Eastside Community Trust was created in 2020 from a merger of Easton Community Centre, Felix Road Adventure Playground and Up Our Street. These three successful and well-respected charities had always worked closely and share many of the same values and aspirations for the community.
They are a community focused charity which provides people of all ages with places and ways to connect. They are passionate about community and helping local people build a healthy and happy neighbourhood.
They cover Easton and Lawrence Hill which is an area filled with creative, resilient, unconventional and community-minded people. It is diverse and dynamic with many residents who care for one another and the neighbourhood.
They are now seeking a new Chair of the Board.
The role will cover:
- Lead and manage the Board, engaging Trustees in governance responsibilities.
- Support and supervise the CEO and act as a channel of communication between board and staff.
- Act as a figurehead and spokesperson for the charity and encourage the Board’s engagement in profile raising activities.
We are looking for someone who can demonstrate the following:
- Strong leadership background, having chaired previous Trustee boards, or equivalent experience.
- A willingness to devote the necessary time and effort to work closely with the CEO and the Board to lead the organisation effectively, reliably attending meetings, away days and trainings.
- An understanding of the nature and work of the organisation in the context of the city, and knowledge of issues impacting diverse, inner-city communities.
- Ideally live or work in Easton or Lawrence Hill or with some connection to the area.
The successful applicant will be required to undergo a DBS Check.
