The Company is seeking a Chair of Trustees to provide leadership to its Board and guide the organization through its next phase of development. Responsibilities include ensuring effective governance, oversight, and strategic decision-making; supporting the development and delivery of the organization’s strategy; and building a constructive, appropriately challenging relationship with the Chief Executive. The Chair will lead Board development, effectiveness, and succession planning, while supporting the organization’s partnerships and influence across relevant sectors. The role also involves helping ensure high-quality support for children, young people, and families alongside strong financial stewardship. The ideal candidate will bring significant executive or non-executive Board experience, a strong understanding of governance and trustee responsibilities, and strategic leadership experience in a complex organization. Strong financial and commercial acumen, experience supporting and challenging senior executives, and excellent communication, influencing, and relationship-building skills are required. Candidates should demonstrate sound judgment, integrity, discretion, and a genuine commitment to the organization’s purpose. Previous Chair experience is welcome but not essential; experience in healthcare, public services, charities, or other purpose-led settings is advantageous.
