Chair of Trustees

Volunteering Matters are looking for a new Chair to succeed Anne Heal who has been a fantastic ambassador and chair for Volunteering Matters over the past 9 years. Our new Chair will build on this work and guide the Council (Board) and the organisation through the next stage of its development.

Like many charities right now, Volunteering Matters is working through a challenging period, navigating the balance of delivering great projects in a difficult economic landscape, whilst working in and alongside communities experiencing complex adversities and requiring innovative place-based solutions.

We are looking for a Chair with the confidence, skills, experience and collaborative approach to provide leadership and challenge through this time, working closely with the Board and Executive Leadership Team, to continue to bring success through our fantastic work with communities whilst providing stability to the organisation and our people.


It is imperative that in addition to the skills and experience as outlined in the role profile, the successful candidate is able to:


-Support the CEO working to a plan to ensure the long-term viability of the Charity


-Remain calm and productive through times of uncertainty and unforeseen changes


-Bring the Board together to work collaboratively and proactively through shared working practices


-Work closely with Board members and the Executive team to ensure sufficient rigour in governance, regularly monitoring the health of the organisation and challenging where necessary.
