Job description

At WWT, we are looking for someone with investment portfolio experience to join our Finance, Audit and Risk Committee (FARCom) as a co‑opted member.

What difference will you make?

By providing knowledge and specialist skills to our FARCom, you will help to ensure short and long term viability for the charity.

What are we looking for?

We are looking for people with either a relevant qualification or experience to support FARCom in its responsibilities. We are particularly looking to add investment management experience to our committee. WWT has a significant investment portfolio and we seek someone who can help the committee to hold investment managers to account, and to support the committee and our Board with their financial and ethical investment responsibilities.

What will you be doing?

Our Council of Trustees are responsible for overseeing our strategic direction and managing our finances, resources and risk. The FARCom plays a crucial role in supporting trustees to do this. As a co‑opted committee member, you will bring your specialist skills and knowledge to bear, helping to ensure short and long term viability for the charity. Co‑opted members are not trustees, but play a crucial role in enabling good governance.
