Work With Us

We’re recruiting: Chair & Trustees 

Are you keen to move the arts forward?

Are you passionate about the role the arts can play in building a better society? Do you think that diverse voices deserve to be heard through poetry? Do you want to be an empowering advocate for poetry’s transformative power?

We are looking for a new Chair and Trustees to join our board.

We’re a small, ambitious team working nationally and online to celebrate poetry, support new voices, and widen accessibility. With a reach of over 2.4 million people each year, we’re looking for board members who can help us grow and govern well. We’re particularly keen to hear from prospective Chairs and Trustees with experience in education, digital, fundraising and philanthropy, or governance and leadership. We’d also welcome the chance to support people under the age of 30 take their first step into trusteeship.

Our meetings are flexible, online-friendly, and inclusive by design. Poetry is for everyone – and we want our board to reflect that.

To apply or find out more, please contact Lucy Macnab: lucy@forwardartsfoundation.org, letting us know which role you’re interested in and why you’d like to be a trustee. This may include your relevant experience, skills, knowledge and what you’d like to gain from this trusteeship.

Deadline: Please get your applications in by 21 July
