Job Summary

We are seeking people with HR or fundraising experience, or are a practising dance artist, and are passionate about arts and culture, to join our Charity Board of Trustees. We welcome board members from a range of backgrounds, knowledge and skills so that we have as diverse a Board as possible.

Job Description

What are we looking for?

Commitment to the work and the values of Pavilion Dance (to be kind, inclusive, innovative and empowering)

The drive to be our critical friend; question & use your voice - we want to know what you think and this will help us develop and thrive as an organisation.

Good independent judgement

The ability to work as a member of a team and a willingness to state personal convictions

A willingness to accept a majority decision and be tolerant of the views of other people

A preparedness to offer personal and professional skills and experience to support the staff

A Commitment to Nolan's seven principles of public life: selflessness, integrity, objectivity, accountability, openness, honesty and leadership

You don't need to have had previous Board/Leadership experience as we will provide induction and support. As a charity and a limited company, board members are both non-executive directors and trustees. Board membership is a voluntary position. Expenses, such as your travel costs, can be reimbursed.

Pavilion Dance South West is an Equal Opportunities and Disability Confident Employer

Job Requirements

Terms of appointment and expectations:

The appointment will be made initially for three years with the opportunity to be re-elected for a maximum of two further three-year terms.

Minimum Time commitment:

Attendance at 4 Board meetings a year (usually 2.5 hours long & held 4-6.30pm on Thursdays at Pavilion Dance, Bournemouth or on Teams)

Up to 3 hours to read the Board papers in advance of each meeting

Attendance at 1 Board Away Day each year (usually 11am-4pm on a weekday in September and held in person at Pavilion Dance)

Attendance at least one or two Pavilion Dance events each year so you experience our work

If you are interested in being a Board member but are not sure about the minimum 3 years commitment, it is worth talking this through with the Executive Director to see if an alternative approach could make it more feasible.
