Board à Grande-Bretagne

We are looking for a new treasurer for our trustee board, a passionate individual who supports our strategy and objectives, and will bring energy and enthusiasm, helping us excel at what we do.

We are seeking a candidate with considerable professional financial expertise, underpinned with a formal first tier accounting qualification. Business experience of the charity sector from either an employed or voluntary capacity would be an advantage.

After nine years on the board, our treasurer will finish his final term in September 2026. We want to appoint a new treasurer in early 2026 who will observe our board meetings in March and June, meet our auditor during our audit in May and is able to join the board from September 2026.

The role of treasurer is to maintain ongoing involvement in the organisation’s financial management and represent the trustees on financial matters. This includes regular oversight of the finances, assisting staff in ensuring that Green Alliance fulfils its financial obligations, and advising staff and trustees on financial policy and strategy.

In addition to the wider responsibilities of a trustee, the duties include:

• Providing direct support and advice to the operations director and executive director on financial matters, as required.
• Maintaining an understanding of the overall financial picture and attending quarterly board meetings to report to trustees.
• Understanding the implications of Green Alliance’s policy and business plans on the finances.
• Making recommendations and advising staff and trustees on financial strategy, to maximise resources, minimise risks and improve performance.
• Presenting the audited accounts to trustees at the AGM.
• Chairing meetings of the finance and management committee (see below).
• The role of treasurer requires some additional time commitment, compared to other trustees, at around eight to ten days a year.
