Could you be the next Chair of Trustees at the Ann Craft Trust?
We’re looking for an inspirational leader who can help us continue our journey with the support of our CEO, staff group and fellow trustees. You’ll share our vision and already be aligned to our values – living them. You don’t need an in-depth knowledge of safeguarding, training or consultancy but you must be able to lead compassionately and with humility. You should be a strategic thinker and be able to maintain high standards of governance through empowering those around you.
You will, of course, have high levels of personal integrity. In addition to the usual duties of a trustee, which you can see in the full role profile, as chair you’ll also need to:
* Provide strategic leadership to the charity and the Board, ensuring that the Ann Craft Trust achieves its vision, purpose and mission.
* Work in partnership with the Chief Executive and team to achieve our mission.
* Lead the board in ensuring that it fulfils its responsibilities for the governance of the organisation.
* Optimise the relationship between the board and our staff and volunteers.
* Plan and chair the board meetings and the AGM, with others as appropriate.
* Act as a spokesperson and figurehead for the Ann Craft Trust.
