[part-time] Saltley Trust 'Finance' Trustee vacancy from June 2010 at St Peter’s Saltley Trust

2010-05-27 14:12:32

Location: Anywhere

Description:

Saltley Trust ‘Finance’ Trustee vacancy from June 2010

In Brief
St Peter’s Saltley Trust is an educational charity which aims to ‘advance education and religion’; within the West Midlands region in the three areas of:
· Adult theological education
· Faith and further education
· Religious Education in Schools
The Trust gives grant-funding to project-based work but also employs a director to assist in the development of these and other projects concerned with faith (particularly Christian faith but also including projects with an interfaith dimension) and education in the region.

At the Trust a vacancy will shortly occur for a Trustee taking particular oversight of finance and investments. We are currently making informal enquiries to find an appropriate candidate to fill this role.

In brief, the person in question should have sound financial/accounting knowledge and skills and ideally past or present professional experience, e.g., as an accountant, investment manager, or in business or commerce. They should also be committed to the aims of the Trust, as outlined above.

More Detail
The ideal candidate will be competent to understand relatively large sums of money, since the Trust’s annual income/expenditure is typically around £120K. The main duties are the preparation of a financial report and budget for the twice-yearly Trustees’ meetings (usually June and November). Day-today financial transactions are carried out by the Trust’s part-time bursar, but the nominated ‘finance’ Trustee keeps a watching brief on the Trust’s finances and maintains regular contact with the bursar, offering advice and support as necessary. (In this respect the ability to drop into the office on an occasional basis – say once every couple of months – is valuable). The Trust’s funds are managed by an external fund manager so there is no need to become involved in the nitty-gritty of managing a portfolio of investments. However, some wider knowledge of economics and investments, particularly as relates to the charitable sector, is certainly helpful.

Sometimes the role of finance trustee has gone to an accountant/finance professional pure and simple, but it may be a bonus if the person concerned has insights and expertise to offer in one or more areas of the Trust’s work (perhaps they have a ministerial or educational role within a church, college, or related organisation). Needless to say, as with all charitable trustee positions, the role is voluntary. Trustees normally serve for a minimum term of five years. Although the Trust has its roots with the Church of England and still draws a number of Trustees from this denomination, the Trust now has a totally ecumenical brief. More information about the Trust and its projects can be found on our website: www.saltleytrust.org.uk

Any suggestions of individuals who could do this will be received with interest!
