Job Description

Join Play to the Crowd as their next Chair and help shape the future of Winchester's vibrant arts and education charity and inspire our local community.

Time Commitment: 2 days per month - Quarterly Board meetings, plus Action Group participation

Job Requirements

You are likely to bring experience of senior leadership, ideally within a cultural organisation - though we also recognise and value transferable skills. You will have strong networks and contacts, some of whom may be willing to support us as ambassadors, attend fundraising events, share expertise or contribute through donations.

You will certainly have a passion for performing arts, outdoor arts and community participation and an understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing arts and education charities.

Experience as a Trustee or Chair is helpful but not essential. A connection to, or affection for, Winchester is warmly welcomed.

Above all, you will be passionate about our mission, eager to lead on governance and strategy and excited to help our charity grow, thrive and reach even more people.

Job Responsibilities

As our Chair, you will be responsible for guiding the governance, management and administration of Play to the Crowd, ensuring we fulfil our mission and remain legally compliant. You will support our Chief Executive, Senior Leadership Team and Board in setting our strategic direction, overseeing financial stability and acting as an advocate and ambassador for our work.

You will have a direct impact on our ability to remain sustainable and resilient, helping to plan our future direction, ensuring we continue to provide fresh perspectives that support community cohesion, empathy and mental health through the arts.
