Help shape the financial future of a growing mental health charity
Are you a finance professional with a passion for social impact? Do you want to use your skills to support a thriving, values-led organisation making a real difference in people's lives?
A charity in Enfield and Barnet is seeking a new Treasurer to join our Board of Trustees and provide strategic financial oversight as we continue to grow and innovate in mental health support.
About Us
The charity is a dynamic local mental health charity, proudly affiliated with the national charity federation but operating independently. Since our merger in 2021, we've expanded significantly - supporting over 5,000 people annually and growing our income to £2.19 million in 2023/24.
We are Led by Lived Experience, with over 75% of our staff having personal experience of mental health challenges. Our services span therapy, wellbeing, advocacy, and crisis support, and we are committed to equity, empowerment, and real change.
The Role: Treasurer
As Treasurer, you will play a vital role in ensuring the charity's financial health, sustainability, and transparency. You will:
* Guide and advise the Board on financial strategy, budgeting, and risk management
* Chair the Finance & HR Sub-Committee, ensuring robust oversight of financial and operational matters
* Support the Head of Finance and CEO, offering expert insight and challenge on financial planning and reporting
* Ensure compliance with charity and company law, and that financial statements meet statutory and funder requirements
* Champion good governance, transparency, and accountability across the organisation
Who We're Looking For
We're seeking someone with:
* A professional finance qualification or equivalent senior-level financial management experience
* A strong understanding of charity finance and governance
* Experience managing complex budgets and financial reporting
* The ability to communicate financial information clearly to non-financial audiences
* Experience of chairing meetings and working collaboratively with senior teams
Previous experience as a Treasurer is welcome but not essential - we'll support you with induction, training, and mentoring.
We especially encourage applications from underrepresented or minoritised groups, in line with our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
