Chair
Voluntary basis with expenses reimbursed
As our Chair, you will provide inspirational leadership to the Drinkaware Board and hold the primary responsibility for ensuring that the fundamentals of a highly impactful organisation are in place, including appropriate governance, strategy, priorities and culture. The nature of Drinkaware’s work means that this role, alongside the Chief Executive, represents the Trust to senior stakeholders and opinion leaders. You will personally support our influencing activities, including in Westminster and with the devolved administrations of the UK, and with leaders, and some critics, in the public health arena and the wider charity sector. Unimpeachable integrity is, of course, essential. You will be a positive and passionate leader and a champion on our behalf, with formidable ambassadorial skills and high strategic and intellectual acumen. Within the organisation, you will be a source of wisdom, perspective and support.
