Join the Board as Treasurer at ScotsCare, a historic charity making a real impact for Scots in London.
Applications close on: Monday 24th March 2025.
Location: London EC1Y 2AJ
Time commitment: Approximately 1 day per month
About ScotsCare
ScotsCare has provided vital support to Scots and their families in London for over 400 years. Starting from our roots as a mutual aid society during the Great Plague, we have evolved into a modern, comprehensive support organisation offering financial grants, advocacy, mental health services, sheltered housing, and social programmes.
In 2023, we merged with Borderline, the charity for homeless Scots in London, to create a one-stop-shop of services for vulnerable Scots in London, particularly focusing on preventing homelessness and breaking cycles of poverty.
Our evolution from a traditional grant-giving charity has been transformative. We now provide comprehensive, wraparound support services that address the complex challenges facing Scots in London. Our work spans multiple areas of intervention: providing financial grants, advocacy support for navigating welfare benefits and housing issues, offering specialised psychotherapy services, including substance misuse, and maintaining sheltered housing across three London sites.
With an investment portfolio of £47.5 million and rental income from our properties, we maintain a strong financial foundation to support our mission. We operate three sheltered housing sites across London, providing 97 flats for those in need. Our volunteer programme, with 65 dedicated volunteers contributing over 5,400 hours annually, enables us to extend our reach and impact.
Looking ahead, we’re focused on expanding our mental health services, strengthening our family support initiatives, and enhancing our digital capabilities to better serve our community. Our commitment remains steadfast: to end the cycle of deprivation experienced by Scots and their families within a 35-mile radius of Charing Cross in London.
About the role
As our current Treasurer comes to the end of their term, we are looking for a new Treasurer who will Chair our Audit Sub-Committee and sit on our Investment Sub-Committee.
We are looking for someone passionate about supporting Scots in London, who is a qualified accountant with senior leadership experience and has a strategic mindset. You will work closely with the Investment Sub-Committee to oversee our £47.5 million investment portfolio, which is crucial for funding our charitable activities.
Who we are looking for
The ideal Treasurer for ScotsCare embodies more than just financial expertise. You will bring a nuanced approach to financial leadership, characterised by genuine collaboration and emotional intelligence. This role requires a strategic partner who truly understands the charity’s mission. You will demonstrate an ability to provide constructive challenge, offering insights that support.
Communication is key, so we are looking for a Treasurer who is personable, approachable, and able to work seamlessly with our Chief Executive and finance lead. More than just overseeing finances, this person will be a trusted advisor who brings both professional rigor and a genuine commitment to the charity’s goals, helping to drive ScotsCare’s vision forward while maintaining financial prudence and supporting its important work for Scottish communities.

Do you believe passionately in the importance of helping disadvantaged children succeed in school?
Like us, you probably recognise that children cannot succeed alone. They need the support of both their family and their school to thrive.
The School and Family Works develop family-focused therapeutic interventions which bring all three together and are proven to work. As Chair, you would play a pivotal role in driving this mission forward.
About The School & Family Works
Our vision is to create communities of change across London that transform the lives of children facing adversity. We journey together with school and community partners, children and their families. We know that lasting change for children will only be achieved when both the family and the school can integrate insights and change.
The current environment in both the not for profit and educational environments has a huge impact on our funding and fundraising requirements. As our current Chair steps down, this leaves us with a mix of opportunities and challenges. We recognise that the funding landscape is changing in both sectors, and to support our ambition to expand into new geographical areas we will need to increase and diversify our income streams. There is an incredible opportunity here to develop a proven approach that works so well with children and their families and explore its wider potential.
About you
- Knowledge of securing funding from corporates and/or high net worth individuals and/or Trusts and Foundations
- Experience and success in continually improving governance and developing Board performance
- First-hand experience of the charity sector, whether as a trustee or in a professional context.
- You may not have direct experience of working within a charity like The School & Family Works, but you will have an understanding and passion for our children and young people and share our ambition.

Your support will help us to grow and support more families, our families are extremely important to us, we support amazing children and young people fighting big issues due to neurodiversity or trauma resulting in mental health issues, we work hard as a team to fund staycations so our families can breathe and take a break so they can recuperate to face the challenges they so unfairly face.
