Job description
Chair of Trustees - The Family Place Foundation
We are recruiting a new Chair of Trustees to lead our Board and support the next stage of our charity’s development.
Location: Remote, with occasional in‑person trustee meetings (typically once or twice a year) held in the Clyro/Herefordshire area.
Time commitment: Approximately 1–2 days per month. This includes six trustee meetings a year, occasional ad‑hoc discussions and light‑touch support between meetings (for example reviewing policies or responding to emails).
Remuneration: Voluntary role (reasonable expenses reimbursed)
About us
Established in 2020, we are a small, well-established charity with a strong grounding and a clear purpose. We raise funds to provide support to adopted, fostered and kinship care children and their families to improve emotional wellbeing, strengthen relationships, and reduce the impact of early trauma. In collaboration with leading UK practitioners, we support the delivery of a range of services providing essential therapeutic care and family support that isn’t covered by statutory funding. Services offered include Family Activity Days, Specialist Clinical Workshops, Advisory Consultations and Family Respite Camps. We also work to raise awareness of the challenges faced by children who cannot live with their birth families. We are a warm, committed team with a strong reputation for high‑quality support, clear governance, and genuine care for the families we serve.
To learn more about our work, please search online for “The Family Place Foundation”.
We are now seeking a Chair of Trustees to help guide the charity through its next stage of development, including shaping our emerging Family Foundations project, a significant new early‑years initiative for the charity, alongside our ongoing portfolio of funded projects delivered through our specialist partner. This is an exciting opportunity to join a dedicated Board and a small operational support team who care deeply about the families we serve and the long‑term sustainability of the organisation.
The charity is currently led by a Board of four trustees, supported by two part‑time operational staff and a small group of volunteers.
As Chair, you will provide leadership to the Board, ensure effective governance, and help the charity continue enabling the delivery of high‑quality, trauma‑informed support. You will work closely with the trustees and operational colleagues to help shape strategy, strengthen partnerships, and ensure the charity remains compliant, resilient, and focused on its mission. You will also play a key role in strengthening the charity’s governance and fundraising, which in turn enables the therapeutic delivery carried out by our specialist partner.
A supportive handover will be provided to ensure a smooth and confident transition into the role.
Person Specification
We are looking for someone who brings:
-
Warmth, clarity and good judgement, with a balanced, proportionate approach to governance.
-
A genuine commitment to improving the lives of adopted, fostered and kinship care children and an understanding of the challenges faced by families affected by early trauma.
-
Confidence in chairing discussions, helping the Board reach clear, well‑considered decisions.
-
An understanding of good governance, including risk, safeguarding and compliance (or a willingness to learn).
-
The ability to work collaboratively with trustees and our small operational support team, offering encouragement and constructive challenge while supporting the charity’s governance and fundraising role, which enables the specialist delivery work carried out by our partner.
-
Strategic thinking, with the ability to help shape the charity’s direction and ensure long‑term sustainability.
-
Reliability, integrity and a calm, steady approach, keeping the charity’s purpose at the centre of decision‑making.
-
Meets the eligibility requirements to serve as a charity trustee, as set out by the Charity Commission.
Helpful but not essential:
-
Experience of chairing a board or committee
-
Experience in charity governance, education, social care, therapeutic work, or community leadership would be helpful, but we are open to a wide range of backgrounds.
-
Lived or professional experience related to adoption, fostering, trauma or family support.
What We Offer
-
A warm, committed Board, small operational support team and group of volunteers who work collaboratively and value clear communication.
-
A meaningful opportunity to shape the future of a small but growing charity with a strong reputation for high‑quality, trauma‑informed support.
-
Flexible time commitments that fit around work and family life.
-
A chance to make a tangible difference to adopted, fostered and kinship-care children and young people, and the families who care for them.
How to apply
Please apply through the CharityJob platform with your CV and a short supporting statement outlining your interest in the role and your relevant experience.
If you would like an informal conversation before applying please contact the charity directly using the details provided on our website. We would be happy to arrange a conversation with the current Chair or another member of the Board if you would like to learn more about the role.
We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and lived experiences.
