We bring together awarding organisations, education providers, technology suppliers, researchers and policymakers to advance high-quality, innovative assessment practice in the UK and internationally.
We are now seeking a new Chair of the Board to lead the next phase of the Association’s development.
This is a high-impact governance role for an experienced senior leader who is passionate about assessment, education and technology, and who enjoys working collaboratively to make a difference across a complex and evolving sector.

- influence policy, practice and debate across assessment and education technology;
- support the continued professionalisation and growth of the Association; and
- work with a knowledgeable, engaged Board and an experienced executive team.
The role is supported by an annual honorarium of £6,000 in recognition of the time commitment and responsibility involved.
What you’ll be doing
As Chair, you will:
Provide strategic leadership
- Lead the Board in setting the strategic direction of the Association and monitoring progress against agreed objectives.
- Support the long-term sustainability, relevance and impact of the eAA.
Ensure strong governance
Ensure the Association operates within its governance framework and complies with all statutory and fiduciary duties.
Foster a positive, inclusive and professional Board culture that encourages open discussion, diverse perspectives and collective decision-making.
Work closely with the Vice-Chair and other Directors to maintain continuity and effective governance processes.
Support and challenge the Executive
- Provide support, guidance and constructive challenge to the CEO and operations team.
- Oversee performance against strategic and operational goals.
- Review budgets, management accounts and strategic plans in collaboration with the Treasurer and executive team.
Represent and advocate
- Act as an ambassador for the Association with members, partners, sponsors and external stakeholders.
- Represent the eAA at key events, including the e-Assessment International Conference and Awards.
- Use your networks and credibility to enhance the Association’s profile and influence.
Essential experience and attributes

- A strong understanding of assessment principles and the role of technology in transforming assessment practice.
- Demonstrated Board-level governance experience, ideally within a company limited by guarantee, charity or membership organisation.
- Excellent chairing and facilitation skills, with the ability to lead a diverse Board effectively.
- Strategic thinking, integrity and the confidence to provide constructive challenge.
- Strong communication and ambassadorial skills.
Desirable

Action for Stammering Children is looking for Trustees!
Please read on …
Action for Stammering Children (ASC) is looking to recruit two enthusiastic and suitably qualified people to join our Trustee Board – ideally one with a background in academic work in a field related to speech and language difficulties, and the other with experience in the policy world and/ or corporate sector. You might have a personal connection to stammering but this is not required. Your interest, enthusiasm and experience are the most important.
What is Action for Stammering Children?
Action for Stammering Children is the UK charity for children and young people who stammer, their families, and the communities who support them. We are a small charity, founded in 1989, but one that has big ambitions and punches considerably above its weight.
We’re here to make sure that every child who stammers has the support, respect and confidence to live the life they want to lead.
We support and empower parents, caregivers and professionals; facilitate and champion research; and campaign for changes in policy and societal attitudes
What do we do?
1. Provide information, community and support
We provide resources, advice and guidance for children and young people who stammer, their families, and the professionals who support them.
2. Work to change policies and attitudes
We make sure the voices of children and young people who stammer are heard. We work with politicians and other decision makers to ensure the unique needs of children who stammer are reflected in public policy. But we know we can’t stop there. That’s why we campaign to challenge prejudices and misconceptions, seeking to change how society treats stammering and promote acceptance.
3. Champion research
We support and promote research into childhood stammering in order to build understanding and feed into our advocacy work, informing positive changes in policy and practice.
Our team
ASC currently has a staff team of four, headed up by CEO Dr Ria Bernard since 2022, and in addition we have a part-time book-keeper and often a couple of interns in the summer.
Our Board of Trustees has been chaired by Dame Jane Roberts since 2021 with Juliet Leach recently appointed as Vice-Chair. We are a professional and friendly bunch who would extend a warm welcome to new trustees. Our board includes two younger trustees who had previously been members of ASC’s Youth Panel. The Youth Panel is made up of young people who themselves stammer and who inform our strategic direction as well as engage in projects of their own. Our Annual Report for 2024-25 is available on the Charity Commission website, in addition to Trustees’ Reports for previous years.
We’d love to hear from potential interested applicants to explain more about what we do and who we are looking for.

Interview date: 2nd June 2026
