After serving two full terms of office, our current Treasurer will be stepping down at our AGM in November 2024 and we are therefore seeking an experienced replacement to join our Board of Trustees.
The Treasurer is responsible for supporting the Trustee Board to oversee the financial running of the charity in line with good practice and in accordance with our governing document and legal requirements. The Treasurer chairs the Finance & Human Resources Committee, which reports to the full Board of Trustees, commenting on the financial information produced by the organisation’s Leadership team, and providing guidance for the Trustees. The Treasurer plays an important role with the other Trustees in strategic planning as well as providing support and advice to the Finance & Operations Director, ensuring that appropriate measures, controls and procedures are in place. The Treasurer also provides an overview of the organisation’s finances at the AGM each year.
‘This is an exciting time for Children in Wales. We are developing our new strategy, working to maximise our impact to help ensure that children across Wales access their rights. Financial stability and security are vital if we are to achieve our goals. Our treasurer - backed by our strong professional team - has a key role to play. Please think of joining us.’
Helen Mary Jones, Chair, Children in Wales
