Overview
This is an exciting moment to join the Board of Trustees at POW Nottingham. As Treasurer, you will play a central role in shaping the next chapter of our organisation, supporting the development and delivery of a new strategic direction. You will bring your financial expertise to bear on work that matters — helping us to continue championing the rights of sex workers and those at risk of exploitation. This is a meaningful opportunity to make a lasting difference through your professional skills.
Overall Purpose
The Treasurer is responsible for overseeing the financial affairs of the Charity in line with best practice, the governing document, and all relevant legal requirements. You will report regularly to the Board of Trustees on the financial health of the organisation and ensure that robust financial measures, controls, and procedures are in place and fit for purpose.
Whilst the Treasurer takes a lead on financial oversight, all Trustees remain jointly and severally responsible for the administration of the Charity.
Key Responsibilities
- Working closely with staff who manage the day-to-day finances of the organisation — currently the Interim Chief Executive and Office Manager — alongside our outsourced bookkeeping accountants.
- Liaising with the Charity's auditors or independent examiner.
- Monitoring the financial viability of the Charity and providing guidance informed by audit findings.
- Developing sound financial frameworks for the management and protection of Charity assets.
- Implementing and overseeing financial controls and systems, and ensuring they are consistently followed.
- Providing financial input into the Charity's new strategic plan.
- Working with the Chair and relevant staff to ensure the annual accounts meet all current regulatory requirements.
- Ensuring the responsible management of the Charity's resources in line with its stated objectives.
- Contributing to the organisation's fundraising strategy alongside fellow Trustees.
- Presenting accounts to the Board of Trustees and other stakeholders in a clear, accessible, and engaging way.
