Essential:
- Financial Awareness: Knowledge of, or a willingness to learn, accounting practices relevant to corporate governance.
- Understanding of Regulations: Understanding of, or willingness to learn about, financial regulations governing charities and companies.
- Collaborative Approach: Financial oversight is a shared responsibility of the board, with the Treasurer working closely alongside fellow trustees as part of a team.
- Commitment & Time: Able to dedicate sufficient time to the role.
- Strategic Thinking: Ability to plan ahead and contribute to the charity’s long-term vision.
- Ability to digest, present & critically evaluate a range of information, including written reports, statistics and verbal communications.
- Willingness to challenge and engage.
- Understanding and commitment to diversity issues.
Desirable:
- Experience serving as a trustee or working within the charity sector.
- Formal financial qualifications.
Support and training available: If you're new to being a trustee, the Chair and board members will offer guidance and training to help you succeed.
What difference will you make?
Your financial oversight and insight will ensure Gloucestershire Nightstop can open its doors to every young person who turns to us in crisis - not just today, but for years to come. By helping us make the most of every pound, identifying risks before they become problems, and ensuring our resources match our ambition, you’ll directly empower us to provide safe homes, compassionate support, and real opportunities for young people on the brink of homelessness.
