· Continues to meet our commitments to the communities we serve in accordance with our charitable objectives
· Follows the law, including preparing reports and accounts to send to the Charity Commission
A NEW TREASURER
Our current Treasurer has been serving on the Board since 2021 and has supported the organisation through a difficult economic climate and has helped shape and improve the way in which trustees monitor income and spend through a system of key performance indicators that are reported on. His commitment, time and financial knowledge he has brought to the role has been valued and made our financial reporting more robust over the years. Upon stepping down the incumbent is willing to support the incoming treasurer over a period of time to ensure a smooth transition into the organisation.
We are therefore seeking an experienced and committed individual to join the Board and take up the role of Treasurer. Ideally someone who lives or works in the borough but more importantly has an understanding of charity finances and has possibly had a previous role as Treasurer.

· Advising on the financial implications of KCSC’s strategic plans
· Keeping the Finance and Personnel Sub Committee and the Board informed of its financial duties, responsibilities and obligations
· Advising on the preparation / submission of financial reports to funders and the Charity Commission
· Overseeing and advising on financial risk and financial management of KCSC
ABOUT YOU
You will have experience of charity accounting and able to provide guidance on ensuring the organisation adheres to charity accounting principles and policies. Previous experience of being on a charity board would be preferable although not essential. However, a commitment to the furtherance of the voluntary and community sector and its role within civil society and subscribing to our stated mission and values is important.
THE COMMITMENT
The Treasurer will need to commit to attending a total of 8 Board/Sub Committee meetings a year as well as spending a few hours each month on attending additional internal meetings with CEO/Director of Operations/Chair on financial matters.

We only agree in those cases where the charity can clearly demonstrate that the waiver is in the best interests of the charity
