Job description

Charity Treasurer

 

About Me2 Club:

Our Vision is ‘Inclusion for All’ children and teenagers with additional needs and disabilities.

Every year, Me2 Club matches over 100 children who have additional needs or disabilities with committed and passionate volunteers to help them attend and take part in mainstream leisure activities. We tackle the impact of exclusion and social isolation experienced by children and young people and help build their confidence, self-esteem and independence.

 

About the role:

As treasurer you will play a pivotal role in ensuring the financial health and transparency of Me2 Club. Key responsibilities include overseeing the financial management of the charity, ensuring that financial records are accurate and up-to-date; collaborating with other trustees and the Chief Executive Officer to develop and monitor the charity's budget; presenting financial reports to the board of trustees at regular intervals; identifying and addressing financial risks that could impact the charity; ensuring that the charity complies with relevant financial regulations, such as filing tax returns and adhering to charity law. The treasurer will also liaise with our independent examiner to prepare the annual accounts.

As a member of the Board of Trustees you will be jointly responsible for the legal, effective and safe running of Me2 Club. Working with other Trustees and the Chief Executive Officer you will provide strategic leadership to a growing and ambitious charity. As one of our ‘guardians of purpose’ you’ll make sure that all our decisions put the needs of children and their families first.

 

To be successful in this role requires these key skills:

  • Financial Literacy and Numeracy: A strong understanding of financial principles, including budgeting, financial reporting, and financial analysis.
  • Attention to Detail & Analytical Abilities
  • Ethical Integrity and Strong Team Collaboration
  • Communication Skills: Effectively communicating financial information to non-financial stakeholders, such as board members, staff and donors. This includes presenting financial reports in a clear and understandable manner.

We would particularly welcome applications from Parents/Carers to help represent and share the views and experiences of children and families, ensuring that they influence decisions at a strategic level and grounding the Board of Trustees in the needs of children and families.
