We are looking for a treasurer trustee to join our vibrant and talented board.
At APF, charity trustees play a vital role in making sure the charity is run in the interests of the people it is there to support. They strategically oversee the management of the charity. Read more here: Become a Trustee
Currently we have a vacancy for a treasurer trustee. At APF we are committed to diversity and inclusion across our staff team, volunteers and trustee board and welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, cultures, ages and genders. As we work towards making our board truly representative of the PF community we would particularly like to encourage people from Black, Asian and racialised communities to apply.
We are looking for the following skills:
• Significant budgetary and financial experience (may be a qualified accountant) with demonstrable commercial awareness and knowledge or an experienced charity treasurer who has provided strategic financial leadership to a board of trustees (>£3M+ t/o)
• Knowledge of charity SORP and impending changes
• Proven ability to communicate and explain complex financial information to a non-financial audience
• Demonstrable knowledge and experience of charity fundraising and finance practices, including developing financial policies, risk management and investment strategies
You’ll be working with our Director of Finance to go through papers ahead of board meetings so you feel confident. APF board meetings are a place to ask questions, challenge ourselves to do better and support each other to achieve our best for people affected by pulmonary fibrosis.
We ask trustees to meet up to 5 times a year (sometimes online or if in-person we meet in Peterborough, though we always offer hybrid options) on Saturdays every 3 months. Dates are set a year in advance. We also ask trustees to try and attend an annual staff and trustee away day (again in Peterborough, sometimes with hybrid options).
The role description can be found here: Role Description
The Treasurer Trustee Recruitment Pack can be found here: Recruitment Pack
Out of pocket expenses for travel and training will be covered by APF.
We ask you to register your interest with Jonathan Dawson, Director of Finance and Operations. You can contact Jonathan via jonathan@actionpf.org
If you decide to apply to become a trustee we will ask for a written or filmed statement outlining relevant life experience and your motivation for joining the board, along with a current CV if you have one.
Please note: There is no specific closing date for applications.
Joining a board can take several months, as our trustees are volunteers and we work around board meetings and people’s diaries. Do bear with us.
