Turning Lives Around (TLA) is a Leeds-based charity working to prevent homelessness and provide safe, supportive housing for people in need. As we move toward becoming a registered Social Housing Provider, TLA are seeking a new Chair of the Board of Trustees to guide them through this exciting next chapter.
The Chair will provide clear leadership to the Board, ensuring strong governance, accountability, and strategic direction. Working closely with the Chief Executive, the new Chair will support and challenge the organisation to grow its impact, strengthen its housing offer, and build effective external partnerships.
To be successful in your application, you will have:
- Board-level leadership – proven experience chairing a Board or providing senior governance in a complex organisation.
- Strategic vision – a strong track record of shaping and delivering organisational strategy, ideally in housing, charity, or public service.
- Sector understanding – knowledge of housing, homelessness, or commissioned services is highly desirable.
- Governance expertise – good knowledge of charity governance, risk, and financial oversight.
- Personal commitment – alignment with our mission, values, and work supporting people facing homelessness and disadvantage.
