Treasurer - Oxfordshire Youth

Oxford, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom
Unremunerated
Trustee
Closing on 18 November 2024

We are working in partnership with Oxfordshire Youth, a boundary-breaking youth development charity, passionate about creating a future for and with young people that gives them the best possible opportunity to realise their potential. 

Oxfordshire Youth support the youth sector across the county, working with grassroots leaders; it delivers innovative youth leadership programmes; and it provides a transformational supported accommodation service for young people. In everything it does, OY aims to meet the needs and aspirations of young people. All the charity’s work is grounded in best practice safeguarding and youth work principles and practice.

We are seeking a new Treasurer to join OY current board to provide high level oversight of the financial affairs of the organisation and ensure they are legal, constitutional and within accepted accounting practice.

As a Treasurer you will have:

  • Experience as a finance professional with a good understanding of business and financial planning, and financial management
  • A good knowledge and experience in fundraising and finance practice relevant to voluntary and community organisations (this is not essential) 
  • Good financial analysis skills
  • Experience in advising others on financial matters, and being prepared to ask good questions that enable the board to have solid insight into the organisation's financial picture
  • An ability to have strategic financial oversight without stepping on the toes of the finance executive - the Head of Finance


What do you get out of being a OY Trustee?

  • Being a Trustee is a great way to ‘give something back’ 
  • Developing your skills in leadership, influencing, debating, negotiating, strategic and organisational planning. 
  • You will have the opportunity to meet, network and learn from people who will have different professional backgrounds and life experiences to your own.
  • Providing opportunities for training and development


This is a wonderful opportunity to join a charity dedicated to supporting young people.    

We welcome and encourage applications from people of all backgrounds. We do not discriminate on the basis of disability, race, colour, ethnicity, gender, religion, sexual orientation, age, veteran status or other category protected by law. 

If you have the skills, experience and vision to join Oxfordshire Youth as their next Treasurer, please submit your application including you CV and supporting statement as soon as possible.

Closing date for applications: 18 November 2024
Interview date with Charity: 4 December 2024
