Job description

Trustee Treasurer
St Martins-in-the-Fields Charity
Location: London
Type: Voluntary
Salary: unremunerated, with reasonable expenses paid

St-Martin-in-the-Fields Charity is one of the UK’s leading charities working to support people experiencing homelessness or at risk of becoming homeless.

Who we are

St Martin-in-the-Fields Charity exists so that everyone has a place to call home. With the help of our supporters, we support frontline workers and organisations across the UK. Together we ensure that everyone experiencing homelessness can secure – and keep – a safe place to live.

We help people in vulnerable situations to find and keep a home. Wherever it is needed, we seek to provide emergency financial help that allows someone to secure safe accommodation. These small grants alleviate worry and stress and can transform a person’s circumstances within a matter of days.

Our Vision

Everyone has a safe place to call home and the support they need to keep it.

Our Goal

Homelessness is prevented. When it does occur, people receive the best possible support that enables them to secure and keep a safe place to live.

About the role

The Board of Trustees is the governing body that takes overall responsibility for the Charity’s work - focusing on strategy, agreeing plans and budgets and supporting the Charity CEO and team to ensure processes and practices are in place to run the Charity effectively.

Trustees provide St Martin-in-the-Fields Charity with vital expertise, experience, insights and commitment essential to the governance of the Charity. It is not an expectation that any one Trustee have all the skills; we seek a Board that as a whole has the right combination of skills, experience and knowledge.

Who we are looking for

We are looking for a qualified financial professional to become our new Trustee Treasurer and Chair for the Charity’s Budget, Audit and Risk Committee (BARC). You will play a key role in ensuring the financial soundness of the Charity by maintaining effective governance of the organisation’s affairs, ensuring its financial viability and ensuring that proper processes and procedures exist for assuring all financial records, decisions and delegations are maintained.

In addition, you will be part of an excellent Board playing a full role in helping to shape the Charity’s overall strategy in delivering its mission to ensure everyone has a safe place to call home.

Closing date for applications: 9am, Wednesday 25^th June 2025
