The Board of Trustees is looking to appoint a new Chair to lead New Writing North through its next, exciting phase. At the same time, we are also looking for a new Vice Chair and a Trustee to join our Board.
We’re looking for an experienced Chair who can build on our success to date, is inspired by the challenge ahead, and who is passionate about the North East to be a visible ambassador for our important work.
For our new Vice Chair, we’re looking outside of the North East for someone who can help maintain and develop our relationships with the publishing and media industries in London and beyond, while working closely with our Chair in the region.
A Trustee with a passion for writing that will bring a new perspective to our Board and specifically help the organisation to champion the work that we do to empower young people across the North of England.
The Chair and Board of Trustees are responsible for the overall governance and strategic direction of the charity and its financial health, developing the organisation’s aims, objectives, and goals in accordance with the governing document, and legal and regulatory guidelines.
Successful candidates will share our passion for transforming the lives of young people and adults through writing and literature and will bring new connections and perspectives to the charity during our transformational capital project and transition to a new operating model.
Our work isn’t possible without the skills, knowledge, lived and professional experience and expertise of the people who give their time to our charity.
More than anything, we want people who share our vision for writing as a tool for social change and progress and who want to be part of making real, meaningful, and lasting change happen in the North East.
