Full Job Description

Chair of the New Vic Board of Trustees



Summary


Our current Chair is retiring after long service, so now we are seeking a Chair who will help us build on this success and support the next phase of our development.



More Details


This is an unpaid role with an initial term of 3 years, typically renewable for a further two terms.


We are looking for a collaborative and generous leader who shares our belief in the power of theatre and who is excited by the opportunity to play a key role in shaping its future.


You will have leadership experience in a professional organisation and a demonstrable understanding of the key role of good governance in a successful organisation. We imagine that you will already have worked with boards, from the perspective of either a Board member or an executive, but you don't need to have previous experience as a Chair (although if you do, that would be great too).


It's essential that our Chair shows real commitment to the Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent region and can articulate a strong case for the value of culture and the importance of supporting live theatre here.


For further details including how to register your interest, please visit the vacancies page of our website at the link provided.


Deadline for expressions of interest - Tuesday 26 May at 12noon.
