Finance Trustee

Are you an enthusiastic individual who wants to make an impact and has a desire to influence change?

While we are recruiting for new trustees from a wide range of backgrounds, we are really keen to talk to people who have strong financial acumen to support our financial governance as a charity.

You might be a current accountant, maybe a retired accountant, or someone with financial charity acumen and book-keeping skills. You’ll have financial qualifications and experience, some experience of charity finance, fundraising and pension schemes, and a willingness to share advice to the organisation on an ad hoc basis.

You will be part of the main board and our Finance Sub-Committee, supporting the Executive Team in financial management and strategic planning.
