Summary
We need your fresh perspectives and financial know-how to help us support and strengthen voluntary and community groups in Somerset!Detailed description
We’re on a mission to help change lives and build healthy and resilient communities. We do this by supporting and championing voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise (VCFSE) organisations and providing a range of services, training and advice.
We also believe that everyone should have the opportunity to thrive and so we work with local partners to provide volunteering opportunities for all.
Our exceptional Board of Trustees make this all possible, and we're on the lookout for people who share our vision and passion to join them.
We are keen that our board members come from all walks of life, just like the communities we support, and welcome applications from those involved with the organisations we work with to help expand our collective experience and knowledge.
We are specifically looking for a new Treasurer to help oversee the financial affairs of the charity and work closely with our Chair and Senior Leadership team to safeguard our finances and contribute to shaping our future growth.
Whilst previous experience of trusteeship is not essential – you will ideally be a qualified accountant with proven experience in a financial management role. You will also have a strong understanding of accounting principles and be able to confidently communicate and present financial information in a clear and competent manner.
It's a flexible role which involves attending quarterly online and in-person board meetings and occasional finance subcommittee meetings.
If you feel you have the skills, experience and qualities that we're looking for, understand the value of the local VCFSE, and want to make a positive impact in your community through social action, then we would love to hear from you!

The closing date for this opportunity is Sunday 23 February. Interviews are expected to be held during the week commencing Monday 3 March.
