Our current Chair will be stepping down in 2025 and we are looking to recruit a new Chair to lead our board of highly motivated trustees. We’re seeking someone to lead the charity into an exciting new chapter of growth and innovation.
Our 33 historic Almshouses are centrally located in the City of Wells and the Charity traces its origins back to the fifteenth century. In recent years we have undertaken the modernisation of our historic properties and the refurbishment of our Grade 2* listed medieval Chapel.
Looking ahead, we’re eager to expand – whether by creating new almshouses or acquiring properties – to offer even more high quality affordable homes to those in need.
We’re looking for someone who is:
- A proven leader with the confidence to guide a skilled Board
- A strategic thinker capable of steering the charity’s long term direction
- Collaborative in approach valuing collective decision making and dialogue
- Aligned with the values and charitable aims of CWA.
