Creative Access board chair and non-executive directors

Creative Access is looking for a Chair and up to three non-executive directors to join our board. Use your skills and networks to make a genuine difference to the challenges of diversity, inclusion and social mobility in the creative economy by working with a purpose-driven organisation, already driving sector wide impact today and with the opportunity to make a bigger impact as we grow and evolve.

This is a pivotal moment for Creative Access. As we approach our 15th anniversary, we’re growing fast, delivering the Discover Creative Careers programme and building on more than a decade of work opening up the creative industries to people from under-represented backgrounds. We’re now looking for a new Chair and up to three non-executive directors to help shape what comes next. We’d also welcome interest from candidates who’d like to be considered for the Deputy Chair role.

The organisation itself is evolving too. Alongside our established earned-income services and partnerships with employers across the creative economy, we are increasingly delivering large-scale, publicly funded programmes, including our role as a consortium partner to the new three-year Discover Creative Careers programme. This brings both significant opportunity and a new level of scale, partnership working and accountability. Our next Board will help us navigate that growth while maintaining strong financial stewardship, good governance and our focus on measurable social impact.

The board supports the strategic vision and leadership of Creative Access and makes sure we deliver on our mission. Non-executive directors are key ambassadors for Creative Access, promoting our work, championing best practice and contributing to the good governance of the organisation. We expect the role to take around half a day a month, with the Chair role requiring a little more.
