About the Role
The Chair of Trustees provides values led leadership to the Board, ensuring strong governance, strategic clarity and effective oversight. This is a non executive, voluntary role, focused on governance, leadership and accountability rather than day to day operational management.
Working closely with the Chief Executive Officer and fellow trustees, the Chair plays a central role in shaping the organisation’s strategic direction, supporting and holding the CEO, and Senior Leadership Team, to account. The Chair’s role is to ensure that the Board operates effectively, transparently and collaboratively. The Chair also acts as an ambassador for YCSW, representing the organisation externally, where appropriate.
We currently have a Chair of Trustees in post and are planning a supported handover period with the new Chair to ensure continuity, confidence and a smooth transition for the organisation and Board.
This role would suit someone with experience of board level leadership, or senior governance, who is motivated to use their skills to support a values led youth charity working with, and alongside, children and young people.
