Inclusive Boards are delighted to be supporting JUSTICE in their search for a new Treasurer and two new Board Members.
About JUSTICE
JUSTICE is a cross-party charity championing UK justice reform. The justice system is a vital public service, and we work to ensure everyone can trust and rely on it.
Over our 69-year history, we have transformed the UK’s legal system for the better, led by evidence, expertise, and a focus on practical solutions. If you share our values and believe that a fair justice system strengthens democracy, builds trust and, in turn, enables all of us to thrive then we’d be delighted to hear from you.
How We Work
- Leading research: Our research highlights key problems and proposes practical solutions, hundreds of which have been adopted.
- Advising policymakers: JUSTICE’s strong reputation across Westminster and beyond is based on the quality and independence of its work.
- Convening experts: Our events, working groups, and roundtables bring together leading experts across a wide range of justice topics.
- Building understanding: Our spokespeople regularly appear in the media to set out why a fair justice system matters and how it can be achieved.
About the roles
JUSTICE is seeking a new Treasurer and two new Board Members. Whilst it is essential that the Treasurer has a high level of financial literacy, it would be highly desirable for the other two new board members to bring credible, senior expertise in fundraising or communications. We are particularly interested in recruiting Board members with experience from outside the legal sector.
Our Treasurer should have specific and significant financial management and/or accountancy experience and will chair our Finance, Risk and Audit Committee. They will provide check and challenge in relation to our annual budget, our accounts and our audit as well as provide strategic advice and assurance to the Board and the Executive Team.
JUSTICE’s Board Members are responsible for the overall governance, strategic direction and long-term sustainability of JUSTICE. Working collectively, they support the organisation in pursuing its charitable objectives, safeguarding its assets and reputation, fundraising and ensuring that it operates effectively and in compliance with all relevant laws, particularly legislation governing charities and companies.
Board Members of JUSTICE are expected to prepare for and attend four Board meetings per year, including a half day “away day”, and in addition to join Board Committees as appropriate which also meet four times per year. Board Members are also encouraged to attend two Council meetings per year, including an in person half-day conference.
