Could you be Clinks' next Chair of the Board of Trustees?
Clinks' chair has completed two terms and will be stepping down at our AGM November 2024, therefore we are currently recruiting for a Chair of the Board of Trustees.
We are looking for a chair who can lead that team well and work with the leadership team to steward a vibrant and vital voluntary sector. Our new chair will be committed to voluntary action, our organisation, our values, and anti-racism. The Chair is pivotal in creating the conditions for overall board and individual director effectiveness, both inside and outside the boardroom. We aim to onboard our new chair as a trustee from April 2024 to ensure efficient handover, ahead of them taking over the role as Chair following the AGM.
We actively encourage applications from groups of people that are under-represented on trustee boards, including:
· Those with lived experience of prison or people who hold a criminal record
· First-time trustees including young people
· Racially minoritised people
The deadline for applications is 8 January 2024.

We are also seeking two committed people to join our board of trustees, as one trustee has come to the end of their trusteeship, and another has joined Clinks' leadership team.
To ensure we have a range of experiences and skills within our board we are particularly interested in hearing from people with experience in prison and probation, income generation and business development. Additionally, people who are skilled in communication, influence, and networking.
One trustee will be appointed from April 24 and will be required to take a seat on Clinks F&HRC and board and the other will be appointed in November 2024 at our AGM.
