Carer Support Dorset, a local charity supporting and advocating for unpaid carers is looking for someone with financial experience at a strategic level, who would like to make a difference to the lives of unpaid carers by becoming a trustee for Carer Support Dorset.
The charity needs a treasurer and a trustee with financial experience. The role of treasurer needs someone with a good working knowledge of financial legislation relating to the running of a registered charity and is a qualified accountant with minimum of five years’ experience.
Judy Walker is Chief Executive of Carer Support Wiltshire, the parent charity of Carer Support Dorset, said: “Trustees play a hugely important role in running a charity. Volunteering to help vulnerable people in our communities has never been as important, and we know that being a volunteer provides many benefits to an individual, such as improving self-confidence and life satisfaction and combating depression. Many of us have spent the past year perhaps without many opportunities to learn new skills and meet people, so it could be the perfect time to try something new. “Someone might be a carer or former carer themselves, or someone who understands the challenges carers face and shares our aim to create carer-friendly communities where carers are recognised, valued and supported. We welcome enquiries and applications from all.
