Thank you for your interest in the role of Chief Executive Officer of the Oversight Trust. This is an exciting opportunity to lead a unique and impactful organisation at the heart of the use of dormant assets for public good. You will be joining the organisation at a time of transformation when the scale of the assets available to it could grow considerably as a result of the expanded scope of the Dormant Assets Scheme beyond traditional bank accounts to include new sectors: Insurance and Pensions; Investment and Wealth management; and Securities. The Dormant Assets Scheme has already unlocked over £750 million for investment in good causes in England to date and it is estimated that this will be increasing by a further £440 million by 2028.
The Oversight Trust plays a vital role in ensuring that organisations receiving funding from the Dormant Assets Scheme in England remain true to their social missions, as defined in their Articles of Association, and are well-governed to deliver meaningful and lasting impact. This role requires a unique set of skills to oversee but not to step into the governance of some of the most influential organisations in the social sector. This role is well suited to someone who has a deep understanding of good governance and is egoless and able to work alongside experienced and committed CEOs and boards.
Vaughan Lindsay
Chair, The Oversight Trust
