Join a vibrant Yorkshire-based countryside charity helping disabled people to get 'Out There Together'.

Since 1990, Open Country has been helping people with disabilities to access and enjoy the countryside. The voluntary role of Treasurer is a crucial role in helping us manage our finances responsibly and sustainably. You will serve as a Trustee of the Charity and a Director of the Limited Company, helping us to make informed decisions to allow us to perform our inspirational work.

We have a part-time Finance Officer and use a local firm of book-keepers to prepare our monthly management accounts using Paxton software. Payroll issues are dealt with using the services of another third party. Thus, your input will be primarily at a governance level rather than one of financial administration.

• We seek someone with the following attributes:
• Ability to analyse financial data and assess their financial impact on our charity.
• A great teamwork ethic and willingness to work collaboratively with other Board members and staff.
• Previous financial experience, ideally in the charity sector.
• A strong commitment to Open Country's values and purpose.
