Arts Emergency Board Trustee - Chair of the Finance and Resources Committee and Finance Lead

Business & Human Rights Resource Centre; United Kingdom; On-site; GBP 100,000 - 125,000; Full time

Job description

Arts Emergency, a mentoring organisation and support network aiming to address the inequalities in the creative and cultural sectors, is looking to recruit a new trustee who will chair the Finance and Resources Committee and lead on ensuring board oversight of the charity’s finances.

We support a diverse range of young people and we aim to reflect this diversity on our board and within our team. For this role we are keen to speak to people who have lived experience. It’s important that you understand first-hand the barriers faced by young people from underrepresented backgrounds. You will be a figurehead for the organisations and a role model for the young people we work with.

We are looking for an exceptional individual to lead the charity through an exciting period of change and growth – working alongside the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Senior Leadership Team (SLT), and fellow board members.

The key purpose of the Finance and Resources Committee is to scrutinise financial information, processes and either approve or recommend action to the wider board of trustees. The Chair of the Finance and Resources Committee will work closely with the Chief Operations Officer (COO) and SLT to ensure that trustees are informed of the financial position of the organisation and any areas of risk.

We would welcome applications from individuals with experience in senior finance roles from any background, but are particularly interested to hear from finance professionals who have experience in the charity sector.
