Chair

Carr's Child and Family Services, a registered charity first established in 1887, is funded by Tusla and Pobal to provide assessment and support to children and their families. The organisation works with over twenty-five families whose children range in age from birth to five years. The team is highly trained in assessment, trauma and family support. 

We are recruiting a Chair to lead the Board as it starts its four-year strategic plan. In particular, we are looking for a Chair who will:

• Ensure the effective operation of the Board and its committees in conformity with the highest standards of corporate governance and the Memorandum of Association.
• Set the agenda, style and tone of Board discussions to promote constructive debate and effective decision-making.
• Build an effective and complementary Board, initiating change and planning succession.
• Ensure the Board fully identifies, addresses, and agrees on all significant strategic issues.
• Promote effective relationships and communications between Directors.
• Ensure that the performance of the Board, its main committees and individual directors are formally evaluated annually.
• Provide supervision and support to the CEO.
• Chair board meetings monthly on-site or remotely
