We are seeking to recruit a new Treasurer on the Board of Trustees for S.A.L.V.E. International with a minimum commitment of 8-12 hours per month (which can be evening and weekends) based in the UK.
S.A.L.V.E. International is a small International Development charity registered in the UK and Uganda. Our ethos is “Support And Love Via Education”. We support children living and working on the streets of Uganda to have a brighter future.
At S.A.L.V.E. we believe:
- No young person should have to live or work on the streets
- Young people who have lived and worked on the streets deserve the chance to fulfil their potential
- Young people on the streets should have trustworthy, supportive adults around them
With the generous help of our supporters, S.A.L.V.E. works with children on the streets of Jinja, Uganda, so they have the opportunity to leave their difficult pasts behind them and move forward, towards a brighter future.
We have Drop in Centres and Street Outreach services for children currently living on the streets. We offer short-term residential care in our Halfway Homes or Drug Rehabilitation Centre to help a child to transition off the streets, and follow up care and support for when a child has been resettled home to their family. We also offer educational support, or business skills training where assessed to be needed to help a child to settle home successfully.
What does the Board Treasurer role involve?
You will join our Board of Trustees in the UK and work alongside our CEO, Chair, staff teams and Ugandan board, to help S.A.L.V.E. International to thrive and increase our impact.

Practically the role will involve:

● Responding to emails (where relevant), liaising with the CEO, Chair and other board members as needed, and championing any areas of S.A.L.V.E.’s work in which your knowledge, skills, experience and time available allow.
We also believe that it is highly beneficial for board members to visit the programme in Uganda at least once every four years to understand the work in greater depth, share their skills and to meet with team members and service users. Assistance towards your flight costs may be available, based on an application from the trustee.

• Advising the board on how best to carry out its financial responsibilities.
• Liaising with professional advisors, S.A.L.V.E. staff and with the charity’s independent examiner/ auditors as needed.
• Overseeing the internal audit of our annual accounts.
• Reviewing policies for finance, security of assets and investment.
• Ensuring that the charity has robust and effective financial controls in place.
Essential skills for the treasurer:
• Have experience in finance/accounting. You might hold one of the following financial qualifications: ACA - Chartered Accountant, ACCA /CACA - Certified Accountant, CIMA - Chartered Management Accountant, or CIPFA.
• Have proven experience in communicating well with different stakeholders.
• Have the ability to review and develop strategies, policies, procedures and systems to ensure that S.A.L.V.E. is following good practice in line with the UK Charity Commission.
• Be solution focused and creative in their ability to approach problems.
Other desirable (but not essential) skills:
• Have experience of successfully working internationally and/ or with people from different cultural backgrounds.
• Have experience of using XERO software.
• Have previous experience within the charity sector and be able to evidence their enthusiasm and dedication.
• To encourage diversity on our Board we would especially welcome applicants who are originally from Uganda or have strong ties to Uganda, but are now based in the UK.
How to apply: Please email a copy of your CV and a 1 page cover letter explaining why you are interested in the role, highlighting how you meet the requirements and any key skills or experience you would bring to the role. Please also specify in your cover letter if you would be interested in being considered for being a general trustee if you were not selected for the role of treasurer.

About Us
With Jesus. With each other. To the edges.
We are passionate about God’s mission and eager to see more and more people become followers of Jesus. For 225 years CMS has been at the forefront of global mission, living out the gospel of Jesus, seeing lives changed and communities transformed across the globe. Often in ways we could not have anticipated.
Founded by William Wilberforce and other members of the Clapham Sect group of activists in 1799, today CMS supports hundreds of people and partners in mission working together across Africa, Asia, Latin America, Europe and the Middle East. We also train UK Christians for creative, ground-breaking mission in Britain.
Context
With mission no longer being a “West to the rest” endeavour, and as Christianity has flourished in parts of the majority world, we have undertaken a prayerful review of our organisation, in order to discern our mission call for this generation.
We have rediscovered and been re-inspired by the pioneering spirit of our founders. We believe our calling for this time is to the “edges”: to the edges of society, the edges of church and to the edges of our comfort zones. To that end, we have been aligning our organisation and focus to play a catalytic role in facilitating movements of mission to and from these edges.
The Role
Taking a listening and reflective approach, as Chair you will draw out the diverse skills and wisdom among our trustees, ensure excellence in our governance, support the executive leadership in delivering our refreshed vision and play a role in strengthening our links with the Global Anglican Communion.
If you share our passion for following Jesus and making disciples at the edges, bring experience at board level, a highly relational approach and a global perspective, we would love to hear from you.
For more information see the job pack attached. Closing date 14 August.
We are looking for a dynamic leader to help steer Peace Direct in the years ahead. We are looking for someone who cares deeply about the importance of supporting local civil society, who has strong experience of charity governance, and is accustomed to working collaboratively with the CEO and the Senior Leadership Team, and across cultural contexts to build a strong organisation. This is no ordinary Board Chair role. Peace Direct has been at the forefront of thinking about how the international NGO sector needs to transform itself, including how to tackle structural racism. We are looking for a Board Chairperson who will embrace the challenge of leading a Board that will model the changes we hope to see in the wider sector. As part of our commitment to shifting power, we are open to the idea of a co-Chair arrangement, with one Chair based in the Global South/Majority World.
The Chair will lead the Board in its role of ensuring clear strategic direction for PD, compliance with requirements for effective financial and people management, and sound corporate governance in line with PD’s own values and relevant regulatory frameworks. The Chair will also support and, where appropriate, challenge the Chief Executive and foster collaborative and constructive engagement within the Board and between the Board and Peace Direct’s management and staff. They should be willing to act as an ambassador and the public face of the charity as part of PD’s external communications efforts. The Chair will also line manage the Chief Executive in line with PD’s HR procedures.
