Business / Organisation Name: Age UK Oxfordshire and Action for Carers Oxfordshire
Business / Organisation Sector: Not-for-Profit
Business / Organisation Website: https://bit.ly/2V0qDeI
Business / Organisation Type: Charity or Not-for-Profit
Role Title: Chair
Remuneration: Expenses only

Role Description

Age UK Oxfordshire (AUKO) and Action for Carers Oxfordshire (AfCO) are sister charities with a group turnover of over £4 million, who enable older people and carers across our county to live well. We have over 160 staff and 235 volunteers to support us to deliver services and activities for older people in Oxfordshire. We work within our communities to support older people, stay independent and live life to the full, and to support carers to maintain their health and wellbeing. Our services include, information and advice, home support services, befriending, dementia services, and providing activities throughout the county.

We are proud of the positive effect our organisations have on the lives of the people we support and of how creatively and innovatively, we have developed and grown our organisations. During the Covid -19 pandemic we are proud of our staff and volunteers as we have continued and enhanced our support for our beneficiaries during this time, whilst also receiving positive feedback and growing our reputation both in our communities and nationally. We have learned so much in this time and as we emerge from the pandemic, we are looking to continue to be innovative and develop a new blended approach to services and support.

Looking to the future, we want to strengthen our reach and our partner networks and ultimately to enable more people from our communities to live the life they want to live.
As we embark on our new strategy for 2022-2025 and our current Chair, Davina Logan comes to the end of her term in Summer 2022, we are looking to appoint a new Chair at a time of great excitement and challenge.

We are looking for a “Chair in waiting” who is aligned with our vision and who is passionate about our cause and aims. This is a hugely rewarding role to lead our organisations through our next strategic stage of development.

We are looking for a committed leader who will bring a wealth of knowledge and leadership experience to the board, who will also be an ambassador and representative of our organisations.

The Age UK Oxfordshire ‘family’ comprises four separate legal entities: Age UK Oxfordshire, the main charity, Age UK Oxfordshire Trading Co (now dormant), Action for Carers (Oxfordshire) and Ethical Legal Services Ltd, trading as Beacon. Beacon is chaired by Penny our Chief Executive.

The separate Boards of Trustees of Age UK Oxfordshire and Action for Carers Oxfordshire are chaired by one Chair and the two charities share the same Senior Management team. AUKO has 10 Trustees including the Chair and Action for Carers Oxfordshire has seven Trustees including the Chair. The Chair and Treasurer sit on both boards.

We expect the time commitment to be circa 4-5 days a month. This includes the six main board meetings a year for AUKO and the four main board meetings for AfCO plus a strategy away day and the AGM. The Chair chairs the Remuneration and Nominations committee and can attend the Finance Review Group.

Business / Organisation Sector: Public
Business / Organisation Website: https://bit.ly/3juGXxK
Business / Organisation Type: School, College or University
Role Title: Governor
Remuneration: Expenses only

Role Description

Join the non-executive board of Inspire Education Group, and apply your experience of strategic finance, curriculum, or people services to ensure the college group achieves its ambition to be the first-choice provider of education and training across Lincolnshire and Cambridgeshire.

We are seeking strategic leaders from the region with the capacity to support our non-executive governing board and executive leadership team in achieving the objectives as set out in our 2021 – 2024 Strategic Plan and beyond.

With a relentless focus on excellence, we will continue to develop exceptional learning opportunities across our two campuses, responding to growth in the city of Peterborough, the rural catchment of Stamford and the surrounding towns and villages.

As a college group, we will continue to meet the demographic uptrend in the number of young learners by maintaining a broad and inclusive post-16 curriculum in both key locations and improving access to and participation in higher education. We will extend our capacity to deliver more apprenticeships, higher technical qualifications, degrees, and specialist training for employers. We will work with key stakeholders to tailor our provision to local skills needs and develop opportunities for upskilling, retraining, personal progression, and business growth.

By joining the Inspire Education Group Board, you will be positively contributing and having a direct impact on the future success of the college group and the life chances of our students. You will support the development and influence the direction of Inspire Education Group at a time of great momentum for us as we look to develop our organisation and provide excellence in education and training for young people and adults across the Lincolnshire and Cambridgeshire regions.

With an ambitious strategy to be the first choice technical and professional college for the region, we are seeking senior and strategic leaders from the local area to join our non-executive governing body.
To enable us to achieve our objectives, we aim to appoint up to three non-executive governors who have a passion for technical and professional education and training, and a commitment to supporting our college group’s ambition to build on the successes and use the strengths of both colleges. This passion and commitment should be underpinned by a track record of significant and impactful leadership in one or more of the following areas of expertise:

  • Strategic financial planning and audit
  • Education and curriculum strategy (school or further education)
  • Organisational development, diversity & inclusion, and human resources

These roles offer a fantastic opportunity to join an ambitious and committed non-executive board, and genuinely have an impact on the future success of the college group and our students.

This is an exciting time to join the non-executive board of Inspire Education Group, as we truly believe our ambitious and forward-looking strategy will ensure we continue to make a demonstrable and positive contribution to the communities we serve.

We recognise that our non-executive board is not presently reflective of the diverse communities served by Inspire Education Group. It is because of this that we particularly encourage women and people from ethnic minority communities to apply.

With an annual turnover of GBP50 million and over 280 employees, we make a significant contribution to our communities throughout the Vale of Aylesbury and the surrounding areas of Buckinghamshire and beyond.

Despite the impact of the pandemic this is an exciting time for us.

We are also responding to the challenges that we face, particularly in reducing our environmental impact and improving our sustainability.

We are seeking a committed and enthusiastic Board member who can bring new perspectives, particularly in our approach to customer services and meeting customer needs. As an affordable housing provider, building on our accountability to residents and ensuring they have an effective collective voice is a key aim for us, so we welcome applications from individuals with expertise in these areas.

If this looks like an exciting challenge and you are interested in being part of a driven and successful organisation, then we want to hear from you.

Equality, Diversity and Inclusion

We're inclusive with a strong set of values which express our commitment to becoming a leader in our field, providing quality affordable homes and investing in Aylesbury Vale's diverse communities. We celebrate innovation and different points of view and want a Board that is reflective of the communities we serve. Thus we welcome applicants from BAME backgrounds, and applicants who have status as an individual with a physical or mental disability. This may be your first Non-Executive Director role and we welcome people who are outside the Housing sector. However, more important is your enthusiasm, willingness to contribute and a real commitment to connect and bring us closer to our customers and communities. We are a Disability Confident Employer.

Role Description

Overcoming MS (OMS) is the world’s leading multiple sclerosis (MS) healthy lifestyle charity. We share the evidence behind the OMS program focussing on the everyday practical things that people can do to improve their health outcomes and quality of life.

We are unique in our whole person approach and practical evidence-based focus upon self-management of MS, formulated as a holistic program. This incudes following a plant based diet, supplementing with Vitamin D, exercising and using stress management techniques.

We believe that people with MS can lead full and healthy lives after a diagnosis.

Since our inception as a UK charity, inspired by Australian Professor of Medicine, Professor George Jelinek’s programme and book Overcoming Multiple Sclerosis, our founding Chair, Linda Bloom has grown and evolved OMS to inform, support and empower more people with MS and their families to live positive and fulfilling lives.

This will be a challenging but hugely rewarding role, offering the opportunity to take OMS to the next level and be the momentum for change.
