At Volunteering Matters, we believe volunteering has the power to strengthen communities, reduce isolation and create lasting social change.

For more than 60 years, we’ve brought people together across the UK through volunteering and social action, supporting people of all ages to build connections, confidence and stronger communities.

We are now looking for a new Treasurer to join our Board of Trustees at an exciting time for the organisation as we deliver our ambitious 2025–2030 strategy.

This is an opportunity to use your financial expertise to help guide a respected national charity, influence strategic decision-making and support meaningful impact across communities throughout the UK.

Why this role matters

As Treasurer, you will play a vital role in helping ensure the long-term sustainability, resilience and good governance of the charity.

You’ll work closely with our Chair, Chief Executive Officer, Board and Finance team to provide financial oversight, strategic support and constructive challenge, helping us make informed decisions that maximise our impact.

This is more than a governance role. It is an opportunity to help shape the future direction of a values-led organisation making a real difference every day.

As Treasurer and Trustee, you will:

• Chair our Finance & Audit Committee
• Support the Board in understanding financial performance, risk and sustainability
• Help oversee budgets, reserves, reporting and annual accounts
• Provide strategic financial insight and constructive challenge
• Support strong governance and ethical decision-making
• Contribute ideas, networks and opportunities that help strengthen the organisation
• Help champion the role volunteering plays in creating fairer, more connected communities

You’ll join a supportive, collaborative and passionate Board that is committed to making a positive difference and receive a solid handover from our current Treasurer.

What we are looking for

We’re looking for someone with financial leadership experience and a collaborative, values-led approach.

You may come from the charity, public or private sector and could have experience in areas such as:

• Finance leadership
• Audit or assurance
• Accounting or financial management
• Risk or governance
• Strategic financial planning

Previous Trustee experience is welcome but not essential.

Most importantly, we are looking for someone who:

• Believes in the power of volunteering and community
• Wants to use their skills to make a meaningful contribution
• Can communicate financial information clearly and accessibly
• Enjoys working collaboratively with people from different backgrounds and experiences
• Shares our commitment to inclusion, diversity and anti-racism

What you’ll gain

• The opportunity to influence the future of a respected UK charity
• Experience of strategic charity governance at Board level
• The chance to work alongside passionate and experienced Trustees and leaders
• A meaningful way to use your professional skills for social impact
• Opportunities to connect with projects, volunteers and communities across the UK

We value lived experience

At Volunteering Matters, we believe better decisions are made when different voices, experiences and perspectives are represented.

We particularly welcome applications from people whose lived experience reflects the diverse communities we work alongside.

Interested

If you’re excited by the opportunity to use your financial expertise to help shape stronger communities through volunteering, we’d love to hear from you.

Our trustees and non-executive directors play a vital role in making sure that the group achieves its core purpose. They oversee the overall management and administration of the charity. They also ensure that there is a clear strategy and that our work and goals are in line with our vision.

Just as importantly, they support and challenge the CEO and executive team in the exercise of their delegated authority and affairs, to enable Thrive Social Housing and Emerging Futures CIC to grow and thrive, and through this, achieve our mission.

The Board operates under the leadership and guidance of the chair and works in partnership with the chief executive officer and the executive team.

Board members are expected to always act in the best interests of the organisation and its stakeholders, and to use their background knowledge and skills to work with the chair and other board members to ensure that the Board, supported by its committees, carries out its responsibilities effectively and lead from the top in demonstrating our culture, values and behaviours.

Board members have a collective responsibility. This means that trustees always act as a group and not as individuals.
