Finance Trustee (and Co-Chair, Finance, Audit & Risk Committee)

Help end homelessness and shape the future of one of the UK's leading charities.

At Crisis, we believe that homelessness should not exist, and together we can end it. Our bold 10-year strategy is already driving change but with homelessness rising and funding challenges increasing, we know we must think differently, act courageously, and inspire more people to join us. For the first time in Crisis' nearly 60-year history, we are also becoming a direct housing provider.

We are now seeking an exceptional finance leader to join our Board of Trustees and help guide the organisation through an exciting and ambitious phase of our work.

This is an opportunity for a senior finance professional to use their expertise and strategic insight to influence decisions at the highest level, strengthen organisational resilience, and help drive lasting change for people experiencing homelessness across the UK.

About Crisis

We are the national charity for people experiencing homelessness. We help people out of homelessness and campaign for the changes needed to solve it altogether.

Our values are at the heart of everything we do. We're bold in our ambition, impactful in our approach, collaborative in how we work and equitable in championing fairness and inclusion.

About the role

As a Trustee, you will play a vital part in ensuring Crisis remains well governed, financially sustainable, and focused on achieving its mission.

Alongside the statutory responsibilities of being a trustee, you will bring specialist financial expertise to the Board and co-chair our Finance, Audit and Risk Committee. You will also contribute to oversight of our growing housing delivery function through membership of the relevant committee.

Working alongside fellow trustees and senior leaders, you will help shape long-term strategy, scrutinise performance, oversee risk, and ensure the organisation remains accountable, transparent and financially strong.

We are looking for someone with:

• Significant senior leadership experience with responsibility for organisational finances.
• The ability to interpret complex financial information and assess the longer-term financial implications of strategic decisions.
• Experience of organisational governance, either as a trustee, non-executive director or member of a senior leadership team. Experience of chairing or serving on a Finance, Audit or Risk Committee.
• Strong understanding of financial risk management, audit, compliance, internal controls and organisational sustainability.
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
• A commitment to collaborative governance and collective decision-making.
• A genuine passion for Crisis' mission and a determination to help end homelessness.
• Knowledge of charity accounting (SORP) and Charity Commission requirements is desirable but not essential.
• ACA, ACCA, CIMA, ICAEW or equivalent accounting qualification desirable but not essential.

What you'll bring

We're looking for someone who combines strategic thinking with sound judgement and a collaborative approach. You'll be a trusted adviser who can challenge constructively, contribute to robust debate, and support effective decision-making. Most importantly, you'll share our belief that homelessness can be ended and be committed to helping make that vision a reality.

Diversity is hugely important to us at Crisis, and we want to make sure that our Trustees, staff and volunteers represent communities we support. As we continue to strengthen and broaden the perspectives represented on our Board, we particularly welcome applications from people with lived experience of homelessness, whose insight is invaluable to our work. We also encourage applications from people from LGBTQ+ communities, ethnic minority backgrounds, disabled people, and others who bring experiences and viewpoints that can contribute to a more inclusive and effective Board. Above all, we welcome candidates who share our values and are passionate about creating positive change.

Time commitment: Overall, the role requires approximately one day per month.

• Board meetings: Six meetings per year, held in person at Crisis locations across the UK. Two are full-day meetings and at least one includes an overnight stay.
• Finance, Audit and Risk Committee: Monthly online meetings.
• Housing Committee: Quarterly online meetings.
• Additional engagement: Occasional advice and support between meetings.

Remuneration

This is a voluntary, unremunerated trustee role.

Reasonable expenses will be reimbursed. We are also committed to removing barriers to participation and may consider support where loss of earnings would otherwise prevent involvement.

Term of appointment

Trustees are appointed for an initial three-year term, with the opportunity to be reappointed for a second term.

This is a rare opportunity to use your financial leadership and governance expertise to make a tangible difference to the lives of thousands of people experiencing homelessness.

If you are an experienced finance leader who wants to contribute your skills to a cause of national importance, we would love to hear from you, whether your background is in the private, public or voluntary sector.

• Ensure that the charity is well governed, effectively managed and compliant with its legal and regulatory obligations.
• Support the effective management of risk and ensure that appropriate systems of internal control are in place.
• Provide appropriate support, constructive challenge and accountability to the Director in the exercise of their delegated authority.
• Keep informed about developments affecting PILC, the non-profit legal sector and the wider operating environment.
• Contribute to the regular review and continuous improvement of the Board's effectiveness and governance arrangements.
• Exercise independent judgement, act with reasonable care and skill, and always act in good faith in the best interests of PILC’s, managing any actual or potential conflicts of interest appropriately.

BUILD SOMETHING THAT CHANGES MEN’S LIVES IN LONDON

MINDSET Charity

Trustee Recruitment (Volunteer Roles)

Chair • Treasurer • Fundraising Trustee • Safeguarding Lead • Strategy & Development Trustees

WE’RE NOT LOOKING FOR TRADITIONAL TRUSTEES. WE’RE LOOKING FOR BUILDERS.

MINDSET is a bold, preventative mental fitness charity for teenage boys and men in London. We don’t do clinical therapy. We don’t sit on couches. We build systems, habits, and psychological tools that help men stay strong long before crisis hits.

We exist because too many good men have been breaking in silence. Our founder lived that reality — losing his father and close friends to battles they were never given the tools to fight. Their stories became our mission: no more preventable exits. No more silent suffering. No more men fighting alone.

Now we’re building a movement. A training ground. A new standard for male mental fitness.

And to launch this charity with strength, focus, and integrity, we need a small, high‑energy, high‑impact Trustee Board who can help us build MINDSET from the ground up.

THE ROLES WE’RE RECRUITING

1. Chair of Trustees

A steady, strategic leader who can guide our early direction, keep us aligned with our mission, and help us build a strong, safe, compliant organisation. You’ll be the anchor of our governance and the champion of our preventative mental fitness vision.

2. Treasurer

A numbers‑driven, detail‑focused trustee with UK accounting experience who can help us build lean, efficient financial systems. You’ll ensure our budgets, reporting, and financial planning are rock‑solid as we grow.

3. Fundraising & Grants Trustee

A proactive connector who can open doors, build partnerships, and secure funding. You’ll lead our grants strategy, donor relationships, and fundraising campaigns to fuel our 12‑week programmes. You'll also lead our board in fundraising areas and matters.

4. Safeguarding Lead Trustee

A calm, experienced safeguarding professional who ensures our boys and men are protected at every step. You’ll help us build safe systems, strong policies, and a culture of responsibility. You'll also lead our board in safeguarding areas and matters.

Additional Trustees (Various Specialisms)

We’re also seeking trustees with experience in:

• Strategy & organisational development

• Mental health, wellbeing, coaching or personal development

• Monitoring, evaluation & impact measurement

• Youth work or education

• Digital operations & community building

• Start‑up charities or early‑stage organisations

If you bring clarity, energy, and a passion for helping men and boys build stronger futures, we want you on our team.

WHY JOIN MINDSET?

1. Because this isn’t a passive board role — it’s a founding mission.

You’ll help shape the charity’s identity, culture, and long‑term direction.

2. Because our model is modern, lean, and high‑impact.

We operate like a fitness brand, not a slow-moving charity. Fast execution. Clean systems. High energy.

3. Because every decision you make will change real lives.

Every metric we track represents a boy, a father, a mate — staying in the game.

4. Because we’re building something West London genuinely needs.

A stigma‑free, practical, preventative space where men and boys learn to build habits, not hide feelings.

WHAT WE ASK OF YOU

• Attend in‑person meetings in London (especially early on for Charity Commission documents).

• Bring your skills, your ideas, your networks, and your leadership.

• Help us build strong governance, safe systems, and a scalable model.

• Champion our mission and represent MINDSET with passion, including helping us spread our social media presence by liking and sharing our posts.

• Commit to a role that genuinely matters.

JOIN US.

A bit about this role

As a charity we can continue to help cats and kittens in need thanks to the donations we receive at fundraising events from generous members of the public.

• make you feel welcome, included and respected in line with our values and behaviours
• support you in having a positive and impactful experience at Cats Protection
• cover agreed out-of-pocket expenses in line with our Expenses Policy
• provide you with access to learning, development and engagement opportunities

What we need from you

• help on collection days like supermarket collections events or street collections
• help at fundraising events such as quiz nights, cake sales and dances
• promoting a professional image of Cats Protection at events

Time expectation

This role is really flexible! You could choose to volunteer at one event for a couple of hours or attend multiple fundraising events.

We’ll keep you up to date with upcoming local events where volunteers are needed. You’ll then be able to choose which events you’d like to volunteer at and how many hours you’d like to give. However much time you can give, your contribution will help raise much needed funds to continue the work of Cats Protection.

You may be just the volunteer we've been looking for!

We are committed to building a diverse, compassionate and inclusive organisation where everyone can be themselves and do their best. We are courageous and compassionate in our purpose of helping people see the world through cats’ eyes. Together, we can make a difference. Together, we are all for cats.
