Trustee of The Brangwyn Trust

Trustee of The Brangwyn Trust, The William Morris Gallery

The William Morris Gallery is owned and operated by Waltham Forest Council.  The Gallery is a significant cultural venue in Waltham Forest, working with local artists and London partners to create high-quality exhibitions and programmes for local residents and visitors from further afield.   The gallery is now looking to reshape its offer and build on the impact and learning from the Mayor’s first London Borough of Culture in 2019.   This is now even more essential due to the on-going impacts, restrictions and emerging opportunities brought about by the COVID 19 pandemic.

 

The board of Trustees of the Brangwyn Trust act in an advisory capacity to Waltham Forest Council, in relation to the safe custody and guardianship of the Brangwyn collection housed in the William Morris Gallery. Waltham Forest Council is looking to recruit a new trustee as they develop the board for the future, and is in particular, seeking a trustee who can bring art collections expertise and who can support good governance arrangements for the Trust.

 

Waltham Forest Council welcomes applications from the widest possible range of people and keen to encourage interest from candidates from a BAME background, and from those representing the younger voice.

 

More information about the trustee position and how to apply is set out in the recruitment pack at Weblink here

 

Deadline 2 August

Interviews are scheduled for Tuesday 1 September.

 

Equal Opportunities
Waltham Forest is a diverse borough where diversity is valued and is integral to both, service delivery and employment of its staff. The Council is proud of its rich mix of communities and as the largest employer in the area, it works hard to respond to the changing needs of its population.

We use our statutory duties on race, gender and disability equality and best practice in respect of age, faith and sexual orientation to ensure equality of opportunity in the workplace.

The Council is committed to meeting its 4 equality objectives contained within the Waltham Forest Council Equality Plan 2012/2015:

- Promoting equality of opportunity

- Opposing all forms of discrimination, intolerance and disadvantage

- Ensuring our workforce reflects the diverse communities of Waltham Forest at all levels.

- Providing fair, appropriate, accessible and excellent Services to all.

Respecting Diversity is a core Council value.
