Following a successful bid to Arts Council England for a further three years of funding (2026 – 29) under our new lead body Super Slow Way Ltd, we are now seeking an Independent Chair to lead and facilitate the work of our Creative People and Places Consortium group – a committed consortium of local partners working collaboratively to guide the strategic direction and governance of the Super Slow Way CPP programme.
The Independent Chair will play a pivotal role in supporting the Consortium partners to work collaboratively, transparently, and effectively, in line with Super Slow Way’s values and the wider aims of Creative People and Places. You’ll help shape our collective vision and ensure good governance, while championing the voice of our communities at every level. This is not a trustee role but you’ll be a trusted facilitator and strategic guide, ensuring that the Consortium group remains accountable to its purpose and the people it serves.
This is a voluntary role which we hope will be appointed for an initial 3 year period with an option to review after the first 12 months. We expect the role will need about 1 day per month of your time, all expenses will be covered and we know you will gain a lot of professional satisfaction from playing such a key role in helping to deliver our ambitious programme here in East Lancashire.
