Job Summary
Job Description
Are you…
- passionate about new writing in theatre?
- keen to use your expertise and networks to support theatre and creativity in the East of England and beyond?
- interested in giving your governance experience to a small-scale arts charity?
HighTide is looking for a new Chair of the Board to support the mission of the company. We will be shortlisting individuals with charity or other governance capability and experience – but previous Chair experience is not necessary. As an East of England-based organisation, we are particularly keen to hear from applicants based in, or meaningfully connected to the region.
The HighTide Board is currently chaired by Tim Clark (former Senior Partner, Slaughter and May). Tim is retiring from the Board in November 2024, having served his full two terms.
Each applicant will bring a unique range of skills and experience and we encourage people from all backgrounds to apply. HighTide is committed to equality, equity and diversity. We welcome interest from applicants with backgrounds which are historically underrepresented in the arts – such as those who have experienced barriers due to their working-class origins; are from the global majority; or who identify as d/Deaf or disabled.
Job Requirements
Terms and Expectations
- There are four board meetings per year, attended where possible in person but with digital provision for those with access needs. Board meetings take place in a mixture of locations in the East of England and London.
- There is also one annual Board Away Day to support strategic planning.
- The Chair would be expected to join the Finance & Audit Committee, attending four additional meetings per year, held online.
- The role is an unpaid, voluntary position.
- Travel expenses to meetings will be provided, where appropriate.
- The Chair is expected to attend HighTide performances, programmes, and fundraising events.
The position will be a five year term, with the option to extend for a further three years .
