Citizens Advice Hull and East Riding (CAH&ER) is an innovative and successful local service which puts clients first and focuses on delivering high quality advice services. We help people overcome their problems.

In the last year we helped over 22,000 people with issues from debt to benefits advice, avoiding homelessness, to understanding their employment rights and coping with family breakdowns.  Our advice makes a difference to individuals and communities.  Last year we estimate we helped to saved Government and public services £5,545,484, and supported local residents to achieve almost £8 million of financial gains.

We are currently looking forward to the future and developing our services to meet the challenges the people of Hull and the East Riding will face over the next few years.  Your ideas, skills and enthusiasm could make all the difference to how we achieve this.

We are seeking people with strategic vision, independent judgement and a willingness to give time and commitment to being a trustee.

We are particularly interested in hearing from people with knowledge and experience in some of the following areas:

• the legal and advice sector
• developing strategies for increased financial sustainability in the third sector
• how technology and social media can support service delivery and promote the organisation
• A knowledge of/relationship with key stakeholders
• HR and managing people in fast changing times
• An understanding of the economic and social drivers of poverty in society and an ability and interest in supporting Hull and East Riding residents

We are also seeking a Treasurer

We are looking to appoint a Treasurer with an accounting background, who would also be a Trustee. The day to day financial management is delegated to a paid member of staff.

This is a voluntary post.  All reasonable expenses are reimbursed

I decided to be a Trustee at Hull and East Riding Citizens Advice, as I wanted to give something back to my community as a volunteer; the Trustee role suited the time I had available to commit. I also feel it is important to my community that everyone had access to a free, high quality information and advice service regardless of their means.
