JOIN OUR BOARD OF TRUSTEES:
Kingsgate Workshops seeks applications to join its Board of Trustees.
We are currently recruiting for the following trustee roles:
Chair of the Board, Trustee Role
We are seeking an experienced trustee to become out Chair. You will ideally have senior-level experience of working within the charity or arts sectors. Knowledge of how artist's studios, or charity-managed large buildings are run, would be particularly welcomed.
Kingsgate Workshops Trust (KWT) is a provider of affordable studios and workshops for artists and craft makers in Kilburn, London, NW6. We are looking for an enthusiastic, engaged and collaborative individual looking to make a distinctive contribution to KWT. As Chair of the Board of Trustees, you will provide strategic leadership and oversight for KWT as it seeks to deliver on its strategy, while ensuring it operates in accordance with its governing document and meets its legal and regulatory obligations.
You will be able to act with tact and diplomacy, possess the ability to listen and engage effectively, and foster and promote a collaborative environment. Board meetings will be places where all participants are encouraged to contribute, constructively challenge, express diverse views and develop consensus. You will bring an external, independent perspective to the Board, lead on strategy development and help the charity grow.
You will have a good understanding of charity governance, financial matters and of the pressures put upon a small organisation managing a large building with many studio-holders. You will further need to ensure that the board of Trustees is regularly refreshed, is diverse and incorporates the right balance of skills, knowledge and experience needed to govern and lead the Trust effectively.
The existing Board contains individuals offering a range of expertise (including charity governance, legal, architecture, finance) several of whom have been on the Board for a number of years. The current Chair is stepping back due to other commitments but will remain on the Board.
Please note that all KWT trustee positions are voluntary, unpaid positions.
The diversity of the Board continues as a priority and KWT welcomes applications from anyone not disqualified from serving as a charity Trustee.
