Become a Transform trustee and enable independence and change for over 1,600 people each year

Are you an experienced finance leader driven by a desire to make a real difference?

Do you want to collaborate with highly effective leaders to empower people to live independent, fulfilling lives?

If so, we want you on our Board of Trustees!

Transform Housing & Support provides safe housing and vital support for over 1,600 homeless and vulnerable people across Surrey and surrounding areas each year. You can read about some of their experiences in our client stories.

Could you be a Transform Trustee?

We are currently seeking a new trustee to provide senior, strategic finance leadership on our engaged and energetic Board. We are on the hunt for someone who will bring strong professional insight but also enthusiasm and creativity to this organisation, which genuinely changes and saves lives.

If you are a highly experienced finance leader, we’d love to hear from you. This experience could include:

  • Current or former CFO / Finance Director of a sizeable organisation;
  • A senior finance leader with significant executive board or executive committee experience;
  • An experienced portfolio non-executive director with a strong finance background;
  • A senior finance professional from professional practice with broad commercial and sector experience.

What's in it for you?

While trustee roles are voluntary, the rewards are significant. You’ll gain:

  • Valuable strategic leadership experience
  • an induction package and ongoing training and development
  • Reimbursement of expenses, including travel, childcare/care for dependents
  • The chance to be part of a supportive and passionate Board

Most importantly, our trustees tell us that the greatest benefit is contributing to transforming the lives of the thousands of people we support.

Are you ready for a unique chance to govern an ambitious organisation?

We strive to reflect the diversity of the clients we support so particularly welcome applications from candidates from black and minority ethnic backgrounds, individuals with disabilities and members of the LGBTQ+ community.

Trustee spotlight: Katie Wadey

Katie Wadey, Chief Product and Commercial Officer for Wesleyan – a Birmingham-based financial services mutual company for doctors, dentists and teachers – became a Transform Trustee in 2019.

I am continually proud to be a Transform trustee. Our Board is lively, creative and diverse, and I’ve grown so much professionally by learning from others’ perspectives.

The most rewarding part is seeing the passion of Transform colleagues and hearing directly from clients who say we’ve changed – even saved – their lives. To know you’ve played a part in that is priceless.
