What will you be doing?
Our trustees are drawn from the broad youth work and young people’s services field and come from across the region. All bringing their own knowledge, skills, and experience to guide the organisation in achieving its goals. We are currently facing the challenge of having no nominated treasurer, though we do have a finance officer. The treasurer will need to maintain an overview of the Youth Work Unit’s affairs, ensuring its financial viability and ensuring that proper financial records and procedures are maintained. You will need to have experience of overseeing and presenting budgets and financial reports, liaising with staff and fellow trustees on financial matters, and ensuring accounts are presented in the format required by relevant legislation.
What are we looking for?
You will need to have experience of overseeing and presenting budgets and financial reports, liaising with staff and fellow trustees on financial matters, and ensuring accounts are presented in the format required by relevant legislation. As our treasurer you should be comfortable with accounts and with overseeing our finances but you don't have to have been an accountant or have professional accounts experience, you may have experience in other areas which means you have knowledge and experience of setting and maintaining budgets, working with colleagues paid and unpaid, making financial information accessible to others, and an understanding of compliancy. In general we are looking for positive, enthusiastic and committed treasurer who wants to make a difference whilst being part of the team that enables an organisation to make a difference.
What difference will you make?
As a member of our board of trustees you will be supporting and shaping our work, ensuring the youth sector is supported locally, regionally and represented nationally. As treasurer you'll be supporting the staff team directly and the board to keep us on financial track ensuring we can continue to provide the much needed support we offer for many more years to come.
