Trustee vacancy – Chair – Historic Royal Palaces
24/02/2023 in Trustees
Historic Royal Palaces is a leading independent charity that wants to make deep connections with people through the six sites of national importance in its care. We are seeking a Chair to lead our Board as we pursue a renewed focus on our charitable purpose and the public benefit that we bring.
The Appointment of Chair of the Board is made by His Majesty The King, following the recommendation of the Prime Minister and Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport.
DCMS is committed to eliminating discrimination and advancing equality of opportunity in its public appointments. We particularly encourage applicants from underrepresented groups, those based outside London and the South-East and applicants who have achieved success through non-traditional educational routes. This ensures that boards of public bodies benefit from a full range of diverse perspectives and are representative of the people they serve.
Term of office
Trustees’ appointments are for three years. They may serve second terms, if approved, and have this extended further in exceptional circumstances.
Time commitment
The time commitment is around one day per week (including attendance at events), spread across the year. The main Board meets four times a year (plus one for the accounts if necessary) and there are main sub committees covering Nominations, Finance & Investment, People and Audit & Risk, as well as other committees and working groups, which usually meet two or three times a year and to which the Chair is invited but may not always attend.
Application deadline
11:59pm 10 March 2023
