
As we navigate the evolving regulatory landscape, the role of the Chair and their leadership will be crucial in supporting Internet Matter’s mission to protect children online.
This is an exciting opportunity to significantly impact children’s online safety at a key point in legislative change — and as this sector evolves.
This is an opportunity to work with a dedicated team and leading industry partners.

Job Title: Member of the Listed Buildings Advisory Committee
Seeking volunteers with a special interest in the Conservation of Historic Places of Worship for the Methodist Church’s Connexional Listed Buildings Advisory Committee.
Do you have expert knowledge of the ecclesiastical historic built environment? Non-conformist architecture and heritage? Expert knowledge of the conservation of our fixtures of architectural and historic significance? Or knowledge of Methodist liturgy and worship in a historic Place of Worship? Do you want to be part of an expert group and use your skills and gifts to help reimagine and re-purpose our historic places of worship for growth and sustainability?
About the role
The Listed Buildings Advisory Committee (LBAC) is a long – established Committee of the Methodist Church whose primary purpose is to fulfil the responsibilities set out by the relevant Standing Orders (980) and statutory responsibilities and provide expert knowledge on all matters relating to historic church buildings.
Members of the Committee reflect a wide spectrum of interest; some are professionally concerned with the conservation of listed buildings, others have a special interest in the history of Methodist chapels and churches, or archaeology, whilst others are Methodist ministers or church members.
Strong emphasis is placed on a church being the people of God and the Calling of the Methodist Church with the building being there to serve a living church within a changing community. Membership of the LBAC therefore reflects the balance between the need for rigorous conservation and the necessary adaptation of listed church buildings to meet changing needs.
Sympathy with these aims is desirable but membership of the Methodist Church is not essential.
About You
As a member of the LBAC you will contribute to the review, evaluation and recommendation process for proposals relating to works of alteration to listed buildings owned by the Methodist Church. The primary duty is to provide expert guidance and advice on conservation and development of historic church buildings and have a specialist knowledge in one or more than one of the following areas:
· knowledge of the history, development and use of Methodist chapels;
· knowledge of Methodist liturgy and worship;
· knowledge of archaeology;
· knowledge of the history and development of architecture and the visual arts; and
· experience of the care of historic buildings and their contents.
We advise you to review the candidate pack, the role description and person specification ahead of completing and submitting your online expression of interest form. The candidate pack includes some useful information about our processes.
Please note that where appropriate, successful nominees will be asked to undertake further checks, including references and a DBS check.
Indicative Recruitment Timetable:
Closing date: August 25th 2024: 23:59
Shortlisting Date: August 30th 2024
Interviews Date: September 13th 2024
Provisional appointment start date: 20th September 2024

The calling of the Methodist Church is to respond to the gospel of God's love in Christ and to live out its discipleship in worship and mission.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
