Job description

Be Enriched, a vibrant South London charity, is seeking an inspirational Chair to lead our Board of Trustees and guide our next phase of strategic growth. 

Since 2013, we have been dedicated to enriching our communities through food. Our work tackles critical issues head-on: alleviating food poverty, combating social isolation, and empowering individuals through practical skills training. We believe in the power of food to bring people together, share knowledge, and cultivate lasting connections. 

As Chair, you will play a pivotal role in steering our ambitious strategy, working closely with an active and committed Board and our dedicated staff team. This is a unique opportunity to leverage your leadership skills to strengthen our impact and ensure the long-term sustainability of our vital community services. 

Essential Qualities 

• Proven experience as a trustee, with a passion for governance and making a difference.  Prior Chair experience is welcome but not required. 
• A keen sense of strategic purpose. 
• An inclusive leadership style. 
• The ability to listen and engage. Comfortable with challenge and debate and can encourage that in others whist fostering a collaborative board environment.  
• Advocate – be able and willing to champion Be Enriched’s work through personal networks, social media, and other channels. 
• A strong personal commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion.  
• Be proactive and responsive – as a small charity, there are times when issues arise that require the Chair's guidance, support, or approval.
