Overview
As the leading UK charity for blood clot awareness and support, we have driven change since 2002 — from lobbying for blood clot risk checks to winning Charity of the Year. We’re now shaping our next 5 years and seeking new trustees to guide this.
What difference will you make?
Our trustees play a vital role in what we do as a charity. They help guide us, making sure we stay true to our mission and use our resources wisely. You would be joining us at a particularly important time, as we go through a period of change. With two new co-Chairs starting a year ago, and some of our long-serving trustees stepping down after completing their terms, we’re refreshing the board and looking ahead to set out a new strategy and define the impact we are seeking to achieve. We are keen to bring on individuals who are comfortable asking the right questions and ensuring we make decisions that are sustainable and in the best interests of those we support.
What are we looking for?
* Trustee with Financial Expertise who would lead our governance around Audit and Risk. Provide financial oversight, ensuring sustainability and compliance. Advise on strategic investments and budget planning.
* Person Specification: We welcome applicants from diverse backgrounds with the following expertise:
o Experience as a senior financial professional (e.g., Finance Director, CFO)
o Knowledge of charity financial regulations and reporting (SORP preferred)
o Strategic financial planning and governance skills
o Commitment to Thrombosis UK’s mission and values
o Ability to work collaboratively and think strategically
o Commitment to Nolan’s seven principles of public life: selflessness, integrity, objectivity, accountability, openness, honesty, and leadership
What will you be doing?
We are ambitious to grow our impact as a charity and are starting this year to undertake a strategic review with the aim of developing a new strategic plan for the next five years. The board recently completed a skills audit and identified a need for trustees with financial expertise. We are seeking to recruit a trustee with financial experience to join the Board and help us set our strategic and financial direction. In addition, the board has recognised the need for strategic advice and guidance and has agreed to create a Finance, Audit and Risk sub-committee to advise the board. We envisage this trustee will lead that sub-committee.
