Trustee opportunity at Charterpath
Help charities thrive by connecting them with the financial expertise they need.
Join Charterpath as a Trustee and help shape the future of a growing charity that is transforming how finance professionals volunteer their skills.
This is an exciting opportunity to connect and engage finance professionals in volunteering by offering your own skills to a charity. You do not need to be a finance professional (we have got that covered!). Above all, we’re seeking someone enthusiastic, collaborative and committed to our mission.
So, if you have experience in charity sector leadership, community-building, marketing, digital engagement, or have senior finance or corporate partnership networks – we’d love to hear from you!
Who are Charterpath?
At Charterpath we recognise that thousands of charities struggle to access the financial expertise they need to thrive. At the same time, thousands of finance professionals are looking for meaningful ways to contribute their skills.
Our charity, founded in 2021, has the social purpose of increasing the number of finance professionals who volunteer to bridge that gap. We help charities build financial resilience while creating rewarding opportunities for volunteers.
What matters to Charterpath?
The mission of Charterpath is to inspire more finance professionals to volunteer their time and skills. We want to connect non-profits with diverse and expert volunteers, so volunteering is part of every finance professional's career.
We deliver our mission through three values: Inspire, Connect and Engage.
