Honorary Treasurer

We provide home-from-home care for children with complex disabilities and a meaningful break for their families. It is an exciting time having just opened a second home in Hampshire in addition to our "outstanding" Ofsted rated home in Surrey. With more growth on the horizon it is an opportunity to contribute at Board level and be a part of a much valued local charity

You will be able to:

• Operate at a senior strategic leadership level within an organisation
• Contribute to meetings in an engaging way
• Foster and promote a collaborative team environment
• Commit the time needed to conduct the role well

And will have:

• A strong commitment to the charity's strategic objectives; the Cherry Trees Vision and Statement of Purpose
• Strong interpersonal skills and an ability to communicate effectively
• An ability to make sound, independent judgements
• An understanding of how charities are governed - advantageous but not essential
• A broad understanding of charity finance issues and reading financial reports - advantageous but not essential
