We are seeking applicants who will provide independent and effective advice to help the committee fulfil its responsibilities in:
- Monitoring and reviewing budgets, accounts and financial performance and making recommendations in response to identified areas of risk;
- Monitoring and reviewing fundraising plans, investments and ongoing performance and making recommendations;
- Assessing the investment and reserves policies for the organisation and reviewing performance.
Applicants for this role should have experience of senior fundraising roles.

About Samaritans
Our vision is that fewer people die by suicide. Samaritans is the charity that prevents suicide through the power of human connection. We provide compassionate listening services to people in emotional crisis, 24/7. We combine evidence with lived experience to influence decision makers to tackle the underlying causes of suicide.
