Introduction
Since its start in New Zealand in 1990, with a DNA of partnership, mainly music continues to develop relationships with existing and potential local churches and other service providers to deliver substantial and growing family connection opportunities.
Today, we are a dynamic Christian not-for-profit organisation, partnering with nearly 90 churches throughout the UK and connecting with over 1,350 families each week. In 2021, mainly babies was added to the range of solutions available for churches looking for community engagement (mainlymusic.org.uk).
mainly music UK was formed through a CIO structure with strong leadership and a governance structure with a growing vision for new opportunities.
We are interested in recruiting support for this Board. If you live in Australia and have a love for the UK, this could be a great fit!
Skills required
To strengthen the Board's role, we seek new Board members to enhance and develop our skills matrix in the following areas:
- Governance
- Financial
- Organisational development
- Strategic planning/restructuring
- Promotion and advocacy
- Education and Policy implementation
- Connection with denominational movements and/or Church planting networks
Board Members will work within our governance structure, including the legal framework and reporting requirements, while positioning the organisation to reach its strategic ambitions. This is a volunteer, non-remunerated position.
The process
If you are interested in being considered for the mainly music UK Board, please send a cover letter summarising your relevant experience and skills you could offer as a Board member. Please also include a resume with a listing of any previous and current Board service. Previous governance experience would be advantageous but not imperative. You will also need to commit to the values, principles, and unifying essentials of mainly music which will be supplied upon request. All Board Members are required to go through several identification steps as required by law and subscribe to the various policies that form our best practice.
Following receipt of your cover letter and resume, our Visionary/CEO, Jo Hood, will contact you.
Board meetings
The Board meets six times a year on a Monday using Zoom to facilitate meetings at 7.30am UK time (with daylight saving changes, this moves around to commence between 4.30-6.30pm). Meetings usually last two hours, but where there is less business to conduct, meetings are shorter.
