We are delighted to be working with Restore, an Oxfordshire-based charity that has been offering employment support to people with mental ill-health since 1977. Restore supports people - through recovery groups, coaching and learning - to take control of their own recovery, develop skills, and progress towards their own goals to live more fulfilling lives. It works within the community to increase knowledge, awareness and reduce stigma associated with mental ill health. Restore is also home to the Oxfordshire Recovery College for therapeutic peer learning and is an expert provider of formal mental health training.

Restore are now seeking to appoint a Treasurer, to join the Board to support the organisation to achieve its goals. They will have a strategic role ensuring that the organisation complies with its purpose, charity law and company law and that the organisation pursues its objectives as defined in its governing document.

The Treasurer will have relevant accounting/finance experience to oversee all financial aspects of Restore, on behalf of the Board, to ensure its short and long-term sustainability. They will partner with the CEO and Head of Finance and Administration, along with chairing the Finance sub-committee to ensure that Restore operates within the financial guidelines set out in current legislation, by the charity commission and in Restore’s governing document.

Aside from specialist skills, the successful candidate will need excellent communication skills with great leadership qualities, the ability to confidently lead the Board, promote a collaborative team, deliver the vision of the charity and bring people together.

The successful candidate will need these essential skills:

• Some Board-level or governance-related experience
• Strategic vision and sound independent judgement
• Creative thinking and problem solving
• An understanding of legal duties, responsibilities and liabilities of trusteeship
• A commitment to and passion for Restore’s aims and objectives 
• Integrity, objectivity, accountability, honesty and leadership.

Restore has been a fairly diverse board over the years and are still looking for ways to improve. The Board recognises the need to be entirely representative of the community it serves in Oxfordshire and surrounding areas and is keen for the board to reflect it.  We welcome and encourage adult applicants of all ages, gender, ethnicity, sexuality, sexual orientation, socio-economic background, religion, neurodiversity and lived experience. 

Time Commitments:
You’ll need to be able to:

• Attend quarterly board meetings from 4:30pm to 7pm. 
• Attend the Annual General Meeting (AGM) alongside the CEO once per year.
• The Treasurer will Chair the Finance Sub Committee
• Trustees will join a Sub Committee linked to skill set, in order to get a proper feel for what is going on and contribute to discussion and decision-making.
• Make visits to recovery groups and head office teams to ensure you stay close to the services we are providing
• Correspond by email to discuss items and make decisions between meetings
• Attend other activities/fundraising events. 

Meetings are currently hybrid, where attendance can be in person or online. Restore are aware that people who are working full-time or have family/other responsibilities may not always be able to travel to the meetings in person. It is important that Trustees are able to visit services, attend at least some meetings in person and have a connection with the community to which we deliver services. With this in mind, it’s unlikely that you will be based outside of Oxfordshire and its surrounding counties. 

Tenure: 
Trustees can join at any time during the year but are formally appointed at the November AGM for a three-year term at a time which can be extended twice (plus an extra year by agreement).

If you feel you have a passion for mental health and the aims of this charity, we would like to hear from you. Your application should include your CV and supporting statement.

Closing date: 2 November 2025 - Please apply asap as the client will be reviewing candidates and may close earlier if a suitable candidate is appointed

This is an exciting opportunity to apply your HR skills in a ministry context, working with ministers of religion and staff committed to delivering LCM's strategy. You'll provide thought leadership, support restructuring and change management processes, and enjoy the fulfilling dimension of working to the glory of God and the salvation of souls. 

Working in a prayerful, supportive, mission-focused environment, you'll be a part of ensuring LCM can effectively reach those least likely to hear the gospel through strategic HR leadership and pastoral support.

The successful candidate must be able to demonstrate:

• CIPD qualified to Member level or equivalent 
• Experience in delivering HR services as part of an internal HR team 
• Experience advising managers and staff across the full employment life cycle 
• Experience of review, design and implementation of HR policies and projects
• Strong Christian faith and prayer life – a committed and practicing Christian.
• Right to work in the UK.

You will be part of a charity that has daily and weekly staff prayer meetings, monthly team days that include worship and teaching, and lots of opportunities to live out your faith. If you possess this unique blend of gifting and skills, along with a deep desire to support LCM’s mission to reach those who may be less likely to encounter the message of Jesus in London, then we would love to hear from you.

Please see the Candidate Pack for more details.

One opportunity can change everything.

A small loan can spark a business. A digital bank account can build a future. A savings group can support a whole village. At Opportunity International UK, we believe in the power of tools and trust - and now, we’re looking for a new Chair of Trustees to help guide the next chapter of our story.

We’re a Christian charity with deep roots in financial inclusion, equipping people across Africa with the means to lift themselves out of poverty with dignity. Our Microfinance Plus model brings together access to finance, digital innovation, agricultural support and hands-on training. And we’ve seen how these tools transform families, futures and whole communities.

As Chair, you won’t just lead our Board. You’ll shape strategy, strengthen culture, and support our senior leadership across both Opportunity International UK and our investment subsidiary, OMIL. You’ll champion governance, nurture donor relationships, and bring wisdom and encouragement to our partnerships, from HRH The Princess Royal to cocoa farmers in Ghana.

This is more than a governance role. It’s an invitation to be part of something bold, hopeful and deeply impactful.

We’re looking for someone with strategic leadership experience, a strong Christian faith, and a deep commitment to inclusion and impact. Experience in the charity sector or inclusive finance is helpful, but most of all, we’re looking for someone who believes that everyone deserves the chance to thrive.

If that sounds like your kind of place, we’d love to hear from you.

Your expression of interest should include your CV and supporting statement.
