Opportunity to join The Restart Project’s board of trustees
As we embark on implementing our newly formed strategy, we are looking for a finance trustee who can support us by connecting our ambitious goals with financial realities.
Our vision is by 2035, we’ve helped to end the throwaway production and consumption of electrical products. With systemic support, repair and reuse is easier, cheaper and more rewarding for all.
In 2025 we are winning the argument and are now entering a new phase of doing the ‘hard yards’ of getting our ideas implemented. This requires an evolution of our funding model. At the same time, working with companies – who are both part of the problem and part of the solution – poses special challenges for us to get right.
So we are now seeking a committed individual who shares our excitement and can help us realise the opportunities by serving as our finance trustee.
Who are we looking for?
The role would suit an individual looking to support the growth of a small charity, moving us beyond our 10 employees and further strengthening our finance and strategic approaches.
Having trustees with a mix of backgrounds, approaches and perspectives leads to better decision-making. We believe that a governance and accountability structure enriched by multiple voices and intersectional expertise, leads to more thoughtful, informed, just and liberatory strategies, decisions, and practices.
The finance trustee will take the lead at board level on:
-
Advise on developing our business model and diversify earned and granted funding sources
-
Monitoring and advising on the financial viability of the charity
-
Working with staff to develop a three year business plan, our annual budgets and preparing for the yearly reporting to the Charity Commission
-
Keeping the Board informed about its financial duties and responsibilities
Responsibilities as a board member
As well as the finance trustee specific responsibilities above, board members collectively:
-
Contribute in giving strategic direction to the charity, setting overall strategy and policy, setting targets and evaluating performance against agreed targets
-
Ensure the charity applies its resources exclusively in pursuing its objectives
-
Ensure the effective and efficient administration of the charity
-
Safeguard the good name and values of the charity
-
Declare any conflict of interest while carrying out the duties of a trustee
-
Are responsible for the actions of the charity
-
Participate in other tasks as arise from time to time when possible, such as interviewing new staff, helping with fundraising etc.
-
Attend quarterly meetings and read papers in preparation for the meeting
-
Keep informed about the activities of the charity and wider issues which affect its work
-
Be available to staff for advice and enquiries on an ad hoc basis
Person specification
We are seeking a finance trustee who has the following:
-
Experience in business growth and financial management, ideally with a recognised accountancy or management qualification
-
Understanding of charity finance
-
A commitment to Restart’s vision, mission and values
-
Willingness to devote the time and effort needed to fulfil the role
-
A commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion, and to contributing to a positive working culture
Further information is available about both the treasurer and trustee role in the job specifications available on our website.
