Heritage and wildlife charity seeks new chair

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 14 Oct, 07:32 · Archive

The Landguard Charitable Trust is recruiting an independent chair to lead its board and support its business strategy. The charity, based on the Landguard Peninsula at the mouth of the River Orwell next to the Port of Felixstowe, oversees partner organisations across its 46-hectare site.

The site is recognised as a Site of Special Scientific Interest and a key bird migration route. It is home to nearly 500 years of military history, including the Grade I-listed Landguard Fort and the Felixstowe Museum.

A spokesperson for the Landguard partners said the role represents 'a rare opportunity to take forward a regionally significant project, backed by serious partners'. The trust is looking for 'an outward-looking chair with energy, commitment and strong organisational skills, who can act as a proactive networker and effective communicator'.

Applications should include a CV, a covering letter of no more than two A4 pages outlining interest and relevant experience, and two referee contacts, sent by email to Paul Grant, operations manager, at paulgrant@landguardtrust.org.uk.
