Internationally renowned Eyam Museum in the Peak District, Derbyshire, is looking for an experienced finance professional to take on the voluntary role of Treasurer. The successful candidate will join our friendly Board of Trustees and will have oversight of the financial operations and decisions of the organisation - which includes a museum shop - to ensure that funds are managed responsibly and in accordance with priorities.
Museum finances are administered by a qualified part-time Finance Officer who oversees day-to-day payments and receipts, payroll and pension, bank reconciliations and monthly financial reports, and who will support the Treasurer in their role. We are looking for someone who has the experience to advise the other trustees on financial and treasury matters, oversee the setting of an annual budget (c.£150.000) and monitor performance against that budget, playing an active part in the decision making of the trustee body. The Treasurer will also facilitate the annual auditing of accounts.
While emphasising the skills required for these responsibilities, we particularly encourage applications from candidates from diverse backgrounds who are likely to be underrepresented on our Board. We are ideally looking for someone living within easily commutable distance to Eyam.
Eyam Museum’s primary purpose is to tell the story of Eyam Plague (1665 – 66). It is a highly successful organisation - well run, financially secure with substantial reserves and widely respected within the sector. Visitor numbers have quickly returned to pre-COVID levels (at c. 36,000 in 2024) and the organisation is a vibrant and energising place for visitors, staff and Trustees alike. The Museum is a charity and a limited company with a retail arm which is a wholly owned subsidiary company.
The Museum is currently undertaking an ambitious Options Project looking at how best to develop our audiences, collections, retail operation and the building in which they are housed. We are working with professional consultants and received a National Lottery Heritage Fund grant to undertake this work. The project will complete in summer 2025. This is an exciting time to join and to help shape the Museum’s development over the next few years.
This is a voluntary role for a candidate who is willing to participate actively, using their skills and experience to help drive the museum’s vision through exceptional governance.
Further Information
We hold monthly management committee meetings which include both Trustees and key museum employees (the Museum Manager, Curator and Retail Manager). Trustee-only meetings, including the AGM, are usually appended to these Meetings. Trustees are expected to attend a proportion of these meetings in person, joining via Zoom for the remainder. The meetings are held in the evening. Reasonable travel expenses will be reimbursed. Appointments are initially for three years, renewable.
If you think you have the skills and expertise we are looking for then we would love to hear from you.
Application will be via an informal discussion with our Chair and an invitation to send in a CV.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.

We are looking for enthusiastic people to join our trustee committee and help shape and deliver animal welfare in the East and South East London areas.
The RSPCA East London and Havering Branch aims to align its core objectives with those of the National RSPCA — specifically: to rescue, rehabilitate, rehome, and protect animals.
The RSPCA East London and Havering Branch CIO (the "Branch") is seeking to appoint new Trustees to join the Branch Trustee Committee. This is an exciting time for the Branch as we aim to grow and enhance our services across East and South East London.
What does the Branch do?
Our Branch covers postcodes within East and South East London (those beginning with E or RM). We operate boarding facilities where we care for, rehabilitate, and rehome cats rescued by RSPCA Inspectors.
We are an independent charity, working in partnership with the National RSPCA, a separate charity. Together, we deliver the RSPCA's mission — focused on frontline animal welfare and community engagement.
As an independent branch, we fundraise and manage our resources independently to deliver animal welfare services. We receive some financial support and guidance on best practices from the National RSPCA to ensure we comply with Charity Commission regulations.
Future Plans
In the coming years, our plans include:
· Developing and executing plans for sustainable income growth
· Building out our volunteer and supporter network
These plans are continuously reviewed and developed by the Branch Trustees to ensure we focus our efforts on helping as many animals as possible.
What are we looking for?
We are looking for people from all social and cultural backgrounds with experience or skills in any of the following areas:
· Accounting
· Marketing and Communications (including social media, PR, websites)
· Fundraising (including corporate fundraising, trust fund and grant applications)
· Local community and supporter engagement
· Charity growth and development
· Veterinary or animal welfare
· Volunteer management
Alongside relevant experience, we’re looking for people who are committed to the RSPCA’s charitable objectives and share our passion for animal welfare. You should be a creative, innovative team player, bring a fresh perspective, and be able to turn ideas into action.
We are particularly interested in hearing from individuals who live or work in the areas we cover (E or RM postcodes), or who can travel to London for Branch meetings and fundraising activities.
What can we offer in return?
We offer all Trustees:
· Support from both the RSPCA team
· A platform to utilise your skills and experience to shape the charity and directly impact local animal welfare
· An opportunity to gain new skills and develop existing ones while making a real difference
· A chance to expand your professional and personal network by working with like-minded people
Practical Considerations
Please note:
· You must be based in London or can have regular access to London to join our fundraising activities
· You must be aged 18 or over and a UK tax resident to join the Trustee Committee
· You must be a member of our Branch before you are eligible to be co-opted or elected as a Trustee
· Trustees are elected for a 12-month term each year
· Reasonable expenses will be reimbursed
· Trustees must sign a Declaration of Willingness to Act and confirm they are not disqualified from being a Trustee (more information is available on the Charity Commission website)
What difference will you make?
As a Trustee, you will:
· Help shape the strategy and direction of the Branch
· Contribute your unique skills and experience to decision-making
· Work as part of a collaborative and motivated team
· Develop your own skills or pass them on to others
Together, we can make a significant impact on animal welfare in our community.
Please include also a cover letter explaining why you are interested in this role and detailing your relevant skills, knowledge, experience, and motivation.
