Opportunities.

The Board, which was formed in November 2016 and which still has all five founding trustees, including the Chair in situ, is seeking three new trustees.

Trustees who can help us to sharpen our thinking, who bring new and diverse voices and who can help us to refine and deliver our plans for shaping the future of Gregynog with a background in:

Finance and Business, to help develop the next stages of our strategic business and operational planning. Ensuring that our financial systems and processes evolve effectively, enabling us to manage our finances with confidence and foresight.

Estate Management, to develop the potential of our very special estate. Part of which is already designated as a SSSI with a distinctive arboretum, and help guide conservation efforts. Ensuring that our buildings, gardens, landscape and woodlands are appropriately used, properly maintained and protected.

Event & Programme Planning, to support the development of culture, learning and the arts at Gregynog. Guiding the development of our cultural and educational programmes, events and experiences to help optimise event planning and attract larger audiences.

We are equally keen to hear from candidates who do not meet these specific criteria but believe they could contribute to our thinking and our future success and resilience.

Working collaboratively with our Chairman to constantly come up with new and creative ways to engage with new brands and strengthen existing relationships, overseeing the annual marketing budget and providing broader strategic planning support to the charity as a member of the senior management team.

As treasurer, you will be responsible for overseeing the financial management of London CLT ensuring that their funds are used effectively, transparently, and in compliance with legal and regulatory requirements.

Responsible for managing the monitoring, processing, reporting and forecasting of London CLT’s finances, and developing new systems and processes as required, to ensure the smooth running of London CLT.

Tasked with the overall management and operation of the Royal Variety Charity’s Care Home, Brinsworth House, and the achievement of an ‘Excellent’ CQC rating.

Tasked with leading our existing team of qualified nursing staff, ensuring CQC regulations are met and that Brinsworth House provides and maintains the highest levels of person-centred care while managing and developing cohesive working relationships within the clinical staff team and working as part of a multi-disciplinary team.

As our Communities Manager you will:

• Support communities in London to develop new genuinely and permanent affordable community led-housing.
• Develop and implement London CLT’s approach to its residents, including allocations, management, resale and stewardship.
• Support local community steering groups throughout the various complex project stages of building homes (campaign engagement, land acquisition, planning, build and allocations), by building relationships, supporting groups and local leaders.
• Coordinate the implementation of London CLT’s social impact strategy.

Heading up, and in collaboration with their Leadership Team, you will:

• Ensure that the voice of young carers and young adult carers is at the heart of the delivery of GYC services.
• Promote awareness of the issues faced by young carers and young adult carers.
• Assume overall responsibility for the delivery and development of the range of services provided by Gloucestershire Young Carers, ensuring quality and performance standards are met.

Their expectations are high. As their new our Chief Executive Officer, you will be expected to:

• Work with an engaged trustee Board and a dedicated office team, many of whom are D/deaf or hard-of-hearing themselves;
• Hold responsibility for the development of our new three-year strategic plan;
• Review, streamline, further develop and deliver our high quality commissioned and grant-funded services; and
• Develop new and stronger partnerships to better support our growth ambitions and the wider D/deaf and hard of hearing community based on their needs today and in the future.

Celebrating D/deaf culture and the community is an essential part of what they do. With D/deaf and hard of hearing people and, in collaboration with others, they innovate and deliver services that D/deaf and hard of hearing people want and need, with all colleagues, trustees, staff and volunteers expected to actively demonstrate and share accountability for their organisational values.

We seek new non-executive Directors with skills, knowledge, and experience appropriate to income generation and trading activity in the hospitality or visitor experience settings to support the growth and development of Gregynog Enterprises.

Directors who will be able to demonstrate independence of thought, diversity of perspective and sensitivity towards the distinctive context of Wales, its rich language and heritage; who meet the role description below and who bring a successful track record of achieving business growth and development, innovation in product and service development and attracting new and more diverse audiences.

They will bring constructive challenge, professional insight and independent judgment to bear on issues of strategy, performance and resourcing, impartiality and objectivity to the decision-making process provide creative and informed contributions to objectives and strategy devised by the executive management team.

Directors of Gregynog Enterprises Ltd also fulfil specific duties and responsibilities for effective governance in terms of the inter-company relationship between Gregynog Enterprises Ltd and the Gregynog Trust, acting at all times in the interests of the success of the company, recognising its relationship to and independence from the Gregynog Trust. An understanding of the relationship between charitable Trusts and Trading subsidiaries would be an advantage, as our new non executive directors will play an important independent role on behalf of Gregynog Enterprises Ltd, as well as a supporting role to Dr. Liz Siberry OBE, the Trustee representative from the Gregynog Trust on the Board of Gregynog Enterprises Ltd.
