Chair of Trustees (Voluntary Role)

Are you a strategic leader with a passion for social justice and positive change?

We are seeking an inspiring and committed Chair of Trustees to lead our board and help guide Amos Trust, an established, well-run charity with a high profile, which is dedicated to:

• Supporting Palestinian rights and self-determination;

• Advancing gender equality; and

• Addressing the challenges of climate change and environmental sustainability

As Chair, you will provide leadership to the Board of Trustees, work closely with the Director, support good governance and help shape the charity's vision, strategy, and impact.

We welcome applications from individuals with leadership experience, strong communication skills, and a commitment to our values. Previous trustee experience is helpful but not essential. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, in particular those who are under-represented in Board Chair and Trustee positions.

This is an opportunity to make a practical contribution to causes that matter and help strengthen a growing organisation's influence and effectiveness.

If you’d like to find out more about the Chair’s position, please contact chairrecruitment@amostrust.org. To apply, please send a CV and a short email or cover letter (no more than two pages) outlining why you’re well suited to the role and what excites you about the opportunity, to the same address.

Please note, this role is voluntary. The Chair and trustees are each appointed for a four-year term, which can be extended for a further four years. On average, we expect the Chair to contribute the equivalent of one to two days a month to the role.

The Trustee body meets four to five times a year for two hours, with two of those meetings held in person. Meeting times are set to suit trustees and typically fall outside a standard working day. We aim to ensure that Trustee meetings don’t spend extensive periods on policies, procedures and reports, so there’s time to properly engage with the key issues.
