Jobs & Volunteering at Emery Walker’s House
We’re always looking for people to join our friendly team.
VACANCY! Chair of the Emery Walker Trust
​
The Emery Walker Trust owns and opens to the public Emery Walker’s House at 7 Hammersmith Terrace, London, which contains some of the most authentic and best-preserved Arts & Crafts interiors in the United Kingdom. The trustees are inviting applications for the position of Chair to replace Michael Hall FSA, who will step down at the end of 2019.
​
The role principally involves:
o Strategic leadership of a small historic-house museum, its staff and volunteers;
o Chairing meetings of trustees, of which there are five a year, and other meetings on occasion;
o Acting with others as the public face of the Emery Walker Trust, in particular for its fund-raising initiatives.
​
The successful candidate will have a reputation for expertise in some aspect of the Arts & Crafts movement. Experience in managing staff and volunteers and active involvement at trustee level (or equivalent) within the past five years in a relevant organisation in the arts or museums sector are essential. Knowledge of the charity sector and its governance are important, and fundraising and financial skills will be very helpful.
​
The post is unpaid (expenses are reimbursed), and involves on average up to three days work a month in addition to attendance at meetings. The post, which requires reasonable access to London, might attract someone from senior management in the public, private or voluntary sectors.
​
Candidates should submit a letter by email to explaining why they are qualified for the post together with a curriculum vitae and the names of two referees. Trustees are appointed for a term of four years with an option to renew for a further four years. For further information about the Emery Walker Trust, go to .
