Co-Chair

Be a driving force for mental health transformation in North London

Are you a strategic leader with a passion for mental health and social impact? Do you want to help shape the future of a dynamic, values-led charity making a real difference in people's lives?

A charity in Enfield and Barnet is seeking a visionary Co-Chair to join our Board of Trustees and help guide our next chapter of growth and innovation.

About Us

The charity is a leading local mental health charity, proudly affiliated with a national federation but operating independently. Since our merger in 2021, we've grown significantly - supporting over 5,000 people annually through therapy, wellbeing, advocacy, and crisis services. We are Led by Lived Experience, with over 75% of our staff having personal experience of mental health challenges.

The Role

As Co-Chair, you will:

• Provide strategic leadership and governance alongside your fellow Co-Chair
• Champion our mission, values, and new strategy
• Facilitate inclusive, effective board meetings and decision-making
• Support and appraise the CEO
• Represent the charity externally and help build partnerships
• Ensure we remain accountable, equitable, and impactful

You'll work closely with a refreshed, skilled board and a passionate executive team to ensure the charity continues to deliver services that change lives and lead systems change across Enfield and Barnet.

Who We're Looking For

We welcome applications from individuals with:

• Senior-level leadership and governance experience
• Excellent communication, diplomacy, and strategic thinking
• A commitment to equity, inclusion, and lived experience
• A connection to Enfield, Barnet, or the wider North London community

Previous chairing experience is not essential - we'll support you with induction, training, and mentoring.

We especially encourage applications from underrepresented or minoritised groups, in line with our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
