Railway is looking for a person to become chair of its board.
According to
an advert for the unpaid position on the Third Sector Jobs website, the person appointed
will hold the board and management team to account for the railway’s mission
and vision, providing “inclusive leadership to the board of trustees”.
They will also
ensure that each trustee fulfils their duties and responsibilities for the
effective governance of the railway, which is a registered charity.
The
advert goes on to say that the search for a chair to “spearhead and exciting
period of change and restructure, full of possibilities” follows an extensive
governance review and the subsequent drafting of a five-year strategic plan.
The
new chair will also be expected to act as an ambassador and the public face of
the charity alongside the general manager Liz McGuinness, whilst ensuring the board
operates well as a team and works closely with the entire management team to
achieve agreed objectives.
The
person appointed, says the advert, should be “engaged with, excited by and have
a demonstrable record of experience of organisational management and governance
and inevitably share an enthusiasm for heritage railways, their vision, mission
and values.”
They must also
be able to “communicate a compelling sense of purpose to others is essential as
is experience and understanding of corporate governance issues.”
The person
selected will serve a maximum term of three years, before being eligible for
re-appointment for a further two terms of three years each.
Expressions of
interest in the position have to be forwarded to the general manager by
September 21 with interviews taking place the week commencing September 28.
