Volunteer Treasurer

The Dipex Charity helps millions of individuals and professionals learn about the experience of health and social care. Through our websites healthtalk .org and socialcaretalk .org we publish people’s real stories, as collected by academic researchers.  

We cover more than 100 different health and social care issues and help people feel less alone and better prepared for what they’re going through. Our resources are also used as teaching resources all over the world and in training professionals working in health, social care and the public sector. 

About the role

Due to our current Treasurer’s term of office reaching an end in December 2024, we are seeking a treasurer to join the Trustee board of a small online health charity that helps millions of people each year.  

The charity is at an exciting time, expanding our ways of working and developing new revenue streams. As a Treasurer you will provide support with financial accounting and reporting. In addition, as a trustee you will provide guidance, expertise and support to the team and help ensure that the charity is meeting its aims. There will be opportunities to get involved in discrete projects and you may be asked for ad hoc advice or input from time to time. 

We are looking for someone who can commit to meet with the rest of the trustee board and leadership team four times a year. Meetings last for around 3 hours and usually take place in Oxford on a weekday afternoon.  The Treasurer will also be required to meet with the CEO and finance team (online), prior to each trustee meeting, to finalise quarterly finance reports. 

What are we looking for?  

We are a small and friendly organisation, committed to our charitable aims and to continuous improvement. We welcome applications from all backgrounds. New ideas and perspectives are very important to us. The Treasurer should have good experience and knowledge of management accounting, financial management and organisational governance.  

It would also be advantageous if you have experience of one or more of the following: 

• Charity or non-profit governance 

• Business development 

• Health and social care 

• Academia (particularly qualitative health and social care research) 

• Teaching resources 

The treasurer role is unremunerated, but we will provide administrative support and full induction for the appointee.
