Trustee

We are looking for a Trustee to join our Board to lead financial oversight as Chair of the Finance Sub-Committee. You will advise the Board on financial strategy and compliance and work with the Head of Finance to oversee budgets, financial reporting, the audit process and overall risk management. You will have significant senior experience in financial management, a recognised accounting qualification and a strong strategic outlook and collaborative leadership style.

Primarily a receiving venue, our concert hall, theatre, studio, cinema and galleries enable us to present a huge range of work from high profile artists to those starting out, from commercial promoters to small-scale funded artists and companies. We are home to the internationally acclaimed Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra and several arts organisations who use our venue to deliver arts activities and cultural training. Lighthouse is a not-for-profit charitable trust and receives funding from Arts Council England as a National Portfolio Organisation (NPO) and from BCP Council to support its charitable aims. Lighthouse is committed to a diverse board that promotes equity, diversity and inclusion.

While experience of working in an arts venue is not a requirement, a passion for and active interest in the performing arts is essential. Trustees undertake a non-executive, voluntary role, and a minimum term of three years’ commitment is required. In return, we provide a lively, friendly and interesting place to contribute to, a unique opportunity to help progress an ambitious organisation and of course opportunities to experience many wonderful performances.

Initial interviews: Early June
