George House Trust currently has a vacancy on the Board of Trustees for someone with financial expertise.
Please note that this is a voluntary role based in Manchester.
George House Trust is a well-established and vibrant HIV charity that is celebrating 30 years of supporting people living with HIV in the North West.
Our Trustees are the people who serve on the governing body of George House Trust. Trustees accept the ultimate responsibility for directing the affairs of the Trust, ensuring it is well run and solvent. Ten of our Trustees are Members elected by other Members of George House Trust, and are either active volunteers and/or service users. There are six more places on the Board for co-opted Trustees who bring specialist skills.
We are looking to appoint a Trustee with financial expertise. Working with the very capable Treasurer and Finance Manager, you will work with them to ensure that the Trust’s financial obligations are met. We are looking for someone to bring an external perspective to financial planning and management, risk management and financial performance.
You will need to commit to 12 regular meetings throughout the year. Finance and Risk Sub-Committee meetings are held bi-monthly. The Board of Trustees also meets bi-monthly. The nature of this role would require you to use sound judgement and knowledge to make difficult decisions and to act in the best interest of the Trust and its service users.
If you think you have the skills and experience to join us, you will find a Trustee recruitment pack with more details about the role and a person specification here.
The closing date for applications for this post is 29th February 2016.
We especially welcome applications from people who reflect George House Trusts’ service user groups – HIV positive people (and other disabled people), gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people, people from black and minority ethnic groups, and people from refugee communities.
George House Trust's vision is for all people living with HIV in the North West to live happy and healthy lives and be free from stigma and discrimination, and for all people to know their HIV status and to be HIV aware.
