As Treasurer, you will lead the Board’s financial oversight, playing a central role in guiding how we use our resources to achieve the greatest possible impact.

You will contribute to key discussions on growth, funding strategy, and risk, offering both support and constructive challenge. Your input will directly influence how we navigate complex decisions, balancing ambition with sustainability to ensure we can continue delivering vital, life-changing services.
Our Board works in close partnership with the senior leadership team, fostering a culture of openness, trust, and shared purpose. As Treasurer, you will be a critical part of this dynamic, acting as both a trusted advisor and a strategic partner.
