We are looking for an experienced finance professional to help us through a period of change and growth.

The Treasurer is a crucial member of our voluntary Board of Trustees, and is key to securing the financial health and viability of the charity now and into the future.

• Assure all financial records are kept with proper process and procedures, advising as necessary;

• Ensure accurate annual returns are submitted to the Charity Commission;

This role can be carried out entirely remotely, although in person attendance at our quarterly board meetings would be welcomed.

Deadline to apply: 26 March

 Interviews week commencing 31 March.

Do get in touch if you would like to have an informal discussion about the role

What skills do I need?

You will have financial qualifications (ideally ACA/ACCA), but skills and experience are just as important. Charity finance experience is particularly desirable, whether this has been gained as a Treasurer, accountant, bookkeeper or other finance role.
