Chair

Accountable to: The Group’s members and Trustee Board (elected at the AGM)

The Chair leads the Trustee Board and works hand in hand with the Group Lead Volunteer, so that trustees support the adventure rather than steer it.

What you’ll do

• Plan agendas with the Secretary, chair meetings, and keep discussions friendly, focused and on time.
• Make sure the board reaches clear decisions — and that someone owns each action afterwards.
• Build a strong working partnership with the Group Lead Volunteer and Treasurer.
• Keep an eye on the big picture: our finances, our building at Lilac Grove, our water-base on Barton Island, our plans, and our duties as a charity.
• Spot, recruit and welcome new trustees, and help everyone play to their strengths.
• Lead the AGM and represent the Group in the community when needed.

You’ll enjoy this role if you like bringing people together and getting things decided.

Every adult role includes a friendly welcome conversation, a DBS check and free training — and a team that’s got your back.
