Finance & Accounts Controller Trustee

We are looking for a Trustee to lead on financial oversight of the charity, set up financial controls and processes and oversee our treasurer.

Our board currently has six Trustees however, the two who oversee financial controls and treasurer responsibilities are stepping down in May. We currently have a lack of financial oversight which impacts on grant applications and planning. We have a need for trustees with specific skillsets so that each board member can take ownership of their areas related to the charity. Currently our CEO has a very active role within Board meetings and would benefit from support from proactive members.

We would like to grow the Board to around nine members and create processes and procedures that diversify our income and sustainability. We currently deliver services in two boroughs (Croydon and Merton) and have a 5 year plan to expand to four boroughs.

DCF are a small, local, family-founded charity focusing on supporting children and young people's wellbeing. We provide youth groups, workshops and 121 support in schools and in the community.
