Job Details
- Previous Trustee/Treasurer experience not required
- An interesting and rewarding challenge
- Remote working possible
Our partner provides free impartial, independent and confidential advice on a wide range of issues to help the local community overcome their problems. The advice service, in areas such as housing, benefits and consumer rights, is delivered by a team of trained volunteers.
They are seeking a finance professional, either working or retired, looking for an interesting and rewarding challenge. The Treasurer is a Trustee officer of the Trustee Board and not a paid worker.
You will have a strong financial background, be able to explain financial matters and the financial consequences of the strategic plan clearly and succinctly based on sound analysis.
While a financial qualification is desirable, relevant experience is more important. Empathy with the types of issues faced by the local community is also important.
Board meetings are held 8 times a year, currently remotely, and the total estimated time commitment is approximately 2-4 days per month. Remote working is possible.
Please note that this is a volunteer role and there is therefore no remuneration.

Company
Accounting for International Development (AfID) offers every type of accountant, from anywhere in the world the opportunity to use their skills to support a broad range of non-profit organisations globally. Volunteer assignments of between 2 weeks and 12 months, &/or longer permanent placements, form part of our ongoing strategy to build the financial management capacity of charities in over 50 countries.
AfID have now arranged assignments for over 1000 accountants from over 50 countries, providing over 250,000 hours of one to one support to more than 500 non-profit partners.
Our partners, which are a blend of international charities and grassroot NGOs, such as street child centres, hospitals, micro-finance institutions, conservation projects, women’s empowerment programmes and schools, are all doing amazing work to tackle extreme poverty and inequality but due to limited resources are unable to access vital financial management training.
The main focus of all AfID assignments is to develop the skills, confidence and potential of local people, enabling organisations to ultimately have the financial management capacity they need to deliver more sustainable programmes to their many beneficiaries, whilst maintaining good relations with their donors. Volunteers could be budgeting with a street child centre in Kampala (Uganda), coaching a hospital bookkeeper in Kigali (Rwanda) or financial reporting for a primary school in Kathmandu (Nepal).
