Chair




We are seeking a Chair to provide strategic leadership, support and stewardship at this pivotal moment. We are looking for a collaborative leader who is able to inspire the Home-Start UK Trustee Board, executive team and the wider Home-Start network to grow the national reach, profile and presence of the Home-Start movement. You will be passionate about our front-line impact in communities, but also able to hold the strategic picture in mind. With exceptional communication and interpersonal skills, you will bring a sharp focus on the importance of building strong and trusted relationships.
Whatever your background or achievements, you will offer direct experience as a Trustee, ideally as Chair or Vice-Chair, understand the governance responsibilities inherent in a role like this and be prepared for the complexities of governance within a federated environment. In return, we offer a fulfilling opportunity to grow the impact that the Home-Start movement can have for families.
