Treasurer to the Committee

Role details

This is an exciting opportunity to join the Committee of Family Nursing and Home Care (FNHC) for the role of Treasurer.

Experience of working with a Charity is desirable but not essential. We do not have complex accounts, but we do have multiple income streams.

The commitment for the role is approximately 4 hours per month, but this may vary between 2 and 8 hours, dependent on workload at the time. As part of the hours, the Treasurer will need to attend most of the Committee meetings (usually around 5-6 meetings per year – mostly held in the late afternoon / early evening), to keep up to date with current developments and update the committee on financial matters. Accordingly, this role requires dedicated time and effort to prepare for meetings in a timely manner.

FNHC provides a full face-to-face induction programme to new Committee members along with a comprehensive committee induction pack

Committee members play an important voluntary role in setting strategies and policies, ensuring that systems of performance management are in place as well as risk oversight and strong internal controls.
