Summary
CPRE Somerset, the countryside charity, needs a new Honorary Treasurer to ensure we have strong financial management for the future.Detailed description
This is an excellent opportunity to play a senior role in a respected local environmental charity. CPRE will celebrate its centenary in 2026 so you will be joining at an exciting time! You will be applying your accounting skills and experience to make a real difference, and to be part of a friendly and committed group.
You will be home-based, within the administrative county of Somerset (not B&NES or North Somerset) .
This role is very flexible and should take, on average, around 1 hour per week plus attendance at meetings every couple of months. Meetings are held in daytime on weekdays - some in person and some online.
Ideally, we hope that you can offer us:
• experience of setting and managing budgets
• good organisational and book-keeping skills
• ability to present financial information clearly
• computing skills, including spread-sheet packages, email and internet
• the ability to work as a team member with a group of committed volunteers
• can attend regular meetings or, when not possible, can provide updates for meetings
• an interest in the countryside
Our current Treasurer would like to stand down in late 2025, so we anticipate this role beginning in December 2025 or early 2026, if possible. The Charity Manager and the outgoing Treasurer will help to get you started and support you as you learn the ropes.
Once we hear from candidates, we can arrange an informal chat to start with and take the application process from there.
