Could your finance and governance expertise help us reach more seriously ill children and their families?
Imagine This is looking for a Trustee with Finance & Governance expertise to join our Board.
When a child is seriously ill, the impact reaches far beyond their diagnosis. Fear, anxiety, isolation, and uncertainty can affect the whole family. Yet emotional wellbeing support can still be difficult to access when it is needed most.
At Imagine This, we want to change that. Our mission is simple but ambitious: Mental wellbeing for every seriously ill child. We are a growing national charity, commissioning and funding specialist wellbeing support through hospitals, hospices, charities, and community organisations across the UK.
As we grow, strong financial oversight and good governance matter more than ever.
We are looking for someone who can bring financial expertise, sound judgement, and constructive challenge to our Board. You will help us scrutinise financial performance, strengthen our approach to risk and governance, and make confident decisions about how we use our resources to achieve the greatest possible impact.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
We'd particularly like to hear from people with experience in:
- Finance, accountancy, or audit
- Financial planning, forecasting, and reporting
- Risk management and internal controls
- Governance and compliance
- Strategic planning and organisational growth
A professional accountancy qualification such as ACA, ACCA, CIMA, or CIPFA would be particularly valuable.
Previous trustee experience is welcome, but it isn't essential. We are interested in people who can bring their professional experience into a Board setting, ask good questions, and help us think carefully about the opportunities and risks that come with growth.
Why join us?
This is a chance to join Imagine This at an important stage in our development and help build the strong financial and governance foundations that will allow us to reach many more children and families.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You'll work alongside a committed Board and team, contribute to decisions that genuinely matter, and use your professional expertise in service of an ambitious national mission.
Time commitment: approximately 1–2 days per month, including 4–6 Board meetings each year and participation in relevant committee meetings.
Imagine This is committed to building a diverse and inclusive Board. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and particularly encourage people whose experiences and perspectives are underrepresented in charity governance.
