Job description
Home-Start Clackmannanshire are looking for a dynamic individual with financial management experience to join our board of trustees as treasurer.
What will you be doing?About us:
Home-Start offers guidance, friendship and practical support to families across Clackmannanshire who have at least one child under the age of twelve. We work with families to help them overcome issues impacting their lives, through a range of family support services. Our families are each unique, however common issues we support include: isolation and loneliness, mental health difficulties, bereavement, family breakdown, addiction, and physical ill-health. We’ve been supporting local families across Clackmannanshire since 1988. The Home-Start team (staff, volunteers and trustees) are committed to ensuring that children are given the best possible start in life as #childhoodcantwait.
The role of our trustees:
Charity trustees are responsible – and accountable - for the governance and strategy of their charity. They are responsible for making sure that their charity is administered effectively and can account for its activities and outcomes.
As treasurer:
As treasurer, you will have oversight of our accounts, and the financial controls system. You will also provide guidance on finance matters to the Trustees. You would be supported by our CEO and administrator in all of this.
Our turnover is growing year on year, to ensure we can continue to meet ever increasing local need. Funding is made up of a mixture of local authority funding, trusts and foundations, corporate donors and fundraising efforts, and income from our charity shop. However, with a difficult funding landscape, we are looking for a treasurer to work with our CEO and fellow trustees to safeguard the smooth running of our charity finances.
Your main responsibilities would include:
If you have skills and experience in financial management, we’d love to hear from you. You might be an accountant, or have general financial skills and knowledge developed through working in the public, private, or third sectors, or through volunteering.
What difference will you make?Volunteers are the heart of Home-Start, and so in return for your time and commitment, you will be fully supported in role by our Chair. A full induction will be provided, and opportunities for both training and networking are also available.
All reasonable travel expenses will be reimbursed.
