Are you a well-connected leader in Buckinghamshire with the energy and ambition to help a respected local charity grow its impact?

An advice charity in Buckinghamshire is seeking an exceptional individual to become our next Chair of Trustees.

About Us

We are part of a national network, providing free, confidential and impartial advice to thousands of people each year across Buckinghamshire. We have offices in Aylesbury, Buckingham, High Wycombe and Chesham.

Our work helps people resolve problems around debt, housing, employment, benefits and consumer rights, often preventing crises, reducing pressure on public services and enabling individuals to regain stability and independence.

The organisation is stable, well-managed and ambitious. Following reductions in statutory funding and changes across the national network, we are now focused on strengthening income streams, raising our local profile and entering a new phase of growth.

The Opportunity

It is an opportunity to build on strong foundations and take the organisation forward.

As Chair, you will:

  • Provide strategic leadership to the Board of Trustees.
  • Help strengthen funding and sustainability.
  • Raise the profile of the organisation across Buckinghamshire.
  • Represent the organisation with funders, partners and the wider community.
  • Champion the difference we make to people’s lives.

We are particularly interested in candidates who live in, or have strong knowledge and networks within Buckinghamshire (ideally central or south).

Who We’re Looking For

We are seeking someone who brings:

  • Strategic leadership experience (board or senior executive level).
  • The confidence to support and constructively challenge a CEO.
  • Strong networking skills and credibility locally.
  • Commercial awareness and financial literacy.
  • An interest in fundraising and partnership development.
  • A genuine commitment to community impact.

Prior Chair experience is welcome but not essential. Energy, judgement and the ability to build relationships are key.

Time Commitment

  • Four face-to-face Board meetings per year (2 hours each).
  • Four subcommittee meetings per subcommittee annually Finance & Risk, Operations, People, and Fundraising).
  • Annual strategy Away Day.
  • Annual Staff & Volunteers Day.
  • Attendance at selected fundraising and stakeholder events.
  • Approximate commitment: 2 -4 days per month.

Why This Role Matters

This organisation helps people solve problems that, left unaddressed, cost families, councils and government far more in the long term.

As Chair, you will help ensure this essential service continues to thrive, supporting residents to become more financially secure, resilient and able to contribute fully to society.

Closing date: 9am Friday 11 September 2026
