Job description

Role Overview

As Treasurer, you will:

• Provide strategic oversight of our finances, helping us stay sustainable while delivering maximum social impact.
• Support the board in understanding our financial position, risks and opportunities.
• Work closely with our Finance Director and CEO to review budgets and ensure compliance.
• Attend bi-monthly board meetings (in-person in Rotherham), and occasional sub-group discussions as needed.

This is a voluntary position with expenses reimbursed, and a chance to be part of a passionate, mission-driven leadership team making a real difference every day.

Because what we do matters, and how we do it matters even more. We work flexibly, with purpose and compassion. You'll be joining a charity that's grown fast, but kept its soul, and you'll be helping guide us into a financially resilient and impactful future. The role of Treasurer requires some liaison with the CEO and FD in between Board meetings, and attendance at yearly external audit meetings. Our trustees meet around 6 times a year 4.00pm till 6.00pm, in Rotherham, plus occasional half day planning meetings.

Qualifications & Expectations

We're looking for someone pragmatic, with sound judgement and a good heart. Are you:

• A qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent).
• Strong on financial literacy, but just as comfortable with conversations about people, purpose and impact.
• Understanding of the nuances of working in a charity, housing, or regulated care environment, or keen to learn.
• Values-driven, collaborative, and believing in second chances and lasting change.
