Job description

The Treasurer provides oversight and leadership in all areas of financial governance. While the day to day management of finances is handled by our staff team and external providers, you will act as a trusted partner to our CEO and Finance Manager, helping to set our financial strategy, review performance, and ensure that the Board fully understands the charity’s financial position. You will lead discussions around budgeting, reserves, and risk management, ensuring our decisions are grounded in both ambition and sustainability.

Our Board meets once a month for around 90 minutes, either virtually or in person, and we hold two strategy days each year. Between meetings, you will stay connected with the CEO and Finance Manager, providing guidance and advice as needed. The Treasurer will also take a lead role in the Finance Subcommittee, reviewing our accounts, policies, and forecasts before they are presented to the wider Board.

Our current Board is a small but passionate group of trustees, bringing together expertise in finance, education, media, HR, wellbeing, and digital innovation. Several trustees have lived experience of childhood bereavement, which strengthens our empathy and understanding of the young people we serve. The Board is chaired by Matt Williams, Executive Digital Editor at ITV News, and includes professionals from a wide range of sectors who are united by a shared purpose to transform how young people experience grief.

Our outgoing Treasurer, Liz, will be stepping down at the end of 2025, following a planned handover period. Liz has helped to put strong financial systems in place, and we are now looking for someone who can build on that foundation as we enter a new phase of growth.

This is an exciting time to join Apart of Me. Our award winning therapeutic game has reached over 150,000 young people across 50 countries, and our impact is growing rapidly. With recognition from the NHS and a vibrant community of volunteers, we are ready to scale our work to reach more bereaved young people who struggle to find support elsewhere.

As Treasurer Trustee, you will play a vital part in making that possible. Your financial insight will help us plan boldly but wisely, ensuring that every decision supports our mission to help young people turn pain into compassion for themselves and others.
