Treasurer / Trustee

Kangaroos is entering a phase of strategic development; we want to serve all of our community who wish to access our services.  We are looking for a Treasurer to join our team to support this development.

Kangaroos is a registered charity, based in mid Sussex, providing a range of fun, social and recreational activities, clubs and outings in the local community for children, teenagers and adults with severe learning disabilities, additional physical, sensory and medical needs and extreme behavioural difficulties. We provide a lifelong service - our oldest member is 43!

We believe that people living with a learning and/or physical disability or a long-term illness should have the same choices, quality of life opportunities and aspirations as others. We are the only non-specialist regular provider for children and adults with complex needs in mid-Sussex.

The treasurer will oversee the monitoring of the organisation’s finances on behalf of the whole board of trustees, to report regularly on them to the board, and to make sure that money and property are properly managed.

We have 4 board meetings a year plus a strategic away day. The CEO is supported by a part time Finance Director and so the Treasurer's role is to provide oversight and leadership and take the lead on advising the Board of their financial responsibility.

This is an exciting time to be joining Kangaroos to help shape the future strategy.
