The role
As Treasurer, you will oversee the financial governance of BBS UK, working closely with the Board of Trustees, Operations Manager, and external accountant.

Confidence interpreting financial information and explaining it clearly to non-financial colleagues
-
Understanding of financial controls and good governance
-
Ability to think strategically and identify financial risks
Desirable:
-
Experience in a charity or not-for-profit setting
-
Understanding of restricted and unrestricted funds
-
Experience working with budgets or management accounts
We particularly welcome applications from people with lived experience of BBS or a connection to the BBS community, though this is not essential.
As a BBS UK Trustee, you will have:
-
Induction, training, and ongoing support
-
Reasonable expenses reimbursed
-
Opportunities to develop new skills and contribute at a strategic level
-
The chance to make a meaningful difference to a rare disease community
-
Opportunities to collaborate with dedicated trustees, staff, and partners
Time commitment
-
Attendance at four Board meetings per year (online, approximately 3 hours each)
-
Reviewing financial information monthly or quarterly
-
Additional input around budget setting and year-end accounts
-
Attendance at our annual conference weekend (in person; expenses covered)
If you would like an informal conversation about the role before applying, we would be very happy to arrange a chat with our Chair.
BBS UK is committed to equality, diversity and inclusion, and we welcome applications from people of all backgrounds who share our values and want to support our community.
By applying for this role you confirm that you are willing and eligible to act as a trustee of BBS UK, that you understand the charity’s purposes and governing document, and that you are not disqualified from acting as a trustee under charity law, including due to relevant unspent convictions, insolvency restrictions, regulatory removal or disqualification, director disqualified from acting as a trustee under charity law, including due to relevant unspent convictions, insolvency restrictions, regulatory removal or disqualification, director disqualification, or other legal prohibitions.
