About New Dawn New Day

For over 30 years, New Dawn New Day has supported the wellbeing of women and girls across Leicester and Leicestershire, beginning as a community-based women’s centre in the 1980s.

Today, we specialise in supporting women involved in the Criminal Justice System, providing practical and emotional support tailored to their complex needs. Many of the women we work with have experienced significant trauma, often presenting with diagnosed or undiagnosed mental health conditions. Yet, too many are unable to access the mainstream services they need.

We offer a safe, empowering space where women can heal, rebuild their lives, and regain control of their futures.

About the Role

As Chair, you’ll lead the Board of Trustees to uphold effective governance and guide the charity’s strategic direction. You’ll support and challenge the Board to think ambitiously while fostering a collaborative, inclusive culture.

Working closely with the CEO, you’ll help shape long-term strategy, identify opportunities and risks, and strengthen the relationship between the Board and staff. You’ll also represent the charity externally – advocating and engaging with stakeholders, building strategic partnerships, and acting as a spokesperson when needed.

This is a pivotal opportunity to shape a newly forming Board of Trustees and guide its growth in alignment with our mission to inspire women and their families to change their lives and their communities for the better.

Who We’re Looking For

We’re seeking a committed and experienced female leader who shares our passion for women’s social justice. You’ll be able to unite and lead the Board with confidence, providing support, insight, and challenge to help us achieve our goals.

You’ll bring strong governance knowledge, excellent communication skills, and a collaborative leadership style. Experience in trauma-informed work is welcome, but more important is empathy, a willingness to learn, and a values-driven approach.

An understanding of small charities, fundraising, charity finance, or employment law would be advantageous, along with a strong network to help raise our profile.

Please click 'Redirect to recruiter’ 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 14th July.
