The role of an MRN trustee
As with any small charitable organisation, we are reliant on the skills and dedication of the trustees to support the organisation. We pride ourselves on a diverse board which primarily consists of those with the lived migrant, including refugee experiences.

Alongside this, through a skills audit and analysis of our gaps, we have identified the following areas of expertise to have a full complement of skills and knowledge on the board: HR, fundraising and income generation for small/medium UK charities or businesses.
We want to reflect the communities we engage with, and therefore want to continue to attract those with the lived experience of migrating or the refugee system, who are from racialised or migratised backgrounds. We are also keen for those under 25 and those living outside of London to apply.
As a trustee you will be able to apply your significant skills and abilities, while working alongside devoted and enthusiastic trustees and staff who are committed to working and campaigning for the rights of all migrants.

- To ensure MRN follows effective governance to meet regulatory and statutory requirements and complies with its governing document (i.e., memorandum and articles of association), charity law, company law and any other relevant legislation or regulations
- To make balanced and informed decisions in the best interests of the charity to achieve its purposes, and avoid personal conflicts of interest when making decisions
- Ensuring that MRN applies its resources exclusively in pursuance of its charitable objects (i.e., the charity must not spend money on activities that are not included in its own objects, however worthwhile or charitable those activities might be) for the benefit of the public
- Ensuring that MRN defines its goals and evaluates performance against agreed targets
- To act responsibly, reasonably, and honestly, and safeguard the good name and values of MRN
- Ensuring the effective and efficient administration of MRN, including having appropriate policies and procedures in place
- Ensuring the financial stability and probity of MRN
- Protecting and managing the property of the charity and ensuring the proper investment of the charity’s funds
- Following proper and formal arrangements for the appointment, supervision, support, appraisal, and remuneration of the CEO
In addition to the general qualities of a trustee, we are specifically looking for the following experience:
-
A significant understanding of UK HR policies and procedures to ensure compliance with legal and regulatory requirements.
-
To provide oversight and strategic guidance on HR matters, advocate for best practices in employee management
We would expect the trustee with HR expertise to sit on the staff committee which is due to be formed.

What will you be doing?
Join REN as Treasurer and play a key role in guiding the organisation’s strategic direction and financial sustainability.

- Oversee the preparation of accounts in line with funder and statutory requirements.

- Ensure compliance with funder conditions and financial reporting obligations.
- Provide oversight of financial risks and identify opportunities to strengthen REN’s financial position.
- Lead Board-level discussions on financial matters and contribute to policy on reserves, investments, and financial governance.
What are we looking for?
Essential:
- Passion for and commitment to Refugee Employment Network’s mission and strategic objectives.
- Experience of successfully dealing with strategic issues, interpreting complex information and business planning.
- Ability to collaborate, support and build relationships with a range of internal and external stakeholders.
- Demonstrable commitment to diversity and inclusion.
- A recognised financial qualification or relevant experience in a strategic finance role.
Desirable:
- Experience serving as a Trustee or Treasurer, or working within the charity sector.
REN values equity, diversity and inclusion in our workplace and we encourage applications from suitably qualified and eligible candidates regardless of sex, race, disability, age, sexual orientation, gender reassignment, religion or belief, marital status, or pregnancy and maternity status, or socio-economic background.
What Difference will you make?
You won’t just be balancing numbers - you’ll be helping refugees build stable, hopeful futures through meaningful employment. As Treasurer, your insight will help REN make smart, strategic decisions that directly impact how we support thousands of people starting over in a new country. You’ll be a key voice in shaping how we grow sustainably, stay accountable, and make every pound count toward creating real, lasting change.
Time Commitment
- Board meetings are held either quarterly or every two months, and typically last 1.5 to 2 hours.
- Meetings are typically in London or virtually, offering flexibility for in-person or remote participation.
- We expect the time commitment to be up to 1.5 days a month. At times this may vary given the time of year.
The TrusteeWorks Team at Reach Volunteering are supporting REN with their Treasurer recruitment.

Background
Indigenous peoples and local communities are grappling with the constant threat of displacement from their lands in Tanzania. The Maasai communities in Tanzania's Loliondo and Ngorongoro regions are currently facing significant challenges, primarily due to government-led eviction efforts aimed at designating these areas for conservation and tourism purposes. The violations of human and land rights have left thousands of people vulnerable and in need of urgent assistance. These evictions not only disrupt the livelihoods of the affected populations but also undermine their cultural heritage and traditional ways of life. As these communities are forced from their ancestral lands, many lose access to vital resources such as grazing lands, water, and shelter, leading to severe socio-economic hardships. Not1More is working with a partner organisation, Traditional Ecosystems Survival Tanzania (TEST), in Tanzania to support their essential fundraising, advocacy and community development activities.
Your Role
We are looking for a volunteer who can dedicate time to this role through to December 2025. You will be a part of a team that works directly with Tanzania’s indigenous Maasai, and help to make a difference in key areas such as protecting ecosystems, preserving Indigenous knowledge, community capacity building and advocating for Indigenous rights.
The main objective is to help TEST diversify and increase their funding sources. This will include connecting with other enthusiastic team members online to develop a fundraising strategy and implementation of a fundraising campaign, including identifying grant funding opportunities, assisting in the preparation and submission of grant funding proposals, and pursuing philanthropic and corporate partnership funding opportunities.
Desirable Skills and Experience
Ideally you are a compassionate, organised, and resilient individual with strong communication and relationship-building skills, along with a passion for the cause. A proactive, positive personality with a can-do attitude, would highly suit this role.
Previous experience with fundraising activities, preferably with an NGO is desirable but not necessary.
Mentoring
Support and mentoring to develop your skills will be available in this role as we aim to help you bring out our talents in this team.
Hours
As this is a volunteer role, time is flexible, but you would be expected to attend a bi-weekly check-in with someone from the Not1More team to ensure we are working in the same direction.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
