Treasurer

The Counselling Partnership Charity is looking for an experienced finance professional to help us through a period of change and growth. 

The Treasurer is a crucial member of our voluntary Board of Trustees, and is key to securing the financial health and viability of the charity now and into the future.  

You will have financial qualifications (ideally ACA/ACCA), but skills and experience are just as important.  Charity finance experience is particularly desirable, whether this has been gained as a Treasurer, accountant, bookkeeper or other finance role.

You will be joining a very friendly board and welcomed by a committed team of 8 part-time staff. 

This role can be carried out entirely remotely, although in person attendance at our quarterly board meetings would be welcomed.

The Role

To oversee the financial management, viability and compliance of the charity:

• Present management accounts, overview and guidance to the quarterly Trustee Meetings in a clear and concise way;
• Assure all financial records are kept with proper process and procedures, advising as necessary;
• Ensure accurate annual returns are submitted to the Charity Commission;
• Maintain an annual budgeting process;
• Support fundraising initiatives, grants and Gift aid as needed;
• Provide advice to Charity Manager and Bookkeeper on an ad hoc basis (occasionally during office hours);
• Participate with other Trustees in the governance and strategy of the Charity.

The Treasurer works closely with the Chair, Charity Manager, and is supported by a Bookkeeper.
