Thank you!
Over a million children in the UK have no contact whatsoever with one of their parents after separation. This can lead to far-reaching physical and emotional problems, with issues including antisocial behaviour, distress and unhappiness.
If you are passionate about child welfare and would like to make an impact, could this role be for you?
We are seeking a committed and strategic Chair of Trustees to lead our excellent Board of Trustees and ensure our Child Contact Centre remains safe, sustainable and child-centred.
Our centre provides a safe, friendly and neutral space where children from separated families can spend time with the non-resident parent and, in some cases, grandparents.
About the Role
The Chair will:
- Lead and develop an effective Board of Trustees
- Ensure safeguarding and child welfare remain paramount
- Provide strategic oversight
- Support and work with the Centre Co-ordinator without micromanaging

- Emotional intelligence
- Sound judgement and integrity
- Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
- The ability to handle complaints or reputational issues
- A calm disposition during a possible crisis
- The ability to act as an ambassador for the centre within the local community
