Trustee/Treasurer

Charity: Involve Kent

Location: Mainstone/Hybrid

Role Type: Board

Work Type: Hybrid

Salary: Voluntary role with reasonable expenses paid

Closing Date: 03 October 2025

Time commitment:  Approx 1 to 2 days per month.

Involve Kent is dedicated to building a society where everyone has the chance to thrive. We do this by strengthening connections, supporting independence, and tackling inequalities within individuals and communities. Fifty years on from being founded in 1975 as Maidstone Volunteer Bureau, Involve Kent is pioneering innovative approaches of working alongside children, adults and the wider community. With an ambitious vision for the future, Involve Kent is reshaping perceptions of health and mental health, championing the power of prevention and the life-changing impact of social interventions. Our mission is simple but powerful: healthy, connected people and communities.

So what does the role involve?

Are you looking for a voluntary role that is rewarding and offers you the chance to provide leadership with your financial expertise?

The Board is responsible for our strategic direction and governance, ensuring we achieve our charitable objects and are well run. It is a demanding but highly rewarding volunteer role, one in which you will make a difference to the lives of thousands of people. We are currently looking for an experienced finance professional to join our Board as Treasurer/Finance Trustee and also head up the finance subcommittee. The Treasurer plays a key role in overseeing the charity’s financial health and ensuring the Board can make informed, responsible decisions.

You may be a qualified accountant or have equivalent knowledge gained by experience. We are ideally looking for someone with experience in charity finances who is able to take a strategic approach to financial planning and oversight and to help non-financial colleagues understand these.

Previous trustee experience isn’t required, and you will be supported into the role through an onboarding and induction process.

Diversity and inclusion are at the heart of what we do

We are absolutely committed to equality, diversity and inclusion; it is part of our charitable mission and one of our core values.  We are proactively seeking people from a range of backgrounds to bring a diversity of voices and challenge.  We are particularly keen to hear from people with lived experience of some of the issues we are tackling, including long-term health conditions, disability, poverty, childhood adversity, and a demanding caring role. We value this lived experience as highly as learned experience/education.

If you would like a call to discuss the role or any of the content of this pack in more detail, please email John Sanger to arrange a convenient time at [email protected]. Having a call of this kind will not influence the success or otherwise of your application.

We want you to have every opportunity to demonstrate your skills, ability and potential. If you have a disability or require reasonable adjustments during the application or interview process, please contact us so we can support you appropriately.

Please read the candidate information pack for further information before you apply. Don’t think you quite meet all of the specifications? Please don’t count yourself out – we’d still love to hear from you and learn more about you and your interest in joining Involve Kent!
