We are currently recruiting for the following roles:
We're looking for a new Chair of the Board of Trustees who can work with the CEO and Board to help guide the leadership team to fulfil the building’s potential, as one of the leading independent cultural organisations and community spaces in one of the capital’s busiest and most vibrant areas. We are also embarking on the next stage of our ambitious capital project to make our building more welcoming as well as doing some much needed building maintenance. Our current Chair, Emma Stenning, is stepping down after a successful three-year term, due to her professional commitments in Birmingham.
We are interested in meeting candidates who are keen to champion Shoreditch Town Hall’s values, have a passion for live performance and events and who want to help us safeguard this beautiful building and develop it for future generations. The position of Chair will be expected to ensure good governance and financial controls, help with strategy and foresight, have good networks and be a good leader.
We look forward to hearing about you and we will welcome applications from candidates with experience relevant to our cultural, community, heritage or commercial activity. We hope to find someone who is also experienced in raising income commercially and via grant funding.
Shoreditch Town Hall has recently obtained some restricted funds, to be spent on the building, so we hope that we can find an individual who is able to bring opinion and insight to our future capital plans. As our building is leased from the Council, some experience in dealing with local authorities would also be useful.
