Job Summary

We're seeking a dynamic, relational Chair or Co-Chairs to lead the Board of Chapter, a radical international cultural hub and civic space at the heart of Cardiff.

Job Description

About the role
We're currently seeking an experienced and visionary leader to succeed our outgoing Chair and guide the Board of Trustees through a period of transformational change.

This is a pivotal moment to join an organisation that welcomes approximately half a million visitors annually and commissions thought-provoking multidisciplinary art that challenges the status quo.

The Chair/Co-Chairs will provide critical non-executive leadership, ensuring that strategic decisions align with our core values of equity, radical thought and experimentation.

This role is an opportunity to steer and support a prestigious organisation during a time of both challenge and immense creative potential.

Help us reimagine our future and foster a safe, convivial space for everyone to dream and practice new futures together.

Job Requirements

About Chapter
Founded by artists and writers over five decades ago, Chapter remains a vital catalyst for creativity and critical thinking in Wales. We're a multidisciplinary cultural centre featuring a contemporary gallery, two cinemas, two theatres, a caf bar, over 50 artists' studios, community spaces and a vibrant garden.

Our building is a bustling civic hub, alive from early morning until late at night with people visiting free exhibitions, attending workshops, watching a film or performance, or simply connecting over a cup of tea.

Our ethos is rooted in prioritising social and cultural equity through a collaborative approach. We advocate for artists and communities as 'world builders', ensuring our programme is informed by the 'needs of now'.

We're proud to be the lead organisation for Film Hub Wales and a Real Living Wage Employer, managing a group turnover of approximately £3.5 million.

Job Responsibilities

Who we are looking for
You will have a high level of personal integrity and a brave approach to social justice.

We're looking for an individual deeply passionate about the power of art to build community cohesion and who believes that social justice should be central to all organisational practice.

Whether you have an established background in the creative, public, or charity sectors, your ability to leverage personal networks for the collective benefit of the organisation will be essential.

Additionally, you will have strong financial and commercial acumen with the ability to manage risk and liability, alongside an understanding of charity governance and legal duties.

Applications are particularly welcome from those who are D/deaf, disabled, neurodiverse, LGBTQIA+, or from Global Majority backgrounds.
