Who we are

NPHT was established in 2015 to protect, care for and share British Paralympic Heritage, as the birthplace of the International Paralympic Games and to use its collection to celebrate achievement and challenge negative attitudes towards disability.


The role

Inclusivity sits at the heart of our organisation and through our Equality and Diversity Policy we are striving for a diverse Board of Trustees.

We are seeking two roles, a Chair of Trustees and an Independent Trustee and are specifically looking to encourage candidates with disabilities, neurodivergence, those from black and minority ethnic groups to apply, and local community representatives, with skills and experience in one (or more) of the following areas:

Lived experience of special educational needs, disability and diversity

Leadership/Chairing trusts

Financial Leadership understanding and experience in budgeting, cashflow and accounts

Income generation with a particular focus on building commercial partnerships or fundraising.

Understanding of the education sector to inform our engagement and learning work.

Understanding of and or experience in the disability sports sector

Experience of working in heritage and collections management, and participatory practice

Strong knowledge of Buckinghamshire communities

A track record of leadership and operating at Board level in the private, public or voluntary sector is helpful but not essential. You might for example have a particular skill set but not Board experience and we can provide Board training.

We implement the Guaranteed Interview Scheme for Disabled People.  This means we will guarantee to interview all applicants who both declare their disability and meet the essential criteria.
