About Kinship
Kinship is the leading charity in England and Wales for kinship carers – relatives and friends who raise children when their parents aren’t able to. We offer kinship carers expert advice as well as financial, legal, practical and emotional support and understanding from the moment they need it, for as long as they need it. We’re always there to help with the complicated and stressful decisions that so many kinship families have to make, as well as to celebrate the good times.
Working alongside kinship carers and the children they raise, with their voices and views at the fore, we build communities of support and give everything we have to fight for each family and their rights, as well as to raise awareness of kinship care and secure better support for all those playing this critical role.

We’re looking for a new trustee to be our Honorary Treasurer and chair our Finance Committee
Do you want to support the personal development of thousands of young people in Barnet and beyond? Unitas Youth Zone is seeking an Honorary Treasurer to join our Trustee board and help guide the charity's finances as we grow and expand our services. You will have a front-row seat in one of the most dynamic organisations in North London and you will get to see the impact of your work every day as literally thousands of young people a month come through our doors.
Who we are
Unitas Youth Zone is a registered charity and a company limited by guarantee. Our income in 2021/22 of £1.5m, almost all of which is voluntary income. We are based in a top-of-the-range facility in Burnt Oak, opened in 2019, that offers seven-day-a-week universal access youth provision. We currently have more than 3,000 active members. We are open to young people aged 8-19 years olds (and up to 25 for those with additional needs).
Who we’re looking for
We are looking for a trustee to be our Honorary Treasurer and chair our Finance Committee. In addition to the experience and attributes we would expect of a trustee (see below), candidates will need to be a qualified accountant and have either finance strategy, risk or auditing experience at a senior level and ideally also have experience of an executive or non-executive director role in an organisation of comparable size to Unitas.
The Honorary Treasurer will work closely with Unitas' Chairman and senior leadership team and will also be a member of the Pay and Remuneration and Investment committees.
Who the trustees are
Our trustees set our strategic direction and ensure we are having the greatest impact possible. They make sure that we keep true to our values - putting young people first, acting with integrity, helping young people to dream big, working together as one team and encouraging everyone who is a part of Unitas to be the best version of themselves.
Our Board is made up of 12 trustees. We need a diverse range of people and skills on our Board, but as a group, the trustees need to:
• Think creatively
• Set our overall strategy
• Look in detail at our progress
• Communicate clearly and sensitively as part of a group
• Make decisions
• Be ambiitous and optimistic about young people
It is hard in words on the page/screen to get across the immense impact of Unitas. We would encourage you to follow us on social media to get a flavour, and before any candidate would be accepted as a Trustee we will invite you to visit the building for a tour and to meet our youth workers and young people/
Please click the 'How to apply' button for more information on how to complete your application
Closing date: 11.59pm on Thursday 26 May 2022
The time commitment
The Honorary Treasurer role will involve a commitment of approximately 1-2 hours a week on average. This includes attendance at the meetings detailed below. All meetings can be joined by Zoom if necessary, though we encourage some in-person attendance in order to get a "feel" for the workings of the Youth Zone.
The Board of Trustees currently meets six times per year. Meetings are two hours, 5-7pm. They can be attended in person or via Zoom.
The Finance Committee currently meets six times a year. Meetings are an hour. They are currently 9am-10am but they can be changed if the Treasurer wishes.
The Pay and Remuneration Committee meets twice a year for 1.5 hours - once in March and once in September. These meetings can be scheduled according to attendees' schedules.
The Investment Committee meets on an ad hoc basis, entirely online. Meetings are usually only an hour.
On top of these formal commitments, there are occasional emails and phone calls (no more than 30 mins a week maximum). Our annual audit (usually in May/June) may require a bit more time.

Join us for 21 hours a week as our Communications Officer (12-month fixed term contract).
We’re looking for someone to join our team to help us build our social profiles and create engaging content.
For families facing tough times, a holiday is a much-needed break from the day to day, as well as giving space and time to breathe, and think differently. Families report feeling happier, creating memories and feeling more confident to face the future. Their stories capture our hearts and the hearts and minds of our supporters, fundraising partners, suppliers and friends.
This role is important in helping us tell the stories and share the impact of holidays on families. It’s important to bring people closer to all the aspects of our work, the different ways in which the wider community can be involved with and help families facing tough times. And in bringing these fabulous stories, and the voices of families we are here for, to life.

You’ll be an important member of our team, working with different fundraisers on their activity, our experiences team to help make sure their messages are clear. Making sure we all understand what's happening in our social channels and what you need to make them the showcase they should be for our work. You’ll have lots of opportunities to try different things, learn and continue to grow our activity.
The role itself is a fixed term contract for 12 months and is for 21 hours a week. We’re super flexible about how to work those hours through the week, so this is something we can work out between us. We work in a hybrid way – a mix of office and working at home. Some people prefer more office time, and that’s fine too.
If you’d like a chat about the role, just get in touch. You might want to hear more about where we are now, and where we are heading. Or what the office is like, or the people, or whether there’s a biscuit tin (duh, yes!). They’re all great questions, so just ask them.
