Join the Board of an organisation working in partnership with people with learning disabilities to support them to achieve the life they want.
Applications close Monday 15th September.
Location: Hapstead Village, Buckfastleigh TQ11 0JN
About us
In the rolling countryside on the outskirts of Dartmoor National Park, something special is happening at Camphill Devon Community. At our Hapstead Village, six carefully designed houses provide more than just registered residential accommodation – they create a vibrant, supportive home where adults with learning disabilities and autism don’t simply live, but truly thrive.
Our reach extends beyond Hapstead into the wider communities of Teignbridge and South Hams, where we provide supported living services that honour each person’s individual journey toward independence and fulfilment. This isn’t about fitting people into predetermined boxes; it’s about crafting person-centred approaches that recognise the unique gifts, dreams, and aspirations that each resident brings to our community.
What makes Camphill Devon truly distinctive is our unwavering belief that everyone has something valuable to contribute. We’ve fostered an environment where people don’t just receive support – they give it too, creating mutual care and respect that defines Camphill Communities across the globe. It’s a place where active, fulfilling lives aren’t just possible; they’re the natural outcome of thoughtful, compassionate community living.
About the roles
As we look toward the future, we’re seeking two new Trustees to join our Board and help steer our strategic direction. We’re looking for engaged individuals who can both challenge our thinking and provide support. You’ll be someone who appreciates the delicate balance between holding us accountable to our mission while championing the innovative work we do every day.
Who we are looking for
The expertise we’re seeking speaks to the heart of what makes our community work. We are looking for someone whose professional journey has taken them across adult social care and health. You’ll bring that invaluable perspective that comes from navigating CQC regulations and championing person-centred service delivery in real-world settings. Your experience will help us maintain the highest standards while staying true to our community ethos. Whether you’ve worked within charities, regulated care environments, or supported living services, your insight into the sector and best practices will prove invaluable as we continue to evolve and grow.
Our second trustee search focuses on the people who make everything possible – our dedicated team. We’re looking for an HR professional who can help us navigate the complexities of sustaining a workplace that is deeply values-driven. Your expertise in staff engagement, organisational culture and employment law will be key as we support our workforce in delivering life-changing care. You’ll understand how to balance regulatory requirements with the kind of supportive, inclusive environment where our staff and volunteers can flourish alongside the people they support.
What unites both roles is a shared commitment to the Camphill ethos and a willingness to engage meaningfully in governance. We need strategic thinkers who can offer critical insight while supporting our executive leadership. You’ll be someone who sees the bigger picture, understands the challenges facing adult social care, and believes passionately in the rights, independence, and wellbeing of adults with learning disabilities.
These roles offer the opportunity to contribute to something that extends far beyond policy and procedure. You’ll be helping to nurture a community where every person’s dignity is respected, where individual needs aren’t just acknowledged but celebrated, and where the concept of inclusive living becomes a lived reality rather than an aspiration.
Time commitment:
With quarterly board meetings, committee work, our annual strategy away day, regular engagement with our dedicated team, occasional community visits, and the thoughtful preparation these responsibilities need, you can expect to invest approximately the equivalent of up to a day a month.
We’re committed to diversity and inclusion, and we particularly welcome applications from those with lived experience of disability or professional experience in learning disability support. If you’re ready to help write the next chapter of Camphill Devon’s story and bring either deep health and social care expertise or HR excellence to our mission, we’d love to hear from you.

Role specification
The National Holocaust Museum is at a pivotal moment in its journey, rich in history, purpose, and potential. We are seeking a new Chair who can harness this momentum and lead the organisation into its next chapter of growth and influence.
This is a unique opportunity for a strategic and values-driven leader to elevate an already respected institution to the next phase. The ideal candidate will bring a deep commitment to the Museum’s mission and will serve as both an ambassador and catalyst, aligning Board and executive leadership, strengthening governance, and unlocking new opportunities for reach and long-term sustainability.
The Chair must be able to navigate the nuanced context of a Christian-founded Holocaust museum, appreciating both the complexity and the significance of this positioning. They will champion the Museum’s work with young people and wider audiences and support the leadership team to deliver on an ambitious vision with clarity, purpose, critical insight and unity.
Core responsibilities
As Patrick Dunne outlined in “Boards”, the role of a Board is to ensure the organisation has the right strategy, right governance and right resources. The main tasks required of the new Chair are:
-
Align and develop the Board into a highly effective collective voice that provides professional governance in line with the expectations of the Charities Commission, The National Lottery Heritage Fund (TNLHF) and Arts Council England for public money, and the Museum’s most loyal philanthropic funders. A careful review of Board effectiveness is needed to inform future Board diversity, development and ways of working, both as a Board and in collaboration with the Executive Team.
-
Support the development of the Funding Strategy, identifying and working with a range of existing and potential funding partners, while contributing the Chair’s own set of networks and influence to support the future strategy.
-
Work with the Board and Leadership Team to build towards the next iteration of the strategic plan for the NHM of the future – which must focus on funding as a priority and consider the strategic prioritisation necessary given external and funding constraints. The plan should define clear KPIs, accountability, financial management process and ways to strengthen culture, people and workflow. Any such plan should also consider relationships and positioning within the wider Holocaust education sector.
Boards require clarity around their own purpose, process and people to operate effectively. As such, the main attributes required of the new Chair are excellent judgement and superb communication and people skills. This includes highly sensitive and strategic “antennae” for how groups can work effectively together, within organisations and across sectors including education, museums, inter-faith and security.
In addition to the attributes above, the Chair will ideally possess the following:
- Chair experience or equivalent (e.g Deputy Chair or Chair of a Committee). Demonstrated ability to stimulate and manage productive conflict, avoid groupthink and build meaningful consensus among diverse voices. Must be experienced in Board agenda-setting that balances necessary strategic deliberation with fiduciary requirements.
- Expertise in governance including a minimum level of financial acumen and risk management experience, ideally from the public, private or charitable sectors, with an appreciation of the fiduciary requirements for the use of public or donor funding.
- Experience leading organisations through transition, at both Board and team levels, particularly in the context of shifting external trends, resulting in sharper mission clarity, ambition, execution requirements and accountability.
- An appreciation for the creative arts sector, and an ability to work with and nurture creative individuals and teams.
- Experience working with various funders and the ability to firmly enable constructive and mutually respectful relationships with them.
- Willingness to bring and develop their network to support the organisation with influence, funding, or other relevant support. Key networks that are important to the Museum: national government and statutory funders (Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport, Department for Education, The National Lottery Heritage Fund, Arts Council England) and the Jewish community across the UK, whose generous support is vital to the organisation’s growth.
- The time and energy to fully engage, learn about the organisation, conduct the necessary reviews and any associated changes and build new and existing partnerships and stakeholder relationships.

High Rates of Teenage Pregnancies & School Dropouts – Limited knowledge and resources on sexual and reproductive health contribute to early marriages, teenage pregnancies, and high dropout rates among girls and young women, restricting their future opportunities.
Lack of Environmental Awareness & Sustainable Practices – Communities often lack the knowledge and integration of environmental stewardship in education and daily life, leading to unsustainable practices, environmental degradation, and missed opportunities for eco-friendly innovations.
Usanii Village Africa provides creative and vocational training in fields such as Eco-Artistry, carpentry, fashion, and design. By integrating art with practical skills, young people—especially out-of-school youth and teenage mothers—gain the tools needed for self-reliance and economic empowerment.
To combat early marriages, teenage pregnancies, and school dropouts, Usanii Village Africa equips young people, particularly girls and young women, with essential knowledge and resources on menstrual health, reproductive rights, and gender equality. This ensures they make informed choices about their futures.
By embedding environmental conservation in education and community initiatives, Usanii Village Africa fosters a culture of sustainability. Through Eco-Artistry, waste repurposing, and climate action advocacy, the organization promotes eco-friendly practices and raises awareness about the importance of protecting natural resources.
