Treasurer Required for Charity Board
SPCA (St Pancras Community Association) is a community based charity with a turnover of around £250,000, based a few minutes north of St Pancras Station. It works primarily for the benefit of local people and its priorities include reducing isolation among older people, giving young families a good start in life, building community pride and getting local people more physically active.
We need a treasurer to join our voluntary trustees. The treasurer oversees the organisation’s finances but does not need to manage the money directly. She or he will work closely with paid staff to ensure that they set annual budgets appropriately and that spending is properly monitored and audited and that appropriate systems are in place. They will also support other trustees and ensure that they are aware of their financial risks and policies.
The trustee role involves a monthly board meeting and the treasurer typically has one additional and more detailed meeting per year when budgets are agreed and usually a quarterly discussion with the Director or finance officer to check on progress. The treasurer is not expected to keep the books or do all the calculations for budget setting, which are done by paid employees.
