Trustees

Walsingham Support
Central London
Unremunerated
Hackney

Walsingham Support has been supporting individuals with learning disabilities, autism and complex needs across locations in England and Wales for over 38 years. We pride ourselves on putting people at the heart of what we do, enabling us to deliver truly person-centred support solutions that provide increased independence and improved quality of life.

The Charity is led by an executive team who have succeeded in delivering plans over the last two years to ensure the organisation is financially sustainable while we drive transformation of the way we operate and deliver services. Social Care continues to evolve, and we want to be working at the leading edge of this, innovating and building services around the needs and choices of the people we support.

THE ROLE

We’ve made great progress with our ambitious transformation plan, but we’re just at the beginning of our journey and are looking for two trustees to help strengthen the Board at this crucial time. We are looking for leaders who bring significant expertise in their fields and are looking specifically for an experienced HR and Organisational Development professional who has driven culture change and understands how to take a workforce on a transformation journey; and operations and performance either as a senior level leader within social care providing or someone from a social care commissioning background who has commissioned and overseen the delivery of person-centred outcomes for adults with learning disabilities or autistic people.

We need strategic thinkers who can see the bigger picture and who have a naturally open and collaborative approach and can demonstrate high levels of personal and professional integrity, as well as demonstrating a deep commitment to our mission and values.
