Community engagement charity Sobus is looking for talented, passionate individuals to join our Board of Trustees. We are looking for a new Trustee Treasurer to help guide the charity through a time of exciting opportunity and development.
It's an exciting time for Sobus, as we look to refresh our service offer, and maximise the investment opportunity following the disposal of a property in 2024.
Our overarching aim is to “strengthen local communities”, through the provision of infrastructure support to the local voluntary sector in the borough of Hammersmith & Fulham and supporting business communities around our North Kensington hub.
Our work is focussed on five main areas:
- Voice & Representation
- Information & Intelligence
- Brokerage & Partnerships
- Capacity Building & Business Support
- Affordable Premises (through the provision of our business hubs in Fulham and North Kensington)
Trustee Treasurer: We are seeking a committed individual with a proven, professional track record of financial management and leadership at the highest level, and a sound understanding and experience of the voluntary sector. We need someone with significant experience of leading long-term strategic development and driving financial sustainability.
You will share our vision and want to take a leading role in our journey to be recognised as an outstanding organisation. It would be a significant advantage if you have an understanding or experience of working in the voluntary and community sector, and even more so if you are a current or former resident of Hammersmith & Fulham or have a tangible, established and current connection with the area.
Sobus was formed in 2014 following a merger between the Community & Voluntary Sector Association and Fulham Community Partnership Trust. However, we were first established as the local CVS in Hammersmith & Fulham in 1998.
Sobus is fully committed to equality of opportunity and diversity to ensure that we reflect the full breadth of the people that we support. We therefore warmly welcome applications from all suitably qualified candidates.
Selection process:
Candidates are requested to complete an application and a equalities monitoring form., and if shortlisted, an interview with our outgoing Treasurer, Chair of the Board of Trustees and the CEO. t
For an informal discussion about the position, of for the Job Description and application form, contact the Sobus CEO, Sue Spiller
