Our partner is a global children’s charity working with young people and families living through poverty, conflict, and man-made and natural disasters to ensure children can have the childhood, and the life, they deserve.
They are seeking an individual to join the Board of Trustees who can support effective oversight of the financial matters of the Charity in line with good practice and governance, and the Charity’s legal responsibilities, ensuring that their money is safe, properly used and accounted for.
The post-holder will have knowledge and understanding of current financial practice relevant to charities and experience within financial planning and risk management. Although successful experience of operating within a board is advantageous, first-time trustees who can demonstrate the requisite experience, skills and knowledge will be considered.
The Board meets 4 times per year, alternatively online and in central London, including an annual away day meeting. You will also serve on the Finance and Audit Committee which also meets up to 4 times per year. The total time commitment is around 8-10 days per year plus ad hoc availability for meetings with staff.
