Job description

What difference will you make?

As Treasurer, you will play a vital role in safeguarding the financial health of our organisation. Your professional insight will help us manage resources responsibly, strengthen our sustainability, and ensure that our services continue to reach those who need them most.

What are we looking for?

We are looking for someone who shares our values and is ready to contribute their expertise to a collaborative and dedicated Board of Trustees. This is a chance to make a meaningful difference, while also gaining valuable governance experience and supporting the growth of a responsive, survivor‑focused charity.

Attributes

• Financial literacy and confidence with budgets.
• Ability to interpret financial information and explain it clearly.
• A qualified accountant (or equivalent, qualified by experience), ideally with experience in charity finance. Training will be provided where experience of charity finance is not already in place.
• Strong attention to detail and organisational skills, integrity, independence, sound judgement, and commitment to the charity’s mission, values, and safeguarding standards.

Inclusion and Accessibility

We are particularly keen to attract candidates who share our commitment to fostering an inclusive culture and who are passionate about advancing equity, diversity, and inclusion in all aspects of our work. We are also committed to providing reasonable adjustments to ensure a fair and accessible recruitment process. Applicants are encouraged to let us know of any support needed to enable full participation.

Benefits

• A warm, inclusive, and supportive introduction to the organisation.
• The fulfilment of making a genuine difference, helping ensure survivors across Gloucestershire and beyond access the support and services they need and deserve.
• The opportunity to play a key role in the next phase of development for a vital, survivor centred organisation.
• The chance to develop your leadership capabilities while gaining valuable governance experience.
• The power of working collaboratively to achieve more than could be achieved individually.
• A meaningful opportunity to apply your skills and experience within the voluntary sector.

Responsibilities

By sharing your professional skills and financial insight, you will help ensure we continue delivering personalised support, practical advice and ongoing care to the women and children we support.

The new Treasurer will be a key member of the Board of Trustees, responsible for providing strategic financial oversight and ensuring that Honour Thy Woman Group manages its resources responsibly, transparently, and in line with UK charity law.

Our Treasurer will regularly report to the Board of Trustees on the organisation’s financial position and overall financial health. The Treasurer will also ensure that robust and appropriate financial controls, systems, and procedures are in place and operating effectively.

While the Treasurer holds specific responsibility for financial oversight, all Trustees remain jointly and severally responsible for the governance and administration of the Charity and share collective accountability and liability.
