Play a leading role in the financial oversight and strategy development of the charity, supporting unpaid carers across Bath and North East Somerset.
What you will do
As volunteer treasurer you will maintain an overview of the organisation’s affairs, ensuring its financial viability, compliance with our charitable objects, company, and charity law and the maintenance of proper financial records and procedures.
You will chair the Finance Sub-Group where you will scrutinise The Carers' Centre’s management accounts and review finance policies and procedures. You will then share your interpretation and recommendations to the Board.
Once a year you will undertake an internal review of one aspect of our accounts. This is separate from the annual external examination of our accounts by Monahan’s.
Please note, for this role you will be required to provide character references and complete a Disclosure and Barring Service check. These will be organised with you by The Carers’ Centre once you are accepted.
