<div class="mds-edited-text mds-font-body-copy-bulk"><p>We are currently working with Red Balloon Learner Centre Reading to recruit a new Finance Trustee. Red Balloon is a dynamic education charity based in Reading that supports young people who self-exclude from school and are missing education because of bullying or other trauma.</p>
<p>They provide both an academic and therapeutic programme to enable their students to get back on track and reconnect with society and in addition to offering centre based programmes they also offer a distance learning provision which offers students a bespoke integrated programme of academic education and wellbeing provision, delivered both online and face-to-face.</p>
<p>Red Balloon Reading is now looking to strengthen its Board with a new Trustee who will have responsibility for Finance.</p>
<p><b>Finance Trustee</b> – a qualified Accountant with an understanding of Charity SORP, you will lead the Board’s duty to ensure proper accounting records are kept, financial resources are controlled and invested in line with governance, legal and regulatory requirements.</p>
<p>Trustees have a duty to ensure that the charity is well run, solvent, legally compliant, and working towards the charitable purpose for which it was established, and Trustee roles are an important and highly rewarding way to support an organisation. Please note that Trustee roles are unremunerated voluntary positions, although reasonable travel expenses will be paid.</p>
<p>Red Balloon is committed to equality of opportunity, supports and encourages under-represented groups, and values diversity. We seek people from a wide range of backgrounds, who will bring a fresh perspective to the Board, and having reviewed existing Trustees diversity, skills, and experience, Red Balloon are keen for the Board to reflect the diversity of the communities that they work with and therefore welcome applications from all sections of the community.</p>
