Treasurer

Raising Futures Kenya supports young people in Kenya to become self-reliant and live free from poverty, through technical vocational training and business skills courses, and specialised support such as counselling. We are a small, award-winning charity who are actively shifting power to our Kenyan partner NGO.

We are looking for an experienced finance professional to join our Board of Trustees as the Treasurer, to oversee the appropriate management of charity finances, adhering to relevant regulatory compliance, and to lead on reporting on the financial situation to the Board.

We are in Year 2 of our 5 year Strategic Plan, where the focus is on shifting the decision making power to our partner NGO in Kenya. Ultimately our long-term goal is to not be needed, but we realise the funding landscape is a long way off that at the moment.

As one of our Trustees you'll be part of an award-winning small charity who is leading the way in ethical development, primarily by actively shifting power and decision making to our incredible partner NGO in Kenya. We're a small charity but we definitely have a big impact and want to share our learning and knowledge with other NGOs who want to follow the same path of shifting power. We don't just talk about what we want to do, we get it done.

Volunteering your time as a Board member is a two-way street, we want to ensure you get something from it too, so we'll do all we can to ensure you get any experience, training or skills you'd like.

Please see the detailed role description for more information about our charity and what the role entails. Please do not hesitate to contact Kirsty, the CEO, in advance of applying if you have any questions. We look forward to hearing from you.
