Job Description

Girlguiding is the largest youth organisation in the UK dedicated completely to girls. It's our mission to provide fun, friendship, challenge and adventure to girls, helping them grow their skills and confidence and find their voice so they can champion change in their own lives and in their communities. We help all girls know they can do anything.

We have more than 300,000 young members, active in every part of the UK, who meet in 22,000 groups, all supported by our fantastic 78,000 adult members and volunteers, who deliver guiding activities and have a positive impact on hundreds of thousands of girls and local communities every year.

We're ambitious for the future and are seeking an exceptional person to join our Board of Trustees as our new Treasurer and Chair of our Finance Committee.

We're looking for someone who brings deep experience of financial management and oversight, gained at leadership level with the ability to clearly communicate and explain financial information to a range of audiences. Whatever sector your expertise has been gained in, you will be commercially highly astute with an excellent understanding of good governance and the ability to probe and appropriately challenge both the Executive and Board colleagues, using a collaborative approach and sound judgement.

We're seeking to increase the diversity of background and thinking on our board and are committed to creating an equitable, diverse and inclusive workplace as well as the communities Girlguiding serves. As Treasurer and Chair of our Finance Committee, your own commitment to this will be absolutely critical.

If you are motivated to be part of an organisation making positive change in the lives of girls and young women, we hope you will be inspired to find out more.
