Could you be the new Chair of Tavistock Relationships and lead the Charity in their next exciting phase of growth?

Applications close at 9 a.m. Monday 18th November.

Who we are.

The Tavistock Institute of Medical Psychology (TIMP), trading at Tavistock Relationships (TR), has been helping individuals, couples and families since 1948, and now provides around 20,000 therapy sessions to individuals and couples every year, online and in person. They are a world-class research, training and policy centre in therapeutic and psycho-educational approaches to supporting couples with significant partnerships across health and education.

They are looking to recruit a Chair of the Board of Trustees, a key role in the organisation. They need a committed leader who believes in Tavistock Relationships’ purpose of developing knowledge and new methods of supporting relationships. Someone who wants to lead TR as they continue to positively influence how interventions to improve couple relationships is delivered to individuals, parents, families and children by encouraging more organisations to recognise the impact and importance of relationships. A leader with the networks, skills, and motivation to support the charity and help it grow in response to the need for its services.

About the role.

The new Chair of Tavistock Relationships will have excellent leadership skills, good communication and interpersonal skills, and a willingness to devote the necessary time and effort to the role and engage with the CEO and other senior management at TR. They will lead the Board and work with the Executive to set the vision, values, mission, strategy and high-level policy in accordance with charity regulations and the governing document of TR. They will also monitor the organisation’s performance against established targets and hold the Executive accountable.

As a charity, TR needs someone with a clear understanding of the Charity Commission’s guidance and recommendations. The new Chair needs board experience, ideally as Chair, and/or to have worked on committees and understand how to fundraise effectively. The Chair also needs to be someone who can operate strategically and navigate them through this period of change, holding fast to the vision and mission and inspiring the wider board and executive team to do the same. They need to understand and oversee, with the rest of the Board, the legal duties, responsibilities, and liabilities of the role.

Tavistock Relationships have an open and inclusive culture, and the Chair needs to act with impartiality, fairness, and the ability to respect confidence. They need to model a willingness to speak their mind with tact and diplomacy and hear and consider the opinions of other Board Members and the wider team of staff. They need to be an ambassador for the organisation with partners, funders, staff and also clients. They will protect and enhance the reputation of TR at events and through the media as a spokesperson.

Who we are looking for

TR is looking for someone who can lead and support their ambitions to have:

  • A stable and sustainable revenue, cost base, and diverse income, independent of government funding.
  • A capacity to carry out successful fundraising to undertake research, develop new methods and influence government policy.
  • A knowledge and practice network of 5,000 professionals in the field and front-line staff.
  • Relationship network of at least 20,000 individuals who care about couple relationships and their work, who will advocate for activity and refer clients.
  • A digital mind to improve and support services and training in a cost-effective and accessible way to a wide range of people.
  • Increasing participation from diverse communities in psychotherapy practice and increasing diversity in our senior leadership and teaching roles.
  • A reputation as a trusted delivery partner, able to influence government policy to ensure couple relationship support is widely accessible.
  • Ensure the lower cost provision of services to workers and residents of the City and neighbouring boroughs and support research and development of new approaches and interventions for the City Wellbeing Centre.
  • An established academic partnership with Birkbeck, which will benefit the organisation and our trainees.
