Role

Are you passionate about a fairer, more inclusive society? Would you like to join an innovative, compassionate charity that’s leading the way in tackling the causes and consequences of homelessness?

If so, apply now to join our Board of Trustees! Cyrenians is looking for new volunteer trustees, including a Treasurer, to help guide our work to tackle the causes and consequences of homelessness.

Trustee role

This is an opportunity to use your insight, professional experience and personal perspective to support an organisation that works alongside people facing tough realities - from housing insecurity and poverty to conflict, isolation, addiction and barriers to employment. Our work is valued-led and relationship-based.

As a trustee, you will help set direction, support good decision-making and ensure Cyrenians continues to use its resources wisely and effectively.

You do not need previous board experience. We are interested in people who can think strategically, work collaboratively and bring curiosity, commitment and sound judgement. Some examples of the experience or expertise you may bring include:

·        Digital strategy, including cybersecurity, data and AI

·        Commercial expertise

·        Strategic fundraising

·        Finance

·        Legal background

However, we also welcome applications from people who bring different skills and strengths.

Treasurer role

This is a rewarding opportunity for someone with strong finance or accounting experience who wants to use their expertise for social good. You will play a central role in helping the Board understand Cyrenians’ financial position, make informed decisions and ensure our resources are used responsibly to support people facing tough realities across our communities.

As Treasurer, you will bring financial insight, constructive challenge and clear advice to Board discussions. Working alongside fellow trustees, the Chief Executive and Director of Finance & Corporate Services, you will help oversee budgets, accounts, controls, risk, sustainability and statutory reporting.

You do not need to have been a charity trustee before. What matters is that you can think strategically, communicate financial information clearly, work collaboratively and bring sound judgement.

Application notes

Please see the Trustee Recruitment Pack for full details about both roles, including time commitment and application process. 

Applications close at 12 noon on Monday 5 October.
