About this role
As you may know, Emmaus communities operate a unique model to support people who have experienced homelessness, known as companions. We provide them with a home, care, training and mentoring, support for as long as they need it, and work opportunities within our social enterprises, which are based around the recycling and sale of preloved goods donated by members of the public.
We are now seeking a suitable candidate to fill a vacancy for the important volunteer trustee position of Honorary Treasurer. Given the growth of the community, the ambitious programme of projects in our Strategic Plan, and the need to consider new directions and initiatives, the Board is looking for a Treasurer with experience in these areas.
The successful appointee will be a trustee, Company Director, and a member of the Board, working with other trustee’s other stakeholders, to oversee the implementation of our strategy and to address homelessness issues.
If you feel this opportunity might be for you, we do hope you follow up your interest by getting in touch – we’ll send you an application pack with full details of the role.
