We are seeking a new Chair who shares our passion for meeting the everyday needs of people who are living in poverty while preventing usable essential goods from being sent to landfill.The position of Chair is a vital role within our organisation. As the Chair, you will provide strategic direction, guidance, and oversight to the board of trustees, ensuring the effective governance and management of the charity. This position requires a strong commitment to our mission, excellent leadership skills, and the ability to foster collaboration among diverse stakeholders.
We are anticipating a Chair to serve a 3 year term and the commitment is around 16 hours per month to cover reviewing papers, attending meetings and supporting our CEO & Founder, Rosalind Bluestone.
We are also open to exploring a co-Chair model whereby two people share the Chair position with a division of responsibilities to be agreed. We feel that this approach might be both beneficial for the candidates, who will be able to “share the load” and benefit from each other’s expertise and experience, and beneficial for the organisation as we juggle day-to-day governance and planning for the future.
