Non-Executive Director (Finance Director / Company Secretary) for MHA Jersey

Help Shape the Future of Care for Older People in Jersey

For over 60 years, we have been dedicated to providing high-quality residential care for older people in Jersey. As a well-established local charity and not-for-profit

organisation, we operate two care homes, employ more than 70 staff, and manage

significant investments to support our long-term financial sustainability.

 

We are entering an exciting new phase in our development, having recently

submitted a planning application to extend and refurbish Stuart Court. This major

capital project will significantly enhance our facilities and strengthen our ability to

provide modern, high-quality care for future generations. As part of this next stage,

we are seeking a Board member with experience in raising capital for substantial

projects and securing the financial resources needed to bring this important

development to fruition.

 

Our mission is to provide exceptional care in a safe, compassionate, and supportive

environment. We are governed by a committed Board of Directors whose members

bring a broad range of professional and life experience. The Board brings together a

wide range of professional expertise, and this role requires the ability to

communicate financial matters clearly and work effectively in a collaborative, multi-disciplinary environment.

 

We are seeking an experienced and commercially minded finance professional to

join our Board as a Non-Executive Director with responsibility for Finance and

Company Secretariat.

 

This is an unpaid voluntary role offering a unique opportunity to use your

professional expertise to support a respected Jersey charity that provides high-

quality residential and nursing care for older people.

 

The Role

As a member of the Board of Directors, you will provide strategic oversight and

independent challenge in relation to financial management, governance, and

 Strategic thinking and sound independent judgement

 A commitment to supporting charitable objectives and improving the lives of
