Description
Chair (Voluntary)
Age UK Stockport
Location: Stockport
Commitment: Approximately 20 hours per month
Could you help shape the future of later life in Stockport?
Age UK Stockport is looking for an exceptional individual to become our next Chair.
For 80 years we've supported people in later life across the borough, helping them remain independent, connected and well. Today we're recognised as one of Stockport's leading independent charities, working with local communities, the NHS, Stockport Council and voluntary sector partners to improve lives every day.
As Chair, you'll provide strategic leadership to our Board, work closely with our Chief Executive and represent the charity across the borough and beyond. You'll help shape our future direction while ensuring we continue to make a positive difference for people in later life.
This is a voluntary role offering the chance to make a genuine impact within your community.
We're looking for someone who:
- Has senior leadership, executive or Board-level experience.
- Can provide strategic oversight and good governance.
- Enjoys building partnerships and influencing others.
- Shares our values and commitment to improving later life.
- Has a strong, current personal connection with Stockport.
Whether you live or work here or have been brought up here and still live nearby, you'll understand our communities and want to help shape their future.
Why join us?
Age UK Stockport is an independent charity, governed locally and focused on the needs of Stockport residents. Plus, we're part of a collaboration of eight independent Age UK charities working together across Greater Manchester, aiming to influence regionally to support people in later life.
Previous Chair experience isn't essential. If you have the leadership skills, strategic thinking and passion to help shape the next chapter of Age UK Stockport, we'd love to hear from you.
