Treasurer required with accountancy or similar qualification
London and Home Counties 

We are partnering with the Social Interest Group (‘SIG’) to appoint new Trustees to join their board.  SIG brings charities together to work under one umbrella focusing on delivering good quality social and health care services.  They build powerful partnerships and creative solutions that bridge gaps in provision and aid recovery, reablement and resettlement, supporting thousands of people with good-quality support and care in residential services, drop-in centres, community floating support settings (including people's own homes), probation settings, and hospitals awaiting discharge
SIG’s Mission is to create solutions that bridge the gaps in local health and social care, getting people out of hospital, out of prison and off the streets.

SIG is a not-for-profit organisation (the parent company), who together with their subsidiary charities SIG Penrose, SIG Housing Trust, SIG Equinox, SIG Pathways to Independence and SIG Safe Ground, work to tackle social and health care inequalities and aid recovery, reablement and resettlement in order to ensure that people in our society have every opportunity to live fulfilled, healthy and constructive lives. They do so across London, Brighton, Bedfordshire, Luton, and Kent. They also support people in prisons, currently delivering services in Liverpool.

Through their values they are committed to:

• Delivering excellence and innovation
• Promoting equality and mutual respect
• A belief that positive change is possible
• Involving and consulting service users
• Active citizenship and community involvement
• Valuing staff, harnessing their full potential

They are keen to have an inclusive board, therefore backgrounds and experience though important is matched by the need for the passion, ambition and interest to help SIG fulfil its mission.

As mentioned, your background is less important but if you are either within the charity or non-profit sector or within an organisation that operates in a similar environment, engaged in the medical profession or a service user or carer, this is of particular interest to the current board.

The successful candidates will demonstrate: 

• A clear commitment to the charity’s mission and values, with a genuine passion for making a positive impact in the community
• The capacity to participate actively and from an informed position
• A willingness to use personal networks and resources of relevance to SIG’s charitable purpose
• A passion for their work, and to promoting SIG and its subsidiaries as an organisation
• A firm understanding and respect for the Nolan Principles of Public Life

Meetings are held in the evening at their head office in the Angel/Highbury & Islington area or virtually; there are 4 meetings plus one ‘away day’ each year. The total time commitment is in the region of four hours per month.

What we can offer you as a volunteer Fosterer

• Join a community which will enable you to meet new people and make new friends.
• Learning new skills through our comprehensive induction and fostering training programme.
• Enhance your CV by adding your volunteering experience and newly acquired skills.

It is worth mentioning that our animals do have different needs as whilst some are ready for rehoming others may require rehabilitation or ongoing medication. Therefore, we also aim to understand your situation and circumstances to ensure that we match you with your perfect foster animal.
