The role
Greater
Manchester Moving is a leading Greater Manchester charity which exists to
change lives through movement, physical activity and sport. This drives
everything that we do and motivates every single person engaged with our
organisation.
We lead, support and connect people and partners across our brilliant
city-region to enable Active Lives for All, uniting communities and creating
more equal and inclusive places so that people can lead happier, healthier and
more fulfilled lives.
Nationally, we are one of 42 Active
Partnerships. Together, we work to create the conditions for an active
nation. We work closely with Sport England to support the local implementation
of the Uniting
the Movement Strategy.
We are seeking to appoint an exceptional leader to serve as Chair of our
Board. The successful candidate will provide inclusive, values-led leadership
and strategic direction, uphold the highest standards of governance and
financial oversight, and drive the growth of the charity’s value and impact.
As an ambassador and advocate, the Chair will champion the
transformative benefits of movement, physical activity, and sport, foster
strong relationships with partners and stakeholders, and promote equality,
equity, diversity, and inclusion.
The role requires a commitment to nurturing an already high-performing
Board, modelling integrity and accountability, and ensuring the charity
operates in line with its values, regulatory responsibilities, and the Seven
Principles of Public Life (Nolan Principles).
The Chair will work in close partnership with the Chief Executive,
offering support, providing constructive challenge, and holding the executive
leadership to account in delivering the charity’s objectives.
We are an organisation guided by our core
values of passion,
integrity, and purpose. We acknowledge and champion the advantages of a
diverse and inclusive Board, and view enhancing diversity and inclusivity at
the Board level as a vital factor in achieving our goals and objectives.
As an organisation we
believe we should be reflective of the people within our communities and as
such we encourage applications from underrepresented groups who can strengthen
our already talented and committed Board.
If you are seeking a
role that is inspirational, developmental and one which can make a difference
to the lives of people in Greater Manchester, then we would love to hear from
you.
