Chair of the Board of Trustees
Apply before 9am on Monday 20 September 2021
We are looking to appoint a new Chair of the Board of Trustees as we say farewell and thank you to Martin Green CBE, who now turns his focus to the 2022 Commonwealth Games, for three fantastic years of service.
The chair position is an opportunity to play a key role in the next stage of Middle Child’s journey, as we bounce back from a pandemic that has brought into sharper focus than ever before the fight for equality and the importance of the arts. This will be at the heart of our next application to continue as an Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisation.
We are especially keen to hear from people from backgrounds or characteristics underrepresented in the arts and on theatre boards. We encourage those who are uncertain if they are suitable or qualified to talk to us regardless. We recognise potential and take pride in giving people a platform to make a step-change in their career, and in their personal development.
This is an unpaid post, for an initial term of three years. Reasonable out-of-pocket expenses will be reimbursed.
