Chair of the Board of Trustees
Gambling Lived Experience Network (GLEN)
Unremunerated (reasonable expenses reimbursed)
UK-wide | Approx. 1–2 days per month
The Gambling Lived Experience Network (GLEN) is seeking an inspirational and values‑led Chair to lead its Board of Trustees at a pivotal time of growth and system change.
GLEN is an independent charity ensuring the voices of people with lived experience of gambling harm meaningfully influence national debate, public policy and system design. As the gambling harms landscape undergoes significant reform - including the introduction of a new statutory levy - GLEN’s role as a credible, independent lived experience voice is more important than ever.
As Chair, you will provide strategic leadership to the Board, uphold strong governance and accountability, and work closely with the Chief Executive to guide the organisation through its next phase of development. This is a formative appointment, offering the opportunity to help shape Board culture, strengthen governance foundations and ensure lived experience insight remains visible, valued and applied in decision‑making.
The Person
- Proven senior leadership experience operating at an executive or Board level
- Strong understanding of governance, ideally within the Charity sector
- Experience of leading organisations through growth, change or complex political environments
- A strong connection to social causes that impact people’s lives, particularly individuals and community who experience stigma.
- Strong leadership and facilitation skills
This is a rare opportunity to play a decisive leadership role in shaping the future of the gambling harms system and to support an organisation with growing influence, credibility and ambition.
