The KSAAS Trustee Board

Moneyfacts Research Foundation (Charity No 1211382) is looking for its next Chair of the Board of Trustees. It is supported and financed by Moneyfacts Group plc, the UK’s leading provider of Interest rate data.

Moneyfacts Research Foundation has been set up to widen research and knowledge of Interest rates – their use and effects.

Moneyfacts Research Foundation’s Objects are:

• To advance by all available means the education, research and understanding of economics and, in particular, interest rates, their use and purpose and their economic, monetary and domestic objectives and consequences
• The study of the skills and expertise required in interest rate setting, data collection and analysis

Chair Duties

The Chair is expected to:

•  Lead and support the Board of Trustees
• Help us to continue in the direction set by our current Chair
• Represent Moneyfacts Research Foundation externally and help build strategic relationships
• Use their knowledge and experience to help the board reach sound decisions.
• Attend Board meetings 3-4 times a year, adequately prepared to contribute to discussions and scrutinise board papers.

Person Specification

We are looking for a leader with:

• Previous experience as a Chair of a charity or Senior Trustee
• Previous experience at board level in the finance sector
• Background in banking and finance with a strong network of contacts in the sector
• Knowledge and understanding of the role of the Bank of England in UK monetary policy
• Ability to lead creatively and strategically
• Ability to work collaboratively as a board member.
• Excellent communication skills
• A commitment to our charity objects.

Terms of Appointment

• This is an appointment for an initial period of two years.
• This has to be an unpaid voluntary position because it is a charity, but all reasonable expenses will be reimbursed.
• Attend Board meetings 3-4 times a year. Currently meetings are held in person in Norwich.

The Charity’s main activity is the publication of INTEREST, a journal which comes out every 6 weeks to coincide with Bank of England Monetary Policy Committee meetings. 

Our Chair plays a vital role in making sure that Possible achieves its core purpose. They provide leadership and direction to the board of trustees, enabling effective governance of the charity, and they closely manage the Director team to support—and challenge—them to achieve their vision for the organisation.

Possible is about to embark on its next phase as an organisation with the implementation of its new four year organisational strategy. This is a really exciting, important time to join the team in such a pivotal role, and have a real impact on the successful delivery of this work.

As our new Chair, you’ll lead the team of trustees, ensuring they provide on-going strategic direction, critical challenge and helping hands to ensure we continue to land our work with the size of impact the climate crisis demands. You’ll also work closely with Possible’s Co-Directors, offering more detailed support and oversight. We currently have a team of two Co-Directors, rather than one ED, but appoint one as a Lead Director on a rotating basis to lead liaison with the board.

We are looking for someone with prior experience of serving on a charity board and demonstrable leadership experience. However, you do not need experience of being a Chair if it is clear that you are ready to step up, and you do not need experience working in the climate sector, either, although we are looking for someone with knowledge of it.

Use your expertise to shape education, influence communities, and grow as a leader 

Roles available at colleges across Shipley

Are you a business leader or corporate professional looking to make a meaningful impact in your community? 

By becoming a volunteer governor at a further education (FE) or sixth form college, you’ll help shape the strategic direction of an organisation that transforms lives through education and skills; all while strengthening your own governance experience and leadership credentials. 

Why it’s relevant to professionals like you 

Further education colleges train over 1.6 million learners annually, preparing the skilled workforce that keeps our economy moving – from engineers and IT specialists to healthcare professionals and construction experts. 

As a college governor, you’ll sit on the board of an FE institution (and registered charity), where your insight into strategy, risk, people, or finance will have a direct impact on how public funds are spent, how performance is measured, and how learners are supported to succeed. 

This is an opportunity to: 

• Apply your corporate skills in a leadership role 

• Gain board-level experience and enhance your CV 

• Contribute to local economic growth and social mobility 

• Support a vital sector during a time of transformation 

What will you be doing? 

As part of a governing board, you’ll: 

• Set strategic direction, helping to define the college’s mission and goals 

• Hold leadership to account, monitoring finances, performance, and outcomes 

• Ensure governance excellence, making decisions in the best interests of learners and stakeholders 

• Act as a charity trustee, ensuring financial sustainability and legal compliance 

You’ll also engage with senior leaders and external stakeholders, including local employers, regulators, and community partners. 

Who are we looking for? 

We welcome professionals from a broad range of sectors, including but not limited to: 

• Finance, Audit & Risk 

• HR, People & Culture 

• Strategy, Transformation & Operations 

• Technology, AI & Digital 

• Legal, Governance & Compliance 

• Marketing, PR & Communications 

• Education, apprenticeships, or vocational courses 

What matters most is your strategic thinking, commercial awareness, and commitment to helping others succeed. 

Prior education experience is not required. Full induction and training are provided, with access to DfE-funded development and peer mentoring where needed. 

Time commitment 

Expect to give approximately 1–2 days per month, including: 

• Attending board and committee meetings (in person or remote) 

• Reading papers and preparing questions 

• Participating in training and occasional college visits 

The time commitment is manageable alongside a full-time role – and many employers actively support staff to take on governance roles as part of their professional development. 

Where you’ll be needed 

Some colleges offer remote governance and meetings take place online. This may suit you best, or we may suggest a role where you volunteer on a hybrid basis at a college within a reasonable distance from you. We are recruiting governors for colleges across England, with new opportunities added regularly. 

What’s in it for you? 

This role offers the opportunity to: 

• Enhance your board-level and governance experience 

• Develop strategic oversight and leadership outside your day-to-day role 

• Expand your professional network 

• Give back in a way that creates long-term, measurable impact 

About Boards for Education 

Boards for Education is a charity that sources and supports volunteers for governing boards. We aim to improve educational outcomes for children, young people, and adult learners by strengthening governance across the education sector. 

With more than 25 years’ experience and a national network of partners, we connect schools, academy trusts, colleges, and education charities across England and Wales with skilled, independent volunteers. 

Ready to step into a strategic, purpose-driven leadership role? 

If you’re ready to bring your corporate insight into the education sector and help shape the future of skills, opportunity, and social mobility—we’d love to hear from you.

Phases Social Enterprise is developing a project (‘SusBright’) to inspire more people in Brighton & Hove to make sustainable choices. The initial stage of the project has been the development of an App, which straddles the worlds of consumerism, citizenship and activism.

The App is nearing the end of the development phase and we need someone to help with the final stages of content creation and collation. This will include contact with local businesses and uploading and editing of content on Wordpress. The successful applicant will also be involved in the next stage of the project: building a network of sustainability-focused organisations across Brighton.

This is an opportunity to be involved, from an early stage, in the evolution of an exciting and innovative new project. The successful applicant will experience the development of a non-profit app from the inside and come into contact with a range of other businesses and organisations in the Brighton sustainability sector. They will also be ideally placed to apply for future paid roles as they arise within this project.

Hours can be flexible and subject to discussion. We will probably look for a minimum of one day a week.
