Job Summary

Parents and Carers in Performing Arts (PiPA) is a charity looking for dynamic Co‑Chairs or a single Chair to help guide our next phase of growth

Job Description

PiPA delivers its charitable mission through close collaboration between the Chair (or Co-Chairs), Trustees, and the Co-CEOs, who together shape the organisation's vision and strategy. The Board is committed to diversity, inclusion, and representation, and is seeking dynamic Co-Chairs, or a single Chair, to help guide PiPA's next phase of growth. We're looking for people who care deeply about making a difference, people who want to help shape a more compassionate, care-centred future for the performing arts. We would especially like to hear from candidates with a commitment to anti-racism, EDIB (equity, diversity, inclusion & belonging) and a track record of inclusive leadership. Applicants should have experience of charity governance and board practice with an inclusive and open approach to relationships and strong leadership skills. Our aim is to build a Board that truly represents the people we serve - in background, identity, experience, and voice. We want everyone to feel that they belong and can play a meaningful part in our work. The Chair / Co-Chair(s) will help us to sustain that culture. We especially welcome people with lived experience that reflects the realities of care - whether you're a carer or parent or someone from a background or identity that's often under-represented in leadership. If you're passionate about what we do and ready to bring your experience to lead positive change in the performing arts, we'd love to hear from you. The total time commitment for the Chair equates to approximately 1-2 days per month (further details can be found in the job pack). Although being a Trustee / the Chair(s) is unpaid, all reasonable expenses of Board members incurred in the course of your duties will be reimbursed by PiPA in accordance with our expenses policy. This could include travel costs, accommodation, and the cost of covering your caring responsibilities.
