THE OPPORTUNITY
Do you have an interest or experience in mental health care service design and delivery? Join us in supporting services in the Lambeth community as Chair of Mosaic Clubhouse!
This is a fantastic opportunity to use your senior leadership skills at a charity impacting the quality of life for so many in our community. You'll also work closely with our executive team while providing sound judgement for our Board.
Can you bring a great understanding of governance to our decision-making? If you are keen to act as an ambassador for a mental health charity, then we'd love to hear from you!
WHO IS MOSAIC CLUBHOUSE?
Mosaic Clubhouse is a unique, internationally renowned, mental health recovery community provider. We are right in the heart of Lambeth and wider south-east London, supporting the mental health system. We help over 400 Lambeth residents living with poor mental health each year through our work.
Mosaic people are not defined by their diagnosis but by their potential. They are our members, working side by side with staff to run every part of the Clubhouse. From reception to communications, café operations to fundraising, our model builds a sense of belonging.
WHAT MATTERS TO US
Our community reflects the heart of Brixton and Lambeth; diverse, creative, and resilient.
Mosaic runs on collaboration, not hierarchy. Our members both shape decisions and co-deliver our programmes and services. They also serve on our Board of Trustees, ensuring lived experience drives everything we do.
Our vision is for people, from all walks of life facing mental health challenges, to achieve their potential and feel respected.
IF YOU JOIN US…
You'll be joining us at an exciting time for Mosaic Clubhouse! We just celebrated our 30-year anniversary of proudly holding a positive reputation at the heart of our community.
As Chair, you'll lead on developing a new strategy to improve the mental wellbeing of our members, extending our reach to help more people.
Are you ready to guide us through this invigorating time in our history? This is a great opportunity to lead on our priorities over the coming years through a person-centred approach.
WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR
We are looking for someone who is motivated by our purpose and mission – to change the lives of people affected by poor mental health. You'll need to bring successful board leadership experience to ensure effective operation of our governance.
We are particularly looking for:
- effective decision-making in line with Charity Commission and International Clubhouse standards
