IGHS an independent educational charitable trust is seeking a strategic finance leader to join the Board of Trustees and become the Chair of the Finance & Sustainability Committee.

 

What will you be doing?

With the sale of a recent property, the IHGS is at an exciting juncture. After several years of modest activity, the revenue from this sale gives the organisation the opportunity to plan a return to growth and expansion.

We are looking for a qualified Accountant (or equivalent) with significant experience in strategic financial management and, ideally, an interest in genealogy and / or heraldry.

You will bring strong commercial and analytical skills, a collaborative mindset, a balanced approach to risk, and a passion for the IGHS’ mission to provide training and support to heraldic and genealogical research.
