AddressEstablished in 2019, Cancer Support Angels is a 100% volunteer-run organisation focused on uniting their network to establish support during some of the most difficult times in patients’ lives.
By providing care packages for cancer patients, facilitating support groups and providing financial support, the team can help bring a sense of comfort and relief to patients and their families.
The Opportunity:
Most Australians have been touched by cancer in one way or another and many of us have joined in fundraising to help cover the costs of others’ treatments, medications, bills and more. Here at Cancer Support Angels, we provide practical, emotional and financial support to patients facing hardship, all whilst being entirely volunteer run. We are looking for a Treasurer to sit on our Board to help prioritise our annual plan and support our strategic goals and enable us to reach more individuals and families in need.
Key responsibilities will include:
Work with the Board on establishing and maintaining clear strategic direction for the organisation
Work with our Board and Founder to ensure that strategic progress and organisational growth is achieved and measured
Provide guidance and support to our senior leadership team
Attend Board meetings (quarterly) or sub-committees as required
Actively contribute to the organisation by leveraging connections, networks and resources.
What we’re looking for:
The successful candidate(s) will demonstrate:
Experience as a *qualified accountant
CFO experience*
Proven experience in Board or Directorship level roles, with a strong understanding of business models and financial acumen
A strong working knowledge of governance roles and responsibilities across legal, ethical, financial and fiduciary responsibilities
Strategic expertise in progressing the development of an organisation
Leadership and management experience, including the ability to support, progress and motivate individuals and ensure that performance is being monitored
Existing relationships and corporate connections to facilitate and support organisational growth and progression.
Of course, ultimately the desire to help others and contribute to the growth and success of our organisation will be paramount.
The role will be an unpaid volunteer opportunity and we ask that volunteers are able to commit to a timeframe of at least 12 months in the role – although we hope that you’ll want to stay with us for much longer!
