Finance Trustee - Citizens Advice
Citizens Advice South Lincolnshire is seeking a trustee with financial experience to help shape the future of our high-performing advice charity.
With offices in Grantham, Spalding and Stamford, plus outreach centres across the region, we support a population of 225,000 people. Last year, we helped 14,000 clients with 60,000 issues and secured over £7 million of additional income for them. We are here for everyone to help people move on with their lives.
As a trustee, you will join a well-known, respected charity, influence strategy, strengthen governance and contribute to meaningful change. This is an opportunity to share your expertise with other professional, dedicated trustees, gain valuable experience, build on your leadership and strategy skills, and increase your employability. Previous Board experience would be an advantage, but is not essential.
You will guide the Board and the Chief Executive Officer on the key assumptions and financial implications of budgets and plans. You will use your financial knowledge and understanding to oversee the financial management of the charity and advise the Board.
You will monitor the charity’s financial performance and support the CEO and financial team in areas such as budgeting, clear and accurate financial reporting and financial compliance. This is an opportunity for you to:
· join a respected national charity
· make a positive impact for people in your local area, and
· gain valuable board experience and build leadership and strategy skills.
The time commitment is four in-person Board meetings and four or five remote committee meetings a year, a Board Away Day and an involvement of 1-2 days per month with the Finance Team.
What do you need to become a trustee?
Trustees don’t need specific qualifications, but we expect all trustees to have
six core skills:
● Insight into the organisation: considering CASL’s objects and its public
benefit strategically
● Challenging constructively: clarifying facts; stimulating thought
● Analysing issues: being objective; evaluating risks; using evidence;
planning ahead
● Weighing up opinions: using evidence; balancing long- and short-term;
prioritising value
● Interpersonal skills: communicating clearly; listening actively;
supporting a healthy culture, and
● Confidence and self-awareness: collaborating with others; treating
everyone with respect.
In addition, as Finance Trustee you will need:
● financial literacy, including experience of creating and managing
budgets
● ability to interpret financial information and communicate it clearly, and
● strong analytical skills.
For this role, we also value:
● experience of working in finance, accounting and/or audit
● experience in charity finance, SORP, or nonprofit financial management
● familiarity with financial software, and/or
● experience of Board or committee work.
Finally, competent trustees should have these six personal qualities to some
extent, and demonstrate them in their behaviours:
● Committed - motivated, dedicated, persevering; plays an active role.
● Responsible - accountable, independent, reliable; accepts collective
responsibility.
● Trustworthy - ethical, principled; is a critical friend and focuses on
continuous improvement.
● Collaborative - team-oriented, approachable; builds relationships and
seeks consensus.
● Confident - independent; contributes constructively and expresses
opinions courageously.
● Thoughtful - curious, adaptable, open-minded; appropriately challenges
the status quo.
