The Trustees provide essential oversight for them.

- undertaking an ambassadorial role for The Money Charity where opportunities arise
- attending quarterly meetings of trustees
- avoiding any conflict of interests
- reflecting annually on the board’s performance and your own performance as a trustee
- As a company limited by guarantee and a registered charity, all Trustees are required to fulfil the legal responsibilities as a trustee, in addition to the legal responsibilities of being a Director of a company in England and Wales
What experience and skills will I need to do this role?
- Successful track record in the areas of fundraising and/or business development in a charitable organisation and/or experience in digital marketing or education
- Experience of working at a senior management/leadership level
- Demonstrable and practical experience of training or coaching to enable others to grow their skills and confidence

- Ability to work as part of a team and willingness to take collective responsibility for the governance of the charity
- Ability to work at a strategic and visionary level whilst understanding the detail and complexities of delivery, with the influencing skills needed to bring staff and stakeholders along with plans
- Ability to analyse risks and opportunities, taking a balanced approach to both
What can The Money Charity offer me through this role?
- Make a significant difference to a charity that is currently developing its next three-year strategy and play a part in developing that
- The unique opportunity to develop existing skills and gain leadership and governance experience as a charity trustee
- Full induction and training given by The Money Charity, including the roles and responsibilities of the Board of Trustees
- Access the training we offer to staff and beneficiaries, including auditing, financial training and shadowing our delivery in schools, workplaces and communities
