The Museum tells the stories of the working life of Bath - working people's lives and trades, skills, businesses, shops, and manufacturers. Visit Website Full Description of Organisation The Museum of Bath at Work is the city’s museum of working life and local and social history – the workplaces, factories, shops, trades and industries, and the people who worked in them. The main display is J.B. Bowler’s carbonated mineral waters factory and workshops, rescued in the early 1970s. Through the programme of permanent displays, temporary exhibitions and community projects, we have explored subjects such as the development of Council housing in Bath; public health and sanitation; coal smoke pollution; and the impact of 19th industrialisation.

Job opportunity at VOICES - CHAIR OF TRUSTEES Previous Job Next Job Welcome from the current co-Chairs and VOICES Team Dear Potential Colleague, We are delighted to introduce our charity to you and hope that you will take time to think about whether you are the right person to join us as our Chair of Trustees on the next stage of our journey. VOICES was founded in 2014 in Bath by four women with lived experience of domestic abuse (DA), who found that beyond crisis interventions there was minimal support for those who had experienced abuse on their recovery journey. Their voices were not listened to, they had to keep telling the same story to numerous agencies that were not joined-up and no-one seemed to be focused on their overall well-being and recovery or that of their children. They understood that societal stigma and judgement about domestic abuse and how it impacts on an individual and their identity, added to feelings of isolation and guilt. It was time for something to change – and they made it change by creating VOICES, a survivor-led, trauma-informed and recovery focused charity for the women of Bath and North East Somerset and surrounding areas. VOICES is now recognised nationally as offering the ‘gold standard’ in support – both through the way in which it delivers holistic services for women and in ensuring that the voice of lived experience is included in policy development (justice, DA services) and research. The twin objectives of direct service provision and national influencing are core to the Charity’s ethos. VOICES is funded by charitable donations, government grants, and awards from Trusts and Foundations. At this time none of its domestic violence services is yet commissioned by the Local Authority. One of our founders became our CEO and led VOICES for ten years. She has now stepped down and her replacement joined us in April 2024. With a new CEO in post and an experienced Board this is an exciting time to join VOICES. We need to find the right person to take on the Chair of Trustees role on a permanent basis. We are seeking someone with the values, passion and skills to support the CEO in safeguarding the central ethos of the charity and building upon it so that we are even stronger and more capable. The voices of lived experience of domestic abuse are at the heart of all we do. Our approach is strengths-based, person-centred, recovery-focused and trauma informed. We subscribe to the No Them and Us approach. We believe that an understanding of the long-term impacts of trauma and injustice/re-traumatisation through systemic or professional responses is essential for effective and long-term recovery. VOICES uses a trauma informed approach in all of its work with clients, staff, trustees and volunteers, and advocates for the same in other similar response services, be it in health, legal services or the justice system. VOICES is based in Bath. Our working environment is one of mutual respect and compassion. The wellbeing of all our staff and volunteers is of the utmost importance. VOICES strives to provide a working environment that is supportive of staff and will seek to understand and recognise other personal responsibilities any individual has outside their working life in agreeing working patterns and hours. The Charity is flexible and inclusive. We are actively seeking to increase the diversity of our Board and persons with diversity of experience, circumstance and background are encouraged to apply.
