Treasurer sought for much loved charity which meets the multicultural care needs of minority Elders and celebrates diversity. Following our recent major grant success, can you produce a financial overview and advise team on cashflow?

To help the finance committee to:

1. review the draft of the three year business plan and annual budget and make

recommendations on both to the Board of Trustees (known at BEMSCA as the

Management Committee).

2. review performance against plan and budget and to understand and approve any

significant variances in actual performance for the year to date and forecast results for

the full year

3. take responsibility on behalf of the Board for overseeing all financial aspects of

Charity operations so as to ensure short and long term viability

3. approve, within limits agreed by the Board, expenditure of a significant nature on new

initiatives.

4. identify priorities for additional expenditure or for savings as actual income dictates.

Propose options for timely actions to mitigate risks to satisfactory financial

performance.

5. help and guide the finance officer to produce these reports:

Income and expenditure report

Restricted/designated fund movement summary

Cash flow

What are we looking for?

Ideally a qualified management accountant. Experience of financial management in a

charity setting. Ability to train others in producing financial reports. Enthusiasm for the

joy of multi-cultural work and fulfilling the grant conditions of generous awards.

What difference will you make?

The Treasurer will make the crucial difference in translating the financial performance

and planning to Trustees and the team. Following recent substantial grant success, we

now need better financial oversight. BEMSCA is much loved as a community

organisation and will be able to continue for at least another 30 years of celebrating

multi-cultural diversity. You will support and help develop the finance officer, to be

recruited shortly.

Where?

We are based in Fairfield House, 2 Kelston Road, Bath, BA1 3QJ

This is a Remote opportunity, or mainly at home, but we do sometimes meet in person

and you will be invited to attend cultural events

Time?

Either in or out of office hours.
