Chair

Catalyst Support works to promote the mental health and wellbeing of people in Surrey, improving lives in terms of stability and wellbeing, with the aim of reducing harm to themselves, their families and the community. This is achieved through a wide range of projects, many carried out in partnership with other agencies, across the county.

This is an important time for Catalyst Support, having grown significantly in the last five years, with a turnover that now sits at around £5m. Our work is more vital than ever in a world where consideration of our mental health and wellbeing is so important.

Catalyst Support is now seeking a new Chair and Trustee (Finance) as both postholders are retiring at the end of the year. We are seeking individuals who are genuinely committed to the mission and values of the charity.

For the Chair we are seeking a strategic thinker with:

• Proven experience in a leadership or governance role, demonstrating the ability to lead and inspire a diverse group of trustees and stakeholders.
• Experience of chairing and facilitating meetings of a strategic and/or business nature, and monitoring that decisions taken and agreed by others are implemented.

For the Trustee (Finance) we are seeking a financial leader with:

• Proven financial acumen and experience in the for-profit or non-profit sectors, preferably with an understanding of board and committee procedures.
• An accounting/financial qualification.

Catalyst Support is committed to equality and diversity and welcomes applications from all members of the community.
