Role Description:

This is a rewarding role suited to someone who is comfortable with complex relationships and can communicate well and motivate people at all levels. A key part of the role is line management of the CEO. Experience of conservation is not essential though a commitment to wildlife is. As important is an understanding of governance (or a willingness to learn), an ability to see the big strategic picture and to harness the skills of a varied and talented group of Trustees. The Chair is also a Trustee of RWT.

 

The role of the Chair includes:

  •  Chairing the Council of Trustees which meets at least six times a year.
  • Leading the Council in fulfilling its responsibilities for the governance of the organisation by ensuring that it acts in accordance with its constitution and all relevant legislation.
  • Line managing the CEO, working in partnership with him/her to achieve the vision and strategy of the Trust.
  • Fostering excellent relations between the Trustees and the CEO, staff, volunteers and members.
  • With the CEO, taking a leadership role in promoting RWT, representing the organisation effectively to external partners, including the wider Wildlife Trust movement.

 

Priorities for Chair during tenure:

  • Leading the Trust in delivering its new Vision and Strategy.
  • Ensuring the long-term financial sustainability of the Trust.
  • Implementing the results of the recent governance review.
  • Working with the CEO to support and develop our young and enthusiastic team, and to ensure we are a truly inclusive organisation.

There is no time to lose if we are to bring nature back from the brink. We need new trustees of all backgrounds, ages and stages with the determination and commitment to help us drive forward nature’s recovery.
