Age UK Isle of Wight is a local independent Charity that has been supporting older islanders for 50 years. We are looking for a Treasurer to be the lead Trustee for the financial governance of our Charity.
The Role
Ideally, you will have a financial or accounting background. Alternatively, you may be qualified by experience perhaps having held finance roles in banking, local government, the NHS or other sector.
If you have experience of financial operations in a charity that would be of particular interest although a willingness to learn about financial governance and accounting in the charity sector is essential. If you haven’t previously held a volunteering role don’t worry as we provide support and mentoring to help new volunteer trustees to settle into their role.
The feedback we receive from all our volunteers and trustees is that they find being a volunteer enhances their own lives as well as the lives of the people that they support so why not consider joining us?
We are very happy to receive applications from persons living on the mainland and will reimburse travel expenses in order that you can attend meetings on the Island although we do hold meetings virtually too so can be flexible about the requirement to attend meetings in person.
We are also seeking several new Trustees from different backgrounds to bring a range of skills and life experience to support and strengthen our Board.
If you would like to find out more about becoming a Trustee or our new Treasurer to help make a difference to the lives of older Islanders then please contact amy.gallop@ageukiw.org.uk or visit our website to download an application pack at bit.ly/AUKIWorkForUs
