Job description
Chair
Harrogate Homeless Project
Board meetings take place at Springboard day centre, Oxford Street, Harrogate, HG1 1PP.
Harrogate Homeless Project is the leading charity in the Harrogate district supporting individuals who are homeless, at risk of homelessness or recovering from homelessness. Our mission is to use our expertise to address the root causes of a person’s homelessness and support them to long-term independent living. We aim to influence local, regional and national policy to help deliver better outcomes for our clients.
We have bold ambitions to make a step change in the support given to our clients. We benefit from strong and positive public awareness of our work. That work is supported by a staff team of around 18 people, nearly 50 volunteers and strong links with partners including North Yorkshire Council, other charities and local businesses.
The next period promises to be exciting for Harrogate Homeless Project as we develop our direct services to clients, extend the support offered in our premises by partners, put our influencing of public policy on a firmer footing and to significantly invest in, and expand, our fundraising.
The role.
Our current Chair is leaving in a planned way to take up a non-executive role in another organisation. We are seeking an exceptional successor to lead our Board and work with our executive team to progress our ambitious plans.
We are looking for someone with proven leadership qualities; you will also be well-connected with any of our key partner groups in North Yorkshire – charities, businesses and the public sector. The highest levels of personal credibility are essential for this role and sound judgment in dealings with staff, clients and partners is essential. Our longer-term impact and sustainability rely on rigorous governance and statutory compliance. You will ensure that our oversight, scrutiny and legal compliance arrangements are as strong as possible.
This is a great time to join us, as we work collaboratively with a diverse range of partners to bring hope and empowerment to our clients. If you want to be part of this, we look forward to hearing from you.
The appointment is on a voluntary basis with reasonable expenses reimbursed.
