Chair of the Board of Trustees – Haemochromatosis UK (HUK)


Do you want to make a lasting impact on the lives of people with genetic haemochromatosis and help drive positive change in healthcare?


Haemochromatosis UK (HUK) is seeking a Chair of the Board of Trustees to provide strategic leadership and ensure the charity continues to deliver its mission of reducing the social injustice experienced by those with genetic haemochromatosis.


About Haemochromatosis UK


HUK is the UK’s leading charity supporting people affected by genetic haemochromatosis, a condition that leads to iron overload. The charity provides education, advocacy, and patient support services, while also promoting genetic testing and screening to save lives.


The Role


As Chair, you will work closely with the Chief Executive and Board of Trustees to provide inspirational leadership, ensuring the charity operates within its governance framework and delivers on its strategic objectives. You will play a pivotal role in shaping the charity’s future direction, promoting its values, and championing its mission.


This is an exciting opportunity to join HUK at a time of growth and transformation, as the charity continues to expand its services and increase its impact.


Key Responsibilities


  • Provide strategic leadership to the Board and ensure effective governance.
  • Act as an ambassador for HUK, developing relationships with key stakeholders.
  • Chair Board meetings, ensuring they are effective and focused on delivering the charity’s objectives.
  • Support and appraise the Chief Executive, developing a strong and collaborative relationship.
  • Lead the Board in regularly reviewing the charity’s risks, opportunities, and financial health.


What We’re Looking For


We are seeking a candidate with:


  • At least three years of experience chairing a Board of Trustees or directors within a voluntary sector organisation.
  • Strong leadership skills and experience operating at a senior strategic level.
  • A successful track record of achievement in their career.
  • A commitment to HUK’s mission, values, and strategic objectives.
  • Excellent interpersonal skills, with the ability to build relationships and foster collaboration.


What You’ll Gain by Joining HUK


  • The opportunity to lead an award-winning charity making a real difference.
  • The chance to use your strategic knowledge to shape the charity’s future.
  • Collaboration with a dedicated team of staff, volunteers, and fellow trustees.
  • A full induction, with ongoing Board development and support.
  • Reimbursement for any travel and accommodation expenses in line with the charity’s policy.


Time Commitment


This is a voluntary role requiring approximately one day per month. The role is primarily remote, with occasional travel for meetings and events. The Board meets quarterly, with some meetings held virtually and others in person.


How to Apply


If you are interested in applying, please reply to this advert with an updated copy of your CV and one of the team will be in touch with a candidate pack that sets out further details of the role, organisation and recruitment process.


Closing Date: 5pm, Wednesday 8th January


By joining HUK, you will be part of a passionate and dynamic organisation committed to improving lives and advancing healthcare. We look forward to hearing from you.
