The charity is at an exciting stage of development and the role would allow the successful applicant to really make a difference to the charity and the beneficiaries we assist. Some of the responsibilities of the role include;

  • Overseeing the financial affairs of the organisation and ensuring they are legal, constitutional and within accepted accounting practice.
  • Ensuring proper records are kept and that effective financial procedures are in place.
  • Monitoring and reporting on the financial health of the organisation.
  • Overseeing the production of necessary financial reports/returns, accounts and audits
  • Helping fellow committee members be aware of their financial obligations and take a lead in interpreting financial data.
  • Regularly reporting the financial position at committee meetings (balance sheet, cash flow etc.).
  • Liaising with accountant and CEO on the production of an annual budget and proposing its adoption.
  • Ensuring that effective financial procedures and controls are in place.

We are particularly interested in hearing from anyone with extensive experience in the financial sector; however experience in the voluntary/charity field and the relief of poverty would also be desirable. A successful applicant would be decisive, responsible, and passionate about delivering and developing the aims of the charity. Our Trustees play a vital role in the work of the charity and have a high degree of responsibility.
