METRO is recruiting for a new Chair to lead the charity’s voluntary Board of Trustees. The charity is in a period of dynamic change, where we are proactively seeking to become an actively anti-racist organisation. We are working to support changes around EDI issues in several ways, and we are seeking a new Chair who can support this development and has experience of leadership around these issues. The role is currently being held on an interim basis by an existing trustee who is willing to handover when the right recruit is in place.
We want to create an environment in which intersectional identities are valued and represented across the team, especially in our senior roles while fulfilling METRO’s constitutional stipulation for majority LGBTQ+ identifying staff and trustee teams. This intersectionality includes, but is not limited to, people of colour, young people, gay, lesbian, bisexual, trans, non-binary, gender-fluid and gender-diverse people, and people with lived experience of socio-economic inequities.
Applications are being accepted on a rolling basis.
