Financial Trustee/Treasurer - London, United Kingdom - Business & Human Rights Resource Centre

Description

The Lipman Miliband Trust is a charity whose purpose is to support socialist research and education as well as "educational activities that raise public awareness and understanding of struggles and movements for peace, human rights and a more equal, diverse co-operative and democratic society.

The Trust was established by socialist businessman Michael Lipman in 1974 and academic Ralph Miliband until his death in 1994.

Having benefited from a significant increase in resources in recent years we have started on an exciting new phase of our development that has meant increasing staff support and expanding our outreach, fund-raising and grant-giving activities.

You will work with our Trust Coordinator as well as external advisors and accountants in helping to manage our finances and investments, and be a member of our Governance and Finance Working Group.

As is the case with all charities, our finances are critical to the success of our work so experience or understanding of financial management and accounting would be very welcome.

This is a voluntary, unpaid post, but we are happy to pay for appropriate additional training and there will be a lot of support from the Trust Coordinator and other trustees.

The role will require you to attend each of our four Trustee meetings a year, and to participate in regular online meetings of the Finance & Governance Working Group.

We are based in different locations around the country and most of our work is conducted online, however we aim to meet in-person as a Board at least twice a year.
