Chair of trustees

Thank you for your interest in supporting Headway – the brain injury association (charity no. 1025852), otherwise known as Headway UK.

This empowering charity has for more than 40 years been improving the lives of individuals and families affected by brain injury.

Whether it is providing a listening ear or expert guidance via our nurse-led helpline; increasing the confidence of brain injury survivors to become more independent with the safety net provided by our bespoke identity card scheme; or supporting a UK-wide network of independent local Headway charities and volunteer-led branches, the work we do changes lives.

About the role

The Chair provides leadership to the charity’s board of trustees, ensuring it operates efficiently and in accordance with the charity’s mission, vision, and values. They oversee governance and support the charity's management in achieving its strategic objectives. A key aspect of this role will be leading the board through a period of modernisation. This requires extensive experience in change management, as well as in building cohesive relationships among trustees, senior leadership, and stakeholders.
