Eat Club seeks a trustee and Treasurer who aligns with our mission, to lead our financial strategy and oversight. Joining Eat Club as Treasurer will provide you with the opportunity to make a difference to London’s youth through food. The opportunity is for London based applicants only.
What difference will you make?
As a trustee with financial expertise, you will be able to guide the charity as it grows and develops, making sure that it makes the best use of resources already available whilst working to secure and effectively use further income generated.
We are looking for someone who will contribute actively to the board and act as Treasurer. This will involve
* Completing an induction process & training
* Reviewing financial information provided by the executive in order to provide suitable guidance to fellow trustees
* Being available occasionally to provide advice and guidance to the CEO and the financial management consultant where requested
What We Are Looking For
* Someone with sound grasp of finances and financial planning tools (e.g. Profit & Loss, budget). It is not necessary to be a qualified accountant or a finance manager; however strong financial literacy is expected
* Previous trustee experience is desirable (but not essential)
* A desire to improve the life chances of young Londoners, and a passion for the role of food in this, is important for this role
Hybrid
Eat Club’s Trustee Board currently comprises seven members, including the Chair, with a wealth of experience between them, in the fields of entrepreneurship, food policy, strategy and development. However, none of the trustees are currently in a position to also take on the role of Treasurer for the Board. This role will therefore encompass both the role of trustee in general, but also the more specific role of Treasurer.
What will you be doing?
As Treasurer, we would expect you to
* Provide governance through financial oversight, working with the CEO and financial management consultant; this will include but not be limited to providing the Board with advice on information provided in the statements of Profit & Loss, approving annual budgets and three-year financial plans.
* Provide guidance with respect to the current and projected level of reserves, and whether these are appropriate for the charity
* Comment on the affordability of any pay increases in line with the charity’s policy on inflation‑related pay increases
* Provide guidance to the Board, as required, on the reasons for any material changes in 1) Year-on-Year performance 2) performance vs budget (variance to budget)
