At National Star, we’re driven by our vision for a world in which people with disabilities are able to realise their potential as equal and active citizens in control of their lives. This sits at the heart of everything we do, from the personalised and world-class learning we provide via National Star College to training, specialist services and our work in the wider community. All of this is underpinned by both our passion to enrich people’s lives and by our moral and statutory responsibilities. 

Our Chair, Paul Styles is stepping down after a hugely successful term of ten years. During his tenure the charity has grown and developed, the work we do is more diverse than ever before. For more than 50 years we have supported people with complex disabilities, starting small we are now proud to work with more than 500 young people every year. Our new Chair will help us to ensure that we continue to evolve and grow, to support more young people and their families.

National Star is a complex organisation, with a turnover of c£36 million and more than 1,200 colleagues. We have multiple regulators in England and Wales, we are commercially strong but our margins are tight, so we have to ensure that everything we do is carefully monitored and evaluated. Every pound we spend must help us to deliver better outcomes for the people we support year after year. Social Care is an industry with many challenges and opportunities, our next Chair will help a strong Board and Leadership team to navigate the years ahead.

You will have been successful at Board level, understanding and believing in the value of good governance and the impact it can have on the success of an organisation.

This could be from your professional or personal lived experience.

Most importantly, you will share our values and commitment for providing high quality, person centred support and learning. You will be driven to use the skills and experience you have developed both professionally and personally to play a key role in the leadership of National Star.  You will lead a talented and stable Board and Executive Team to help us to continue to ensure that the people we support are at the heart of all the decisions we make.
