About Citizens Advice Test Valley
This local and essential charity provides vital support to the people of Test Valley.
Citizens Advice Test Valley’s incredible volunteers and paid staff help more than 5,500 people with 10,000 issues every year, providing advice that is free, independent, impartial and confidential.
Advice is delivered in person, by telephone and email to members of the public in need of help in areas such as family, housing, debt management and welfare benefits.
What will you be doing?
Working closely with the chief officer and finance officer, you will:
- Explain, guide and advise the other board members on the key assumptions and financial implications of the Citizens Advice Test Valley budgets, operational and strategic plans.
- Ensure that the organisation has a realistic budget that meets the services’ needs and maintains an appropriate reserves policy.
- Ensure that annual accounts are prepared in compliance with SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice) Accounting for Charities and submitted by the deadline to the Charity Commission and/or Registrar of Companies, and make arrangements for them to be audited or independently examined as required.
A detailed role description for our treasurer is available by emailing Ange Moon on co@testvalleycab.org.uk.
What are we looking for? You will not necessarily need to have prior experience of being a trustee, but we are specifically looking to recruit anyone with relevant financial experience which will support them in their role as treasurer.
You could, for example, be operating as a finance manager or team leader within an organisation.
For more information about the role or to have a chat please contact Ange Moon at co@testvalleycab.org.uk to set up a phone call/meeting.
