Job description

The Wesley Hotel is a progressive hospitality brand based in the London Borough of Camden. Known for our commitment to sustainability and community, we leverage both ethical practices and innovative technology to enhance guest experiences. As a social enterprise, our profits support charitable activities, reinforcing our mission to provide meaningful hospitality services. The Methodist Church of Britain is the owner of The Wesley Hotel in Euston and Camden.

The Vacancy

We are seeking two exceptional individuals to join our Board as a Non-Executive Directors (NED) and help guide the organisation’s strategic direction. The successful candidate must meet the statutory duties outlined in the Companies Act 2006, including acting within the company’s powers, promoting its success, exercising independent judgement, and upholding the highest standards of care, skill, and integrity.

Board Directors must avoid conflicts of interest, declare relevant interests, and maintain strict confidentiality at all times.

If you are committed to strong governance and ethical leadership, we welcome your application. Additional information on directors’ duties is available from Companies House.

Key Responsibilities

Non-Executive Directors are expected to contribute across the following areas:

  • Strategy: Support and constructively challenge long-term strategic direction
  • Performance: Monitor and scrutinise Executive performance against objectives

  • Accountability: Promote clear responsibilities and strong internal controls;
  • Governance: Uphold high standards of corporate governance and Board effectiveness

Please note that while The Wesley manages the formal recruitment process, the final appointment decision rests with the Methodist Church in Britain.

Any appointment will be subject to approval by the Trustees of the Methodist Church, who act as the Company’s shareholder.

About You

We are seeking two candidates with senior-level experience and strong governance capability.

Experience within the hospitality sector is highly desirable. Above all, candidates must demonstrate the ability to operate effectively as Non-Executive Directors, providing independent judgement, strategic insight, and constructive challenge.

Successful candidates will be able to provide independent oversight, constructive challenge, and strategic guidance to the Board, ensuring the long-term success, sustainability, and effective governance of the company. The Non-Executive Director will contribute to Board decision-making, uphold high standards of corporate governance, and support the Executive Team in delivering agreed objectives.

Remuneration

Non-Executive Directors receive a monthly fee based on an estimated commitment of 24 days per annum, remunerated at a rate of £375 per day. Reasonable, pre-approved expenses incurred in the course of fulfilling the role will also be reimbursed.
