Epworth Old Rectory, in North Lincolnshire, the home of the Wesleys and now an accredited museum, is seeking two directors to serve on the board of the Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO).
The key role of a CIO Director is to support and contribute to the work of the CIO in developing the life of the Rectory as a museum and place of pilgrimage. This role supports the operations of the museum and works closely with the Trust which oversees the strategy and vision of Epworth Old Rectory.
In order to strengthen the CIO and to plan for the succession of directors, expressions of interest are sought in particular from individuals with experience in either administration, finance or buildings maintenance. A knowledge of the heritage or museum sector would be an advantage.
This is a voluntary role, with expectation of attending five meetings per year (ideally in person at the Old Rectory, though all meetings are hybrid and joining on online is possible). CIO Director appointments are approved by the Epworth Old Rectory Trust annually. Directors may serve for a term of up to six years.
Expressions of interest should be sent to the Chair of Trustees, Sarah Friswell, on sarah.friswell@btinternet.com by 11 October 2024.
