About the organisation
Youth Enquiry Service (YES) is a charity that has supported young people in High Wycombe and the surrounding areas since 1982.
YES believes that all young people should have access to the mental health support they need, whenever they need it.
To enable this, we provide a range of early-intervention mental health support and wellbeing services for young people. All of our services are free and easy to access, and are open to any young people living, working, or studying, in High Wycombe and the surrounding areas.
We strive to consistently deliver services which are:
Non-judgemental, supportive and empowering
Professional, independent and confidential
Inclusive and accessible
We offer:
Free one-to-one counselling support for young people aged 11 to 35 years from Youth Enquiry Service (Y.E.S).
Free information, advice and guidance, for young people aged 11 to 35 years.
YES is also a C-Card Distribution Site. The C-Card scheme is a free and confidential service which enables young people between 13 and 24 years olds to access free condoms.
Free pregnancy testing.
About the role
YES is seeking a Trustee Treasurer to join our Board and provide strategic financial
oversight, supporting the charity’s sustainability and continued impact for children and
young people’s mental health and wellbeing.

oversight, guidance, and constructive challenge, drawing on your professional finance
or accountancy experience.
Key Responsibilities
• Act as the Board’s lead Trustee for finance.
• Support the development and oversight of financial strategy, budgets, and financial controls.

About You
You will bring relevant financial management experience (ideally with an accountancy
qualification), strong communication skills, and a commitment to good governance.
You will be confident working collaboratively and providing constructive challenge.
Previous trustee or charity sector experience is welcome but not essential.
YES values the insight that lived experience brings to effective governance. We
particularly welcome applications from people with diverse lived experience,
including LGBTQ+ communities, global majority backgrounds, and lived experience of
mental health challenges.
What’s in it for you
This is a rewarding opportunity for someone who wants to use their finance or accountancy skills for social good. As Trustee Treasurer, you will play a vital role in sustaining and strengthening services that support children and young people’s mental health and wellbeing at a time of significant need.
