Treasurer

Use your skills and experience to help protect the welfare and human rights of British citizens detained abroad.

Prisoners Abroad is a UK-based human rights and welfare charity providing humanitarian aid, advice and emotional support to people affected by overseas imprisonment. We assist British citizens during their incarceration, when they return to the UK and need access to resettlement support, and we also support their family and friends throughout the trauma.

We are looking for someone with a recognised financial qualification or substantial relevant financial experience to be our next treasurer, to ensure an effective handover from our current treasurer who comes to the end of their maximum term in 2025.  

As treasurer you would:

• Provide strategic financial advice, support and challenge to the board, chief executive and head of finance
• Take an active role, working with staff on quarterly finance reports and statutory accounts and chairing the finance committee which meets quarterly
• Help us deliver our strategy, focusing on increasing impact and sustainability through strengthening our income steams and having a secure financial position

We would particularly like to hear from people who:

• Are looking to be part of the leadership of an established and highly respected charity
• Have, or are seeking to develop, experience in a non-executive role
• Are willing and able to devote the necessary time (see time commitment in the pack)
• Care about British citizens overseas and feel motivated by our vision, mission and values
