The Vacancy This role is with End Youth Homelessness Cymru, partnering charity of Llamau. Please apply through the link below and also send a covering letter to <a href="mailto:careers@llamau.org.uk" target="_blank">careers@llamau.org.uk</a> The treasurer is a trustee with a specific role on the board. The treasurer takes on specific duties agreed by the other trustees in a role description. There is an expectation that the Treasurer will hold a recognised financial professional qualification and be experienced ideally in both an operational and strategic capacity. The overall role of a treasurer is to utilise their professional knowledge and expertise to support EYHC's Board trustees to carry out their financial responsibilities ensuring EYHC's financial health and viability. We will also value the treasurer's input into wider operational discussions. The Company At Llamau we believe that no young person or vulnerable woman should ever have to experience homelessness. Our mission is to eradicate homelessness for young people and vulnerable women. But for thousands of the most vulnerable people in Wales, homelessness is a frightening reality. 30 years ago Llamau was founded to provide homeless teenagers with a safe place to stay. Since then, we have supported over 67,000 young people, women and their children who are either homeless or facing homelessness. Many people think the job of a homelessness charity will be to provide accommodation - a safe place to stay. But it is very clear to us that for most people who are facing homelessness, their problems are far more complex than a lack of permanent shelter. That's why we treat everyone who needs our support as an individual. We recognise their unique strengths and needs and make sure that they are supported to rebuild their futures. Our Values We are a values-led organisation which puts the people we support at the heart of the organisation. Our values mean that we can offer the highest quality support and empathy. Our values are: <ul> <li>We Respect</li> <li>We Listen</li> <li>We Encourage</li> <li>We Learn</li> <li>We Don't Give Up</li></ul>
