About the Orpheus Centre
The Orpheus Centre is a charity and college which supports young disabled adults aged 18-25 to learn essential life skills, gain formal qualifications and prepare for future employment.
There are currently 66 students with 21 living on site in Godstone, Surrey. Students come from across the UK and all have a love of the arts.
Started by lyricist and musician Sir Richard Stilgoe, the organisation offers learning, care and development opportunities at the college and in the wider community, working with professional artists, businesses and other charities.
The overall aim is to equip the students with the skills they need to live as independently as possible and to pursue their chosen careers.
Our core values are to be Joyful, Bold, Inclusive, Resilient and Determined. These values are the foundations for all our work and are what the organisation stands for.
Why should you apply?
Orpheus is a vibrant Independent Specialist college for young disabled adults who have a passion for the arts and a desire to live independently. Orpheus believes that disabled people should have the same opportunities as their non-disabled peers.
The Board of Trustees are looking for a new Trustee who is passionate about our vision to empower and equip young disabled people with the skills and confidence they need in order to live independent and fulfilling lives in the community.
Time commitment
The time commitment is between 7 and 12 days per annum, including four Board meetings including the AGM (mainly in person), four committee meetings (mainly virtual), one or two awaydays and ad-hoc attendance.
What will you be doing?
The Board of Trustees is responsible for the overall governance and strategic direction of Orpheus, developing the organisation's aims, objectives and goals in accordance with the governing document and with legal and regulatory guidelines.
The role of the Finance Trustee includes all the above, but with a particular focus on the financial stability and wellbeing of the Orpheus Centre. As a member of that committee, you will play a full and active part in the work of the Finance and HR Committee, and in ensuring that the Board fulfils its responsibilities for the governance of the Orpheus Centre in relation to finance and HR. You will also work closely with the Chief Executive, Director of Finance & Operations and Head of HR (as well as with the Board Chair and the committee Chair) to support them in achieving the aims of the Orpheus Centre in the areas of finance and HR.
Your responsibilities will include:
monitoring the charity's financial management, and seeking assurance that ensuring expenditure is in line with Orpheus objects;
liaising as necessary with the Chair of Trustees, Chair of Finance and HR Committee, Chief Executive, Head of Finance and Head of HR;
supporting the Finance and HR Committee and Board to monitor Orpheus' financial viability;
monitoring the financial processes and procedures for the control of Orpheus' assets;
advising on the financial implications of Orpheus' strategic plan;
reviewing the annual accounts and, if necessary, liaising with the Orpheus Centre's external auditors to ensure the accounts are compliant with current SORPs;
reviewing the auditors' representation letter and monitoring and advising on any necessary remedial measures;
ensuring that you undertake a thorough induction programme;
monitoring progress in implementing decisions taken at committee meetings and keeping in close touch with the work of the Finance and HR Departments in general - while always respecting the boundary between the respective roles of executives and non-executives;
assessing and monitoring risks relevant to the finance and HR functions of the Orpheus Centre; and
monitoring and scrutinising performance data within the Finance and HR Departments., If you have any questions or would like to arrange a call to discuss the role, please contact the Orpheus Centre to speak to our Head of HR.
