Purpose
The Chair leads the board of Trustees, ensuring the charity is well-governed, fulfils its mission, complies with all legal and regulatory requirements, and operates in the best interests of its beneficiaries. The Chair works closely with the Executive Director to provide strategic leadership, support, and challenge.
Background to the Charity
For the past forty years, CHIRP has enabled thousands of people to report safety concerns through our confidential reporting service without fear of identification or harming their careers, contributing to safer environments in the air and at sea. This service has evolved to meet changing needs and is still providing a unique, vital and valuable service to people working in the aviation and maritime industries.
Over the past year a new strategy has been developed focusing on:
- unlocking the barriers to reporting for those who are working in the most challenging situations;
- building coalitions for system change in safety culture and practice;
- embedding best practice safety cultures with employers; and,
- engaging new and future generations.
We also seek to further the impact of the charity by ensuring future sustainability.
We have an excellent, highly motivated team, a committed and skilled Board and a well-earned reputation for being a trustworthy and willing organisation there to help and make a difference, all of which makes this is an exciting time to join the board in this leadership role. Guided by the values of trust and integrity, safety and accountability, a just culture and expertise and collaboration we know we can make an even greater difference in improving safety culture, practice and learning. To do this, and building on the excellence of the past, we will need a Chair who is collaborative, courageous, visionary and strategic, who understands the fundraising and financing challenges of today’s charity sector and who comes with experience of building sustainability and resilience. These foundations will enable the charity to achieve its ambitious plans for future growth.

At the heart of Ronald McDonald House Charities, is a simple belief: families belong together, especially when a child is seriously ill. Every day, we support parents, siblings and carers at one of the most challenging moments of their lives, offering not just a place to stay, but space to breathe, connect and cope.
We are the UK’s leading provider of family accommodation, with a network of 14 Houses supporting around 530 families each night. Thousands more families use our Houses each year as a place to rest, refresh and gather strength before returning to their child’s bedside. Yet demand continues to exceed supply, and too many families are still facing long commutes, sleepless nights on hospital chairs or in cars.
Over the next five years, our ambition is clear: to help more families and to serve them better, expanding both our accommodation and our programme of emotional and practical support. To help guide us through this pivotal phase, we are seeking to appoint two new Trustees to our Board:
We are committed to building a Board that reflects a wide range of perspectives, backgrounds and lived experiences. We warmly welcome applications from first time trustees as well as those with prior board experience, and we are particularly interested in candidates who bring empathy and a deep understanding of the challenges families face during a child’s hospital stay.
We begin this next chapter from a position of strength, with the continued backing of the McDonald’s system alongside a clear ambition to diversify income and strengthen our organisation. By 2029, we aim to grow income to over £20m while reducing reliance on any single source.
If you share our values and want to help shape a future where more families are supported, together, we would love to hear from you.
