Buckinghamshire Disability Service (BuDS) is a leading disability charity operating across England.. The role of Co-Treasurer will be pivotal for the charity as it moves forward from a county to a national charity.
What will you be doing?
BuDS is an independent pan-disability organisation which is not tied to Government, NHS or council contracts. Our visionary aim is to abolish disability by building a world which is Fair4All, free of the barriers which disable people. We are led by disabled people and committed to the social model of disability.
We have decided to recruit Co-Treasurers because we recognise that the role will be easier to manage if divided between two individuals.The Co-Treasurers will be Trustees of BuDS and will need to embody our values and ethos. BuDS values diversity and inclusion and encourages everyone who meets the needs of the role to apply, regardless of their background or circumstances.
What Does the Role Entail?
The role of Co-Treasurer is expected to involve a time commitment of around 2-3 hours per week, a combined total of 4-6 hours between the two post-holders. BuDS works remotely and flexibly using Microsoft Teams, so much of the work can be done at your own pace at times which suit you best. Meetings are kept to a minimum as all the Trustees are busy people.
Working closely with the Co-Chairs and Co-Secretaries, and split between the two Co Treasurers, the five key responsibilities will be:
- The charity’s financial health and managing financial risks or hazards
- Supporting grant or contract applications and funding proposals
- Supervising financial admin and ensuring best practice and compliance
- Supporting the move to a Charitable Incorporated Organisation
- Curating the Annual Accounts
What are we looking for?
These are the skills and experience we think are needed for this role, divided between the two Co-Treasurers. We are keen to develop people’s knowledge and skills through training and mentoring.
Essential:
- Strategic budgeting and forecasting
- Microsoft Office 365 applications for remote working
- A flexible, positive, problem-solving and organised approach to tasks
- Commitment to the social model of disability
- Lives in England
Desirable:
- Accountancy qualifications
- Charity finances and reporting and the SORP
- Knowledge about Charitable Incorporated Organisations
- Lived experience as a disabled person or someone with a close personal connection
What difference will you make?
Our Trustees’ lived and professional experience of disability will help keep us on the right path as we grow. Trustees also have a key role in ensuring that our Values permeate the organisation at all levels, including within the Board itself.
Change and growth is a challenging time, and the continuing strategic and oversight role of Trustees will be critical to BuDS’ continuing success, with the officers (Co-Chairs, Co-Secretaries & Co-Treasurers) playing a pivotal role. The decisions to which you’ll be asked to contribute will be important
