- ROLE TITLE: Trustee of the Board of Directors
- SPECIALISM: Finance / Treasurer
- LOCATION: Grimsby
- HOURS OF WORK:4 - 6 hours per month.
- MEETINGS: 6 Board Meetings and 6 Sub-Committee Meetings per year.
All Trustees are expected to make an active and dynamic contribution to the Board, the organisation and to supporting our work. Trustees have wide-ranging skills, knowledge, and experience appropriate to governance and strategy.
The overall role of the Treasurer is to maintain an overview of the Charity’s affairs, our strategic planning and to provide guidance to help ensure financial viability and support the requirements underpinning proper financial governance and procedures.
This key role will provide assurance to the Board that the financial resources of YMCA Humber meet its present and future needs, working with the CEO to ensure the Charity complies with relevant legislations, through efficient administration and best practice in good governance.
The ideal candidate will possess:
- Strategic vision, and a solid understanding and acceptance of the legal responsibilities of Trusteeship.
- Financial or accountancy experience.
- Good independent judgment, and a high level of credibility within the community.
- Strong leadership skills and a commitment to the work of the Charity.
- Open and transparent approach.
- Ability to work effectively as a member of a team.
- Knowledge of Charity finance or housing association finance.
- Skills to analyse proposals and examine the financial consequences.
It should be noted that the focus of this Trustee role is strategic, and the Treasurer will not be managing the organisation’s finances on a day-to-day basis; however, regular contact and liaison with the Chief Executive Officer and Head of Finance is expected.
Initially we’d like to set-up an informal conversation prior to completing any application.
After this, if you feel that a trusteeship with YMCA Humber would be a good fit for you, we’ll invite you to submit a personal statement and submit your CV, that will be reviewed by the current board of trustees.
Our mission is to develop an extended YMCA family, which allows people to have a fair chance to discover who they are and what they can become.
