What will you be doing?

The overall role of the Treasurer is to maintain an overview of the organisation’s affairs, ensuring financial viability and ensuring that proper financial records and procedures are maintained. You will work closely with the Chair and the Board of Trustees, the CEO, and the Finance Administrator.

The post-holder will be entering at an exciting time of financial growth for the organisation with a positive financial position, a healthy cashflow and a secure budget for the year ahead.
