About the organisation
REMAP’s mission is to design and custom-make equipment to help people with disabilities live more independently. The equipment and adaptations made by our volunteers aims to support mobility, aid you at home, manage personal care or enjoy sports and hobbies. We provide this service free of charge through our network of skilled volunteers.
About the role
We seek a Finance Trustee to maintain an overview of REMAP’s financial affairs, ensuring its economic viability and oversight of its proper financial records and procedures. This opportunity has arisen as we seek to implement a succession plan for our current highly respected Treasurer, who wishes to step down in the next 12 months.
Our Finance Trustee will play a vital role as part of our Board of Trustees, supporting REMAP’s governance, providing financial oversight and strategic direction, and ensuring that effective and appropriate financial measures, controls, and procedures are implemented.
We seek a strategic thinker who will use their financial expertise to oversee our financial health and play an active role in forecasting, setting budgets, and liaising with auditors. Good knowledge of charity finance is essential, as your input will be critical as we look to the future and implement our new strategic plan. The Finance working group will actively participate in the charity's financial decision-making.
We want to appoint experienced professionals with complementary skills in finance and business across the charity and commercial sectors to join our Board of Trustees in leading and supporting the charity to deliver our goals.
It is an aspiration that the Finance Trustee would also act as the Honorary Treasurer.
