Citizens Advice Stroud and Cotswold Districts

Treasurer/Finance Trustee Needed

Do you want to help the community where you live, work or study and gain valuable skills and at the same time make sure your family and neighbours get the advice they need now and in the future?

We are looking for someone with appropriate financial expertise to join the Board and the Finance Sub Committee with a view to taking on the role of Treasurer. They ideally will have an appropriate accountancy qualification but, as importantly, has relevant financial management skills and experience (not necessarily from within the Not For Profit sector) to work alongside our CEO to oversee the financial aspects of the Charity.

We would particularly welcome applications from those with lived experience of poverty and living on a low income, black and ethnic minority candidates, disabled candidates and those from under-represented groups and marginalised groups.

We are also keen to encourage applications from younger members of the community and from those who have accessed Citizen Advice services. Previous Board experience is not required as induction and training will be provided, as is support from Trustees and the staff team.

Time commitment

Overall, the total time commitment for a Finance Trustee is approximately one day per month made up of a couple of hours or so per week which includes chairing the monthly Finance Committee and attending the bi-monthly Trustee Board meeting which typically last a couple of hours and may be online via Teams, or in person, in either Cirencester or Stroud.

Trustees can also participate in other projects which would involve some additional time on occasions.
