Amica Care delivers exceptional, person-centred care for older adults across the West and South West of England. Their network includes five nursing and residential care homes and three independent living sites, offering a full spectrum of services from daycare and assisted living to specialised dementia and end-of-life care. Each site contains excellent facilities, enabling residents to balance independence with community.

Alongside providing outstanding support and care, Amica is committed to enriching each resident’s life. They help residents have meaningful experiences, creating special memories with friends and family. With aspirations to expand and serve more communities, they’re seeking a Trustee and a Chair of the Board of Trustees.

Trustees are responsible for defining Amica’s charitable objectives and setting a clear strategic direction. They hold the Executive Team accountable for delivering the organisational mission, reviewing their performance against agreed targets. Furthermore, Trustees act as ambassadors for Amica, representing them at external functions, meetings and events. In addition to Trustee duties, the Chair provides effective leadership to the Board of Trustees, bringing impartiality and objectivity to the decision-making process. The Chair develops the knowledge and capability of the Board, encouraging positive change when appropriate and resolving any arising conflicts. They also collaborate with the CEO, providing support and guidance when required.

For these two positions, Amica are hoping to hear from creative and strategic thinkers, with strong interpersonal skills and good judgement. Ideal candidates will demonstrate leadership experience, preferably with Board-level exposure, and an understanding of charitable governance, financial management, and Trustee responsibilities. Candidates must share Amica’s values and be passionate about creating communities and making a difference together.
