What are we looking for?
We are currently recruiting two new Trustees for the following roles.
Marketing & Communications
We are looking for a senior communications professional who has leadership experience and expertise in strategic communications, branding, digital campaigns and marketing. Some fundraising experience would also be advantageous. The ideal person will also have strong connections, networks and influence to the organisation, and will be keen to help the charity build its profile, messaging, impact and awareness. This is a key area for the charity’s development and should help to bring an entrepreneurial approach to the Board, while supporting the charity’s Director of Engagement and communications team. More information on the charity’s current marketing and communications activity and strategy is available if required.
Finance
We are looking for a senior financial/accounting professional to work alongside our current Treasurer with a view to succeeding them in the coming years. This person will play an important role in ensuring the financial viability of the organisation, working with the Head of Finance to ensure that the charity’s financial affairs are legal, constitutional and within accepted accounting practice. This includes compliance with charity law, company law and all other relevant legislation or regulations. The ideal candidate will work with the independent auditors on the annual Statutory Accounts process, be fully involved in budget setting, ensure that effective financial procedures and controls are in place, and will help to ensure that the Board and senior managers are aware of their financial obligations. The ability to interpret and clearly communicate financial data, and an understanding of charity accounts would be an advantage. For both roles, you don’t need to have been a Trustee before. What matters is your commitment to our values and your ability to think strategically, challenge constructively, and act in the best interests of the charity.
