Who we are
The Hospice Lottery Partnership is a not-for-profit social enterprise which raises vital funds for partner charities through a weekly lottery and seasonal Superdraws. We have over 40,000 players who have helped raise more than £20 million for our partner charities. Our shareholder partners include Florence Nightingale Hospice Charity, Michael Sobell Hospice Charity, Rennie Grove Hospice Care, South Bucks Hospice and The Hospice of St Francis. We also raise funds for four associate charities.
The role
Overview
We are seeking a Treasurer to join the Board and chair the Finance Committee. It’s a voluntary role which requires a committed individual with financial expertise to take a hands-on collaborative approach, working closely with the Head of Finance and Operations and the executive team, to improve financial insight and reporting.
The successful candidate will think strategically and will be passionate about supporting our partner charities who care for people in their communities at the time they need it most.
Key Points
· Vacancy: Our existing Treasurer will step-up to chair the Board in September, creating a vacancy for a new Treasurer.
· Dedication and Commitment: The role demands passion and enthusiasm with a willingness to devote time to supporting and mentoring the Head of Finance and Operations and the executive team.
· Hands-On Role: It’s a hand-on role which involves active oversight of budgets, forecasts, financial reporting and internal controls, as well as the annual audit process.
· Skills: Qualified accountant, with experience of strategy and governance. Demonstrable collaborative working style. Familiarity with Gambling Act would be advantageous but is not essential (training will be provided).
· Location: The hospitals and hospices we support are based in Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and West London. HLP’s office is in Tring. Board meetings are usually held at one of our shareholder partner’s offices, whereas the Finance Committee usually meets at HLP’s office in Tring. Other work can be carried out remotely with occasional in-person meetings as necessary.
· Time Commitment: There are four Finance Committee meetings (Mar, June, Sept and Dec) and four Board meetings (April, July, Oct and Jan) per year which typically require half a day’s preparation plus half a day’s attendance. Beyond this, an additional commitment of 2–4 hours per week would be beneficial as it would enable the successful candidate to review information, follow-up on actions and liaise with the Chair and executive team.
How to Apply
This voluntary role is pivotal in ensuring we maximise the money we raise for our partner charities who care for people at life’s most challenging moments. If you are passionate about the cause and believe you have the skills and experience we are looking for, we would love to hear from you.
· Application: Please apply via the Trustees Unlimited website. Attach an up-to-date CV and a supporting statement of no more than two sides of A4 explaining why you would like to be considered, and what skills and experience you would bring to the role.
· Closing Date: Its holiday season, so we have extended the closing date for applications to Friday 29th August.
· Interviews: We aim to shortlist candidates and conduct interviews during the first two weeks of September.
· Successful Candidates: Successful candidates will be required to undergo a DBS check and register with the Gambling Commission.
