“This is a great chance to be chair of the board trustees that make sure that this place is running in the right direction and doing everything it can to support the community.

“Whatever your background and whoever you are, I would encourage you to apply. We are looking for someone who can provide that leadership and direction as Bramley Baths moves on to the next stage of its exciting adventure.”

A Baths spokesperson said: “We currently have a fantastic opportunity for someone to join us as chair of our volunteer Board of Trustees.
