Independent Non-Executive Director
Voluntary (reasonable expenses reimbursed)
St John's Hospital Trading Company Ltd | Bath & North East Somerset Changing Lives. For Good.
For over 850 years, St John's Foundation has been supporting people across Bath and North East Somerset. Today, our purpose is simple: to change lives, for good, by helping people live well and feel supported at every stage of life. We provide safe and affordable homes for older people, activities that promote wellbeing and connection, and practical support for people experiencing hardship.
At the heart of this work is St John's Hospital Trading Company Ltd, whose purpose is to generate sustainable commercial income in support of the Foundation's charitable mission.
As we continue to develop our commercial activities and explore future opportunities for growth, we are seeking an additional independent Non-Executive Director to join the Trading Company Board.
About the Role
This is an opportunity to contribute to a growing commercial business with a strong social purpose.
The Trading Company currently operates:
- House of St John's - a socially powered workspace, meeting and events (including weddings) venue in the heart of Bath.
- St Catherine's - a collection of premium serviced apartments in a beautifully restored Grade II listed property.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Working alongside fellow Directors, you will help shape strategy, provide oversight and constructive challenge, and support the continued growth and success of the Trading Company.
Most importantly, your contribution will help generate income that supports the wider charitable work of St John's Foundation.
About You
We are particularly interested in hearing from individuals with expertise in either:
- Commercial Growth, Hospitality & Visitor Economy - Senior commercial leadership experience within hospitality, hotels, events, tourism, travel, workspace operations or related customer-focused businesses.
- Property & Asset Development - Senior experience in property, construction, asset management, valuations, estate strategy or property investment.
Alongside professional expertise, we are looking for individuals who bring strategic insight, sound judgement and the confidence to provide constructive challenge. You will share our values of Trust, Kindness and Courage and be motivated by the opportunity to use your skills and experience to support the charitable work of St John's Foundation.
Previous Non-Executive Director experience is desirable but not essential. We would particularly welcome applications from senior leaders considering their first Non-Executive appointment.
