We work closely with each person and their healthcare professionals to ensure care is tailored to their needs, helping them make the most of life and make every day count.

Our specialist care teams provide support to individuals and their families throughout illness, death and bereavement, either at home or through our hospice services—Little Havens for babies, children and young people across Essex, and Fair Havens for adults in Southend-on-Sea, Rochford and Castle Point.

Together, we’re ‘Making every day count’.

About the roles

• Finance Trustee

As Finance Trustee, you’ll play an important role in ensuring Havens Hospices remains financially resilient and well-positioned to deliver its mission, providing specialist care and support for children, young people, and adults living with complex or incurable conditions.

You don’t need to have been a Trustee before; what matters most is your enthusiasm for numbers and an analytical mindset.

Working alongside the Treasurer, Board and Executive Team, you’ll bring curiosity, sound judgement and a willingness to explore new ideas as part of a collaborative and supportive board.

Ideally, you will be a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent), with senior-level experience in finance, audit or accountancy, and a values-led approach. You’ll be risk-aware, thoughtful, and committed to ensuring that every pound raised is used effectively to deliver outstanding care and secure the long-term sustainability of our hospices.

For both roles, we are searching for candidates with enquiring minds who are flexible and open to learning and exploring new ideas. You will bring substantial experience in collaborative working and bring your personal and professional expertise to support us in making sound strategic decisions.

Time commitment: approximately 1 to 2 days a month for both.

Dive into lasting impact: Fundraise for East London Waterworks Park to create and shape natural swimming ponds, ecological habitats and community gardens

East London Waterworks Park is a volunteer-led charity that has won a 2024 New London Architecture award and raised £2m towards buying land from the Department for Education to transform the 14-acre Thames Water Depot on Lea Bridge Road on the border of Waltham Forest and Hackney, into a new biodiverse park with natural swimming ponds, forest schools and community spaces. 

Do you have experience organising events, or would you like to get some? Our past fundraising activities have included pub quizzes, a photography competition and exhibition, sale of locally made jeans and more. If you’re buzzing with ideas of how to raise money or are keen to get stuck in and help to make some events happen, we would love to hear from you.

The Fundraising Circle currently meets fortnightly on a Thursday evening on Google Meet and spends voluntary time outside of the meeting completing agreed tasks remotely. We understand that people may not have a lot of time to give, so we want to find volunteers who could give us one-off or ongoing strategic advice and support.

East London Waterworks Park is an exciting and ambitious project that offers many rewarding opportunities for our volunteers. You will have a significant impact on the creation of a new biodiverse community-owned park with free access natural swimming ponds and forest schools. 

By leading fundraising projects that explore how diverse professionals (architects, ecologists, web developers, community researchers etc.) collaborate to shape community infrastructure, volunteers will directly contribute to the development of a park that truly reflects the needs and desires of the local community. 

Without funding we won’t be able to make it happen. Your input will help us craft experiences that inspire, educate, and engage our service users, stakeholders, funders, and the general public, ultimately driving support for the park's mission and ensuring its long-term sustainability. So you will be directly contributing to the creation of a new biodiverse community-owned park with free access natural swimming ponds.

Do you believe in the power of movement to transform lives?

Are you excited by the idea of helping a bold, growing charity make a real impact in Andover and beyond?

Then this could be the opportunity for you.

Valley Leisure exists to help people move more and feel better – physically, mentally and emotionally. Through inclusive, community-focused services like the I Can Therapy Centre, I Can Connect, and the newly expanded Riverside Activity Zone, the charity is reaching more people than ever – and has exciting plans for further growth.

Charisma Charity Recruitment is partnering with Valley Leisure to appoint new trustees to help shape the charity’s next chapter.

This is not a passive governance role. Trustees will bring insight, challenge, and fresh thinking to a board that is ambitious about both commercial success and social purpose. This is an opportunity to use your experience to drive real change – in people’s lives and in the future of the organisation.

The charity is particularly interested in hearing from individuals with experience in finance, commercial growth, business leadership and development, income generation, health innovation and marketing.

Previous trustee experience is not essential – what matters most is your passion for the cause and your ability to contribute strategically. Support and induction will be provided to ensure new trustees feel confident in their role.

Time commitment is around half a day per month, including bi-monthly board meetings, usually held in person at one of the charity’s Andover-based centres.

You’ll be joining a warm, forward-thinking board that balances strong governance with a genuine commitment to kindness, community and impact.

If you’re commercially minded, values-driven, and ready to make a difference, we would love to hear from you.
