We’re looking for our next Chair of the Finance Committee (FinCom) and Trustee.

London-based ¦ Voluntary ¦ ~1–2 days/month plus 10 scheduled meetings each year

At the London Early Years Foundation (LEYF), we’re proud to be the UK’s largest charitable childcare social enterprise. With 43 nurseries, 1,000+ staff and a £37m turnover, we’re on a mission to change the world one child at a time - especially in London’s most disadvantaged communities.

We’re looking for a senior finance leader to join our Board of Trustees as Chair of FinCom, with Treasurer responsibilities. This is a brilliant opportunity for someone who’s already served as a Trustee or Non-Executive Director and is ready to step into a leadership role with real influence.

• A confident chair and facilitator, who creates a positive, inclusive space for discussion and decision-making
• Someone with gravitas who’s interested in wider business and wants to advise (not run) ours. You understand the numbers, and bring commerciality and pragmatism
• A calm, grounded presence with high emotional intelligence, curiosity, and a genuine passion for our mission

Why join us?

• Use your skills to make a real difference to children and families across London
• Join a collaborative, professional, and down-to-earth Board and exec team
• Be part of a warm, values-led organisation that welcomes your ideas and energy

Interested?

Further details about the role can be found in our online info pack. We’re reviewing applications and progressing people in August – so don’t wait too long to express your interest. We’re hoping you will join us for key business meetings in September as part of the transition from our current FinCom Chair. 

Trustees - Derbyshire Cricket Foundation

The Derbyshire Cricket Foundation are seeking to recruit several new voluntary Trustees to join our Board and support the work we do across Derbyshire to empower communities and improve lives through cricket.

We are seeking Trustees with diverse skills and experience, who care about improving lives through cricket or sport, and share our belief that cricket should be “a game for everyone”. A deep knowledge of cricket is not essential.  We are seeking Trustees who can make a general contribution to the strategic oversight and governance of our business, and we’re also keen to add Trustees to our Board who have any of the following skills and experience.

· Finance – to be our Finance Director and Chair our Audit Committee

· Charitable Fund Raising

· Business Development

· Safeguarding

More information about the Derbyshire Cricket Foundation, the role of a Trustee, the time commitment involved, and the application process can be found in our Recruitment Pack.

Who We Are

The Derbyshire Cricket Foundation (DCF) is a registered charity that improves lives and empowers communities across Derbyshire through cricket. We also serve as the governing body for recreational cricket in Derbyshire – one of 39 county organisations working with the England & Wales Cricket Board (ECB) to support a network of grassroots clubs and leagues to develop and sustain the game. Our ambition is that cricket will be the most inclusive team sport, and our strategy, “A Game for Everyone, outlines our plan to achieve this in Derbyshire.  More information about what we do is included in our Recruitment Pack and in our 2024 Impact report.

What we’re looking for

We’re seeking several new voluntary Trustees to complement a strong group of existing Trustees who make up our Board. We are keen to attract candidates with diverse skills and experience and who can provide different perspectives and constructive challenge, support delivery of our strategy, and help us be the high-performing Board that cricket and communities across Derbyshire deserve. 

We are seeking Trustees who can make a general contribution to the strategic oversight and governance of our business, and we’re also particularly keen to add Trustees with any of the following skills and experience.

· Finance – to be our Finance Director and Chair our Audit Committee

· Charitable Fund Raising

· Business Development

· Safeguarding

What’s involved?

As a Trustee of the Derbyshire Cricket Foundation you share ultimate responsibility for governing a charity and directing how it is managed and run, but the roles are largely “eyes-on, hands-off”, as our members of staff manage the day-to-day operational business of the DCF.

We have six Board meetings a year, typically of 2.5 hours duration. Board meetings are held on midweek evenings, start at 5.30pm, and are usually hosted at the Derbyshire CCC Central Co-Op County Ground in Derby. All our Board meetings have a hybrid format, so that Trustees can attend remotely via Teams if they need that flexibility.

Trustees are also expected to be a member of one of our Board committees, which will be aligned with their areas of interest or experience. This will typically involve attending a further 1-2 meetings per year. There may be further opportunities for Trustees to support our work or events, but we appreciate that the role is a voluntary commitment and respect that our Trustees will need to balance their time with other commitments.

The role is voluntary and unpaid. Trustees are initially appointed for a 3 year term, with an option to serve a further two terms, up to a maximum of 9 years. A comprehensive induction will be provided for new Trustees, to ensure they have good understanding of the role and the DCF business.

How can I find out more?

Our recruitment pack includes more information about the DCF and the ro

Anybody wanting to discuss the opportunity further before applying can contact our Managing Director, Richard Wood.

How do I apply?

Applications can be submitted through our on-line application form and candidates should also send their CV in support of their application.

The closing date for application is 17 October, 2025.

Shortlisted candidates will be invited to interview during the first half of November.

Commitment to Equality

At the Derbyshire Cricket Foundation (DCF) we are committed to ensuring that cricket is accessible, safe, and welcoming to all, and to the principles of equality of opportunity. We aim to ensure that no individual is discriminated against on the grounds of any of the protected characteristics outlined in the Equality Act, 2010; age, gender, gender reassignment, marital or civil partner status, disability, race, colour, ethnic or national origin, religion/belief or sexual orientation. In line with these commitments we will seek to recruit a diverse workforce of high quality, high performing individuals who have the specific competencies (qualifications/knowledge, skills, experience and behaviours) required for defined roles which will support achievement of our mission, strategy, and business plan. All applicants will have equality of opportunity during our selection processes, and decisions will solely be based on an individual’s ability to meet the requirements of the role. All applying candidates will be required to complete the DCF Equal Opportunities Monitoring Form.

Commitment to Safeguarding

Derbyshire Cricket Foundation (DCF) is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of everyone involved in cricket and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

We ensure that we have a range of policies and procedures in place which promote safeguarding and safer working practice across our services and are committed to ensuring safeguarding practice reflects statutory responsibilities, government guidance and complies with best practice and the ECB requirements to ensure that all children participating in Cricket have a safe, positive and fun experience, whatever their level of involvement.
