Chair of the Board of Trustees

Join us at The Peace Museum during an exciting time of transformation, as we welcome visitors to our new gallery space within Salt’s Mill, Saltaire – a UNESCO world heritage site. You’ll be a key part in our mission of promoting a peaceful future through the sharing of stories of peace from the past and present.
The Peace Museum is dedicated to telling the histories of peace, peacemakers, social reform and peace movements. It is unique in that it is the only accredited museum of its kind in the UK.

Shape and support the delivery of our vision and objectives, ensure all voices are heard on our Board, and advocate for the museum in local, national and international networks.

We are looking for someone who brings –

• Leadership and management skills – the ability to foster collaboration between all members of the team and optimise the effectiveness of the relationships between trustees, staff and volunteers
• Experience in leading a charity or other not-for-profit organisation through a significant period of growth and change
• Strong business acumen and a highly strategic approach to help facilitate the long-term development of the museum
• Enthusiasm and commitment, with time to dedicate to the role
• Commitment to the values and aims of The Peace Museum, using a collection of objects to tell stories of nonviolence and war resistance
• Knowledge of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion, and commitment to embedding EDI in all aspects of the Museum’s structure and organisation
