A NEW CHAIR OF THE BOARD IS REQUIRED

The charity that enables disabled people to live with greater independence

A great opportunity to join the board of Designability which is a UK charity that enables disabled people to live with greater independence, with a team of designers and engineers who create life-changing assistive products to help disabled people who are facing challenges every day.

Moon Executive Search is delighted to announce that we are the official recruitment partner to appoint a new Chair of the Board for Designability.

Moon Executive Search will play a key role in assisting Designability in this search campaign, utilising their extensive networks and search methodologies. We are looking to source a Chair that will lead the Board and CEO in setting and delivering Designability’s strategic objectives.

The Chair will champion their vision mission and values, and with the support of the Executive team and other Trustees will ensure the charity’s goals are met.

Designability wants products and technology to be more accessible to everyone. The team follows the principles of human-centred design which means that everything that develop is done in response to what people tell them they need. The aim is for people to achieve greater independence and happiness in their lives – goals that benefit all of society.

The Chair will need to have operated at a senior level ideally as an Executive, Non-Exec or Chair, with an empathy and understanding of the challenges faced by disabled people, ideally by having lived experience either personally, or as a family member or carer. 

This role is unremunerated, although travel and other legitimate expenses may be claimed.

To request a candidate briefing pack please contact Sandy Hinks, Head of Charity Practice, at Moon Executive Search by email.
