About Edinburgh Direct Aid International
Edinburgh Direct Aid International (EDAI) is a Scottish humanitarian charity dedicated to supporting communities affected by conflict, displacement, and poverty.
For more than 30 years, our volunteer-led organisation has delivered practical humanitarian assistance to people in need. Our current work includes rebuilding schools in Syria, delivering essential supplies to displaced communities in Lebanon, supporting medical and rehabilitation services in Gaza, and providing humanitarian aid in Ukraine.
As a small, entirely volunteer-run charity, we rely on the skills and commitment of people who want to make a meaningful difference.

About the Role
We are looking for a Volunteer Treasurer to help oversee EDAI's finances and support the responsible management of funds that make our humanitarian work possible.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Working alongside our existing Finance Administration volunteer and charity leadership, you will provide financial guidance, review accounts, and help maintain effective financial controls.
Key Responsibilities
- Review financial records and reports prepared by our Finance Administration volunteer.
- Support financial planning, including budgets, project expenditure, restricted funds, cash flow, and reserves.
- Advise on financial controls, payment approvals, and appropriate record-keeping.
- Lead the preparation of annual accounts for independent examination, with support from the charity's leadership.
- Provide financial updates at Board meetings and the Annual General Meeting.
- Offer occasional financial guidance to volunteers and project teams.
About You
We would welcome interest from individuals with experience in accountancy, financial management, audit, bookkeeping, or financial reporting.
You should be comfortable reviewing financial information, communicating clearly, and providing practical advice to a small organisation.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Experience in charity finance, restricted funding, or Scottish charity reporting requirements would be particularly valuable, but previous charity experience is not essential.
Flexibility
Much of the work can be undertaken remotely, and we aim to accommodate volunteers' existing professional and personal commitments. However, as EDAI is based in Edinburgh, the ability to attend in-person training is required.
You will be supported by an established team of volunteers who have extensive experience of EDAI's operations and humanitarian programmes.
