Who we are
Leeds Church Institute (LCI) exists to be an active and progressive agent in city life for the benefit of all.
It is a faith based organisation and we work through events, publications and social media.
The role
Due to a forthcoming retirement
from the Board, the Trustees are eager to recruit someone with the financial
skills and experience to serve as the organisation’s Treasurer, ensuring the
organisation’s financial health and stability. They will advise trustees on
financial responsibilities, including the budget, and monitor the charity’s
finances, while also liaising with staff as needed. In addition, the Board’s
most recent skills audit has shown that we would especially welcome
applications from people who have professional knowledge and or experience in
the area of communications. We are also keen to increase diversity within LCI’s
Board, particularly welcoming expressions of interests from people with ethnic
minority backgrounds, LGBTIQA+, people with disabilities and younger people as
these are currently under-represented on our Board.
The
Board helps the organisation’s Director and staff set the strategy and policies
for LCI, supporting the staff team to fulfil LCI’s vision, mission and its
operational plans
Trustees are appointed for a
three-year term of office, renewal for a further term of three years, with an
additional further term under exceptional circumstances. This is a voluntary
position, but reasonable expenses will be reimbursed.
LCI Council meetings are held in
the daytime on five occasions per year, with a separate (evening) AGM and two
Staff / Council (daytime) away half-days.
If you believe you would add
value to our board, we would be keen to hear from you. If you would like to
have an informal chat to understand more about the organisation and the role,
please email the Chair of the Board of Trustees, Revd Paul Maybury at paul.maybury@leedsminster.org
