We are looking for Board Members who can bring experience and skills to our newly formed organisation.

FordHaven, based in Glastonbury is a hub for children in the Mendips and across Somerset. 

It is the creation of Roxie and Paul Ford. Our nurturing environment welcomes ALL children who require time and space in a setting created with them in mind. 

We help separated children & families to re-establish, repair and maintain bonds by providing a safe space to spend quality time together whilst also providing a space for those who are home-educated, struggling within school or are unable to attend school at this time. 


We are committed to supporting young people in becoming the best versions of themselves. 

FordHaven seeks to enable children and young people to build positive relationships. We achieve this through a variety of services where the children & young people are at the heart of what we do. Visit our website for more information.


Board members may bring specific skills and experience such as Safeguarding, Finance, Social Media promotion, Compliance or other professional expertise.

We also welcome interest from anyone looking to help to develop services for children in Somerset.


There will be application and interview process required for this role, as well as the need for satisfactory references and DBS checks to be successful. This recruitment process takes time to complete to maintain our safeguarding requirements therefore, this is not an immediate role.


The application process starts with an informal conversation following your expression of interest.
