We are looking for a Chairperson who can help us lead Board of Trustees and the charity to ensure that people living with brain injury in Surrey reach their maximum potential and recovery.

Someone in the UK will be admitted to hospital every 90 seconds with a brain injury. 

Brain injury is indiscriminate, it is sudden and devastating for an individual and those around them. There are no ‘typical’ clients – we support people over the age of 18 in Surrey who have brain injuries.  If we have space we will accept some people from outside the borders of Surrey.  Brain injury can happen to anyone, from any background, ethnicity, religion, gender etc.

Brain injury can be traumatic or acquired brain injury, more commonly known as TBI or ABI (ABI tends to incorporate TBI as well).   Some examples of brain injury cause are stroke, road traffic incident (as pedestrians, cyclists, motorbikes, cars, vans, lorries etc), trips, falls, sports injury (eg. cycling, skateboarding, jogging, boxing, rugby, horse riding, skiing, climbing), assault, combat, domestic violence, work accidents, falling objects (high winds, construction industry), hypoxia (lack of oxygen), brain tumour, aneurysm, encephalitis, meningitis and other viruses that attack the brain.

Specialist Rehabilitation Coordinators with Accredited Certificates in Brain Injury Studies from Northampton University and Brain Tree Training provide a range of services to enable us to deliver sessions to aid the development of new neural pathways to enable those with brain injury to live well, re-learn skills, live independently and to their best ability.

We encourage students studying speech and language, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, psychiatry and neurology to volunteer with us. Which offers a 2-way learning opportunity.   We offer holiday work experience to a limited number of 6 form students who are interest in the brain injury area of work.  We offer a full range of volunteering opportunities for adults from all walks of life.

Background about Headway Surrey

Operating from a ground floor custom built, fully accessible Centre, called Headway House, at 21 North Road, Stoughton, Guildford, GU2 9PU we provide a comprehensive range of services.

We support adults with acquired and traumatic brain injury (ABI & TBI (more commonly combined as ABI)) to live well with their brain injury and optimise their cognitive rehabilitation recovery.  We support ABI survivors to become independent, re-skill and re-enable them to their maximum level.

We support families, carers, employers and others connected with the survivor with education, advice and support.  We raise awareness of brain injury and our services with the general public.

Headway Surrey is an independent registered charity and company limited by guarantee established in 1985, becoming a registered charity in 1995.  It is an independent charity with an affiliation to Headway UK, the national brain injury association, which enables us to use the Headway Logo and to tap into the resources of the other groups and branches throughout the UK and Ireland.

  • Accountability – being held to account for the actions of the charity and holding those who carry out the work to account. Ensuring that the charity and its representatives’ function within the legal and regulatory framework of the sector and in line with the organisations’ governing document, continually striving for best practice in governance.
  • Safeguard assets – acting as custodian of the assets, tangible (money, etc) and intangible (organisation’s reputation and name), ensuring that assets are used appropriately and constitutionally. Ensuring that there are sufficient assets for the organisation’s survival. Upholding the fiduciary duty to maintain sound financial management of the charity’s resources, undertaking such duties in a way continually striving for best practice in governance that adds to public confidence and trust in the charity.
  • Promoting and developing the charity in order for it to grow and maintain its relevance to society.

  • Supporting staff in securing funding and enabling Headway Surrey to meet its aims within the constraints on resources.

Specific Role

  1. Strategy – big picture, direction, and values
  • work with the Joint CEOs to ensure that HS has a 3–5-year business strategy in place, has current values, and that all work programmes tie into the strategic direction of the charity.
  • Oversea the organisational policies and ensure they are updated regularly.
  • Review goals, targets and evaluation of performance against agreed targets.
  • Liaise regularly with the Treasurer to maintain a clear grasp of the charity’s financial position and to ensure full and timely financial transparency and information disclosure to the Board.
  • Attend and be a member of other committees or working groups when appropriate in role as Chair e.g. Financial Committee.
  1. Backstop – when the unexpected happens
  • In conjunction with Trustees, responsible for making arrangements to deal with emergency situations e.g. where restructuring is required, where long-term staff sickness is an issue or where a disciplinary situation arises. The Chairman’s role in these types of situation is to support the Board and Joint CEOs in making decisions. A Chair’s key role is to pick up the pieces when, for whatever reason, things go wrong.
  1. Pre-digester & Sounding board – for ideas and developments
  • Plan and prepare the Board meetings and AGM with Joint CEOs as appropriate.
  • Be available to Joint CEOs to discuss and refine ideas and developments that staff are thinking about and to give feedback, support and wise counsel at an early stage.
  1. Scrutineer in chief – help the board hold staff to account
  • Part of the nitty-gritty of board work is to hold staff to account – are they doing what they said they would do? – What is going right? What is going wrong? What plans are being made for things that might go wrong? Many boards have a wealth of wisdom, and it is part of the Chair’s job to try and harness that wisdom to improve the plans and activities of the organisation. Even the most qualified of boards may be unable to predict what might go wrong or put plans back on track. Spotting problems early and acting on them early is a key part of the scrutiny process.
  • Support the Joint CEOs to ensure that Headway Surrey workstreams are adequately resourced and managed, are in line with the strategic direction, and are producing measurable results.
  • Hold the Board to account – it is the Chairman’s role to ensure that the work of the Board is supporting the general direction of travel of the charity and not hindering progress, or adding unnecessarily to the charity’s workload – so whilst scrutiny is vital, it must be proportionate and pragmatic, bearing in mind the level of risk, the need to maintain smooth operations of the charity and the level of resource available to the charity. The Chairman must also ensure that the Board is, wherever possible, focusing at the strategic rather than the operational level.
  1. Gracious host – and thanker in chief
  • One of the most important jobs is to thank everybody who makes things happen: thanking departing trustees, senior staff and donors. Thanking people for their time, their money, their commitment, their loyalty, and their energy is a small yet critical part of what makes charities thrive.
  • To attend HS events where required or support other Trustees to attend and represent the charity.
  • Lead the Board in fostering relations with existing and potential partners, professional bodies and associations, donors and supporters.
  1. Manager of the Joint CEOs
  • A Chair’s job is to agree on objectives, provide feedback (from the board and staff) and review progress of the Joint CEOs.
  • In participation with the board, appoint the CEO/CEOs and lead the process of appraising and constructively guiding the performance of the Joint CEOs.
  • Receive regular informal progress reports of the organisation’s work and financial performance through the Joint CEOs.
  1. Manager of the board – utilising roles and skills
  • One of the most difficult parts of being a Chair is to keep all trustees fully engaged and their skills used to the full. A portfolio approach, giving trustees a particular role or part of the organisation to take interest in, is really important to this end.
  • Ensure that the Trustee Code of Conduct is adhered to, and when issues arise to intervene and act in a timely manner.
  • With the Joint CEOs’ support, monitor Trustee attendance and engagement, and carry out regular reviews.
  • Annually review the Board structure, role, staff relationships and ensure implementation of agreed changes/developments are carried out.
  • Create a strong, profitable and fulfilling working relationship with Trustees and the Joint CEOs through review and self-reflective evaluation of contributions and effectiveness of the Board.
  1. Nudger/nagger – for trustees and staff
  • Through meeting notes, text messages, emails, phone calls, personal conversations, the Chair needs to make sure that staff and Trustees do what they said they would do. This applies whether it was to visit a service, write up a proposal, produce some data, or come to a meeting.
  1. Meeting maestro – on time and inclusive

Chair Board meetings ensuring:

  • Approval of the annual cycle of the board meetings.
  • Agenda is followed
  • A balance is struck between timekeeping and space for discussions.
  • Business is dealt with and decisions made.
  • Decisions, actions and deliberations are adequately minuted.
  • The implementation of decisions is clearly assigned and monitored.
  • Ensure individuals do not dominate the discussions and that all Trustees feel involved in and engaged with decisions.
  1. Ear to the ground – to find out what everybody thinks
  • Ensure that the Board is receiving an adequate overview of operations – seeking input from other staff and volunteers, not just the Joint CEOs.

 Tough decision-maker – when required

 On occasions, a Chair’s job is to usher people out of the organisation. This may include making arrangements in regard to the Joint CEOs, but also includes ensuring that term limits for Trustees are kept or restructuring committees to lose a poor committee chair.

  • Act as final stage adjudicator for disciplinary and grievance procedures if required.
  • Facilitate change and address conflict within the Board of Trustees, within the organisation and liaise with the Joint CEOs to achieve this.
  • Undertake review of external complaints as defined by the organisation’s complaints procedure.
  1. Cat-herder – moving boards forward on important decisions

 One of the roles of the chair is to try and move the Board forward on big or important or difficult decisions, particularly where there isn’t consensus. These might be about the appointment of a new CEO, a change of structure, or a new strategy or a rebrand. Boards don’t always find decision-making that easy, particularly in a culture when one or two board members disagreeing can be treated like a veto. The Chair is there to firmly guide the board towards a decision.

  1. Ensure that a successor is found before the term of office finishes.

Headway Surrey is a Registered Charity (Number 1046863) and Company Limited by Guarantee (Number 02991672) and Trustees are therefore governed by both Charity and Company regulations but have a limited liability of £1.

Ensuring that the charity and its representatives’ function within the legal and regulatory framework of the sector and in line with the organisations’ governing document, continually striving for best practice in governance.
  • Safeguard assets – acting as custodian of the assets, tangible (money, etc) and intangible (organisation’s reputation and name), ensuring that assets are used appropriately and constitutionally. Ensuring that there are sufficient assets for the organisation’s survival. Upholding the fiduciary duty to maintain sound financial management of the charity’s resources, undertaking such duties in a way continually striving for best practice in governance that adds to public confidence and trust in the charity.

Specific Role

  1. Strategy – big picture, direction, and values
  • work with the Joint CEOs to ensure that HS has a 3–5-year business strategy in place, has current values, and that all work programmes tie into the strategic direction of the charity.
  • Oversea the organisational policies and ensure they are updated regularly.
  • Review goals, targets and evaluation of performance against agreed targets.
  • Liaise regularly with the Treasurer to maintain a clear grasp of the charity’s financial position and to ensure full and timely financial transparency and information disclosure to the Board.
  • Attend and be a member of other committees or working groups when appropriate in role as Chair e.g. Financial Committee.
  1. Backstop – when the unexpected happens
  • In conjunction with Trustees, responsible for making arrangements to deal with emergency situations e.g. where restructuring is required, where long-term staff sickness is an issue or where a disciplinary situation arises. The Chairman’s role in these types of situation is to support the Board and Joint CEOs in making decisions. A Chair’s key role is to pick up the pieces when, for whatever reason, things go wrong.
  1. Pre-digester & Sounding board – for ideas and developments
  • Plan and prepare the Board meetings and AGM with Joint CEOs as appropriate.
  • Be available to Joint CEOs to discuss and refine ideas and developments that staff are thinking about and to give feedback, support and wise counsel at an early stage.
  1. Scrutineer in chief – help the board hold staff to account
  • Part of the nitty-gritty of board work is to hold staff to account – are they doing what they said they would do? – What is going right? What is going wrong? What plans are being made for things that might go wrong? Many boards have a wealth of wisdom, and it is part of the Chair’s job to try and harness that wisdom to improve the plans and activities of the organisation. Even the most qualified of boards may be unable to predict what might go wrong or put plans back on track. Spotting problems early and acting on them early is a key part of the scrutiny process.
  • Support the Joint CEOs to ensure that Headway Surrey workstreams are adequately resourced and managed, are in line with the strategic direction, and are producing measurable results.
  • Hold the Board to account – it is the Chairman’s role to ensure that the work of the Board is supporting the general direction of travel of the charity and not hindering progress, or adding unnecessarily to the charity’s workload – so whilst scrutiny is vital, it must be proportionate and pragmatic, bearing in mind the level of risk, the need to maintain smooth operations of the charity and the level of resource available to the charity. The Chairman must also ensure that the Board is, wherever possible, focusing at the strategic rather than the operational level.
  1. Gracious host – and thanker in chief
  • One of the most important jobs is to thank everybody who makes things happen: thanking departing trustees, senior staff and donors. Thanking people for their time, their money, their commitment, their loyalty, and their energy is a small yet critical part of what makes charities thrive.
  • To attend HS events where required or support other Trustees to attend and represent the charity.
  • Lead the Board in fostering relations with existing and potential partners, professional bodies and associations, donors and supporters.
  1. Manager of the Joint CEOs
  • A Chair’s job is to agree on objectives, provide feedback (from the board and staff) and review progress of the Joint CEOs.
  • In participation with the board, appoint the CEO/CEOs and lead the process of appraising and constructively guiding the performance of the Joint CEOs.
  • Receive regular informal progress reports of the organisation’s work and financial performance through the Joint CEOs.
  1. Manager of the board – utilising roles and skills
  • One of the most difficult parts of being a Chair is to keep all trustees fully engaged and their skills used to the full. A portfolio approach, giving trustees a particular role or part of the organisation to take interest in, is really important to this end.
  • Ensure that the Trustee Code of Conduct is adhered to, and when issues arise to intervene and act in a timely manner.
  • With the Joint CEOs’ support, monitor Trustee attendance and engagement, and carry out regular reviews.
  • Annually review the Board structure, role, staff relationships and ensure implementation of agreed changes/developments are carried out.
  • Create a strong, profitable and fulfilling working relationship with Trustees and the Joint CEOs through review and self-reflective evaluation of contributions and effectiveness of the Board.
  1. Nudger/nagger – for trustees and staff
  • Through meeting notes, text messages, emails, phone calls, personal conversations, the Chair needs to make sure that staff and Trustees do what they said they would do. This applies whether it was to visit a service, write up a proposal, produce some data, or come to a meeting.
  1. Meeting maestro – on time and inclusive

Chair Board meetings ensuring:

  • Approval of the annual cycle of the board meetings.
  • Agenda is followed
  • A balance is struck between timekeeping and space for discussions.
  • Business is dealt with and decisions made.
  • Decisions, actions and deliberations are adequately minuted.
  • The implementation of decisions is clearly assigned and monitored.
  • Ensure individuals do not dominate the discussions and that all Trustees feel involved in and engaged with decisions.
  1. Ear to the ground – to find out what everybody thinks
  • Ensure that the Board is receiving an adequate overview of operations – seeking input from other staff and volunteers, not just the Joint CEOs.

 Tough decision-maker – when required

 On occasions, a Chair’s job is to usher people out of the organisation. This may include making arrangements in regard to the Joint CEOs, but also includes ensuring that term limits for Trustees are kept or restructuring committees to lose a poor committee chair.

  • Act as final stage adjudicator for disciplinary and grievance procedures if required.
  • Facilitate change and address conflict within the Board of Trustees, within the organisation and liaise with the Joint CEOs to achieve this.
  • Undertake review of external complaints as defined by the organisation’s complaints procedure.
  1. Cat-herder – moving boards forward on important decisions

 One of the roles of the chair is to try and move the Board forward on big or important or difficult decisions, particularly where there isn’t consensus. These might be about the appointment of a new CEO, a change of structure, or a new strategy or a rebrand. Boards don’t always find decision-making that easy, particularly in a culture when one or two board members disagreeing can be treated like a veto. The Chair is there to firmly guide the board towards a decision.

  1. Ensure that a successor is found before the term of office finishes.

Headway Surrey is a Registered Charity (Number 1046863) and Company Limited by Guarantee (Number 02991672) and Trustees are therefore governed by both Charity and Company regulations but have a limited liability of £1.

Description:

His Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service.

An extraordinary job. Done by someone like you.

Prison officer opportunities

HMP Feltham

£36,363 – £40,697

Prison officers protect the public and help to make a positive impact on people’s lives.

If you have the integrity, skills and strength of character we’re looking for, this fast-paced role could be the start of a successful career. No two days or situations are ever the same. And, as you gain experience, you’ll find a range of opportunities to grow and develop into.

Someone like you

There’s no such thing as a typical prison officer. Our people come from different walks of life, just like the offenders they work with. Whether you’re a parent, a teacher, have worked in retail or the armed forces, you’ll have developed the empathy, self-confidence and great communication skills we expect.

No matter the challenge, you’ll take the time to build constructive, positive and professional relationships with offenders who could be at the lowest point in their lives.

Teamwork plays a vital role in this environment, so you’ll need to be fully committed to supporting your colleagues and understand the importance of acting as one team to keep the prison, offenders and everyone who works here safe.

You will be required to work various shifts and weekends.

An extraordinary job

In this unique career, you’ll have the opportunity to carry out many different roles in any one day. One minute you’re a peacekeeper, the next you’re a counsellor or a teacher. You’ll work directly with prisoners in a unique environment, helping to protect the public and make a positive impact.

What you can expect from us

You’ll be given great training and opportunities for progression and development – including the chance to specialise in different areas.

There’s a good salary to look forward to, as well as 25 days’ holiday allowance each year, childcare vouchers, season ticket loans, retail discounts, Employee Assistance Programme and Cycle to Work scheme.

The rewards aren’t all you’ll gain from a role in the prison service. There’s the sense of achievement you feel when you’ve helped an offender to get their life back on track – the kind of experience you simply won’t find anywhere else.

What you’ll do

20 hours per week

Woking Kestrel Way

You’ll be the face of Toolstation, making a fantastic first impression, building long-lasting relationships and going above and beyond to make our customers happy. This isn’t your average retail role. It’s much more than just a store job. Of course, you’ll serve customers, but you’ll also be checking deliveries, picking items from the warehouse and stocking shelves. And it can be hot in the summer and cold in the winter. But if you take real pride in what you do, our customers will notice and love us all the more for it.

Day-to-day

Mucking in. Checking and unpacking deliveries, stocking shelves, cleaning the branch and putting orders together.

Delivering great service. Providing a great customer experience with a smile on your face – no matter how busy you are.

Asking questions and building relationships. Making sure our customers leave the store with everything that they need for the job.

Building a fun working environment. Maintaining our great product availability and high store standards, while making sure that your branch is somewhere everyone loves coming to work.

What you’ll bring

Hard work and passion. You don’t need retail experience. Just be focused on delivering great service and we’ll teach you the rest.

A love of team work. Be happy to muck in and get your hands dirty.

A positive attitude. Make sure that our customers have a great experience while in our branch.

Reliability. Be there when we need you, be flexible and fun to be around.

Yourself. Bring your whole self to work and let your true personality shine through.

What you’ll get

You’ll find every opportunity to be yourself and to bring your personality and potential to work plus so many more opportunities to take your career in retail wherever you want – up the ladder, across the business or into another role in the Travis Perkins Group. And because we want to do our best for you, you’ll be supported all the way with training and development – including access to our very own Toolstation Academy programmes.

Plus, you’ll receive some of the best benefits in retail. So, as well as 22 days’ holidays + Bank Holidays, company pension scheme and life assurance, we offer a bonus scheme, cycle to work scheme, save and buy as you earn, 20% discounts across all Travis Perkins companies, financial education and support, recognition awards and discounts at over 1000 other retailers.

Toolstation. The story so far.

We’re one of Britain’s fastest growing multi-channel retailers of tools, accessories and building supplies and an integral part of Travis Perkins plc. The trade, home improvers and self-builders all trust us to deliver a lot more than tools. Our store expansion programme and the size and diversity of our Group, means we always have opportunities for ambitious people who want to grow with us.
