About the Role

• Oversee budgeting, reserves and financial planning.

• A professional background in finance, accounting, banking, auditing or financial management.  

• Experience of budgeting, financial reporting and financial oversight.  

• The ability to communicate financial information clearly to non-financial audiences.  

• Strong analytical skills and sound judgement.  

• An interest in supporting children's mental health and wellbeing.  

• A recognised accountancy qualification (ACA, ACCA, CIMA, CIPFA or equivalent) and/or previous charity experience would be advantageous, but we welcome applications from individuals with transferable financial expertise.  

Why Join Blue Smile? 

As a Trustee, you will: 

• Make a lasting difference to children's lives. 

• Use your professional skills to support an established local charity. 

• Gain valuable charity governance experience. 

• Work alongside a committed and supportive Board.
