Who we are
The Edward James Foundation is a registered charity comprising West Dean College (including the School of Arts, School of Conservation and KLC School of Design), West Dean Gardens, West Dean Estate and West Dean Tapestry Studio.
Our mission is to advance creativity, conserve heritage, and care for our extraordinary estate – providing world-class education in arts, design, craft and conservation, while enriching culture and the environment.
Our vision is to be recognised internationally as a centre of excellence, where creativity, heritage and landscape are brought together to inspire and equip future generations.
Across West Dean – from our college to our gardens, collections and estate – we bring people together to learn, make and experience. Students and visitors are guided by leading practitioners and the distinctive environment we care for. In turn, they develop the insight, skill and imagination to conserve heritage, enrich culture and contribute to a better world.
About the roles
Our current context
West Dean is at a pivotal moment. Under the leadership of a new Chief Executive and refreshed senior team, we are addressing longstanding financial challenges and reshaping the organisation for the future.
A deficit reduction plan is being developed, with renewed focus on:
- Commercial and operational resilience
- Sharper strategic clarity
- Sustainable stewardship of our assets and estate
We are preserving what is unique and irreplaceable, while being rigorous about modern expectations of scale, impact, and performance.
As a Trustee, you will contribute to the governance, oversight, and strategic direction of the Edward James Foundation. You will work closely with the Board and Executive Team to ensure West Dean is governed responsibly, managed effectively, and delivering on its charitable purpose.
Who we are looking for
We are particularly keen to appoint Trustees with senior commercial or retail leadership experience, ideally from a large, complex organisation. This may include:
- National retail groups or membership organisations
- Visitor attractions or heritage organisations
- Consumer-facing brands with a values-led ethos
- Further Education and Higher Education
You may have held executive roles such as Managing Director, Chief Operating Officer, or Commercial Director – or you may now be operating in a non-executive or portfolio capacity.
Crucially, you will bring:
Strong financial and operational judgement
- Experience of transformation or turnaround
- A focus on commercial performance and organisational impact
- Experience as a charity trustee or non-executive is strongly preferred. A connection to the arts, design, heritage, or education will be welcomed – but is not essential.
