The Intensive Care National Audit and Research Centre (ICNARC) has an outstanding national and international reputation for clinical audit and clinical and health services research.

We are now looking to recruit a Treasurer/Trustee to join our Board. The Treasurer will oversee the financial matters of the charity in line with good practice and in accordance with the governing document and legal requirements, charity commission and company requirements.

Principal responsibilities of the Treasurer:

• Overseeing, approving and presenting budgets, accounts, financial statements and financial reports to the Board of Management alongside the Chief Operating Officer and Financial Controller
• Being assured that the financial resources of the organisation meet its present and future needs and are within the charities objects.
• Supporting the Chief Operating Officer in the development and implementation of appropriate financial, reserves and investment policies
• Providing guidance to the Chief Operating Officer to ensure compliance with the requirements of Company Law

Time commitment

The Board of Management meets four times a year and is supplemented by a range of sub-committees which enable the Board to carry out its role of developing the strategy of the organisation, ensuring its sound governance, and holding the SLT to account for delivery of its agreed policies and goals in accordance with its stated values. In addition to the formal governance structure. These sub-committees, including the ARSC, also meet quarterly in advance of the Board meetings.  Trustees are expected to provide advice and support to the SLT in accordance with their professional background as required.

Help build, support, and inspire the SUNSHINE volunteer family

SUNSHINE is a brand‑new charity with a bold mission: to replace loneliness with belonging and spark a grassroots joy movement across London and beyond. Volunteers are the heartbeat of this mission — and we’re looking for a dedicated Volunteer Manager to help us recruit, welcome, support, and empower the people who will bring SUNSHINE to life.

If you love people, organisation, and creating a warm, supportive culture, this role is at the centre of our movement.

Why this role matters

SUNSHINE is built on human connection — and that starts with our volunteers. Your leadership will ensure that:

• Volunteers feel welcomed, valued, and part of something meaningful.

• New team members are recruited, interviewed, and onboarded with care.

• Everyone knows what they’re doing and feels supported doing it.

• Communication is clear, warm, and consistent.

• SUNSHINE grows with a strong, joyful, people‑centred culture.

You will help shape the community that powers the charity.

What you’ll do

You’ll take the lead on building and supporting our volunteer team by:

• Recruiting new volunteers across a range of roles.

• Leading interviews and helping select the right people for the mission.

• Designing and delivering onboarding and induction processes.

• Helping create training materials and support resources.

• Keeping volunteers informed, engaged, and motivated.

• Creating simple systems for communication, check‑ins, and updates.

• Helping build a culture where volunteers feel like part of the SUNSHINE family.

This is a hands‑on, people‑powered role where your warmth and organisation make a real difference.

What we’re looking for

You don’t need formal HR experience — just heart, clarity, and a love of people. You’ll thrive here if you are:

• Friendly, organised, and great at communication.

• Confident interviewing and welcoming new people.

• Passionate about building community and belonging.

• Good at creating structure and keeping things running smoothly.

• Motivated by purpose, not ego.

• Excited by the idea of helping build a charity from the ground up.

If you love supporting people and helping them shine, you’ll fit right in.

What you’ll gain

• A leadership role in shaping SUNSHINE’s volunteer culture.

• The chance to build systems and processes from scratch.

• A warm, supportive, values‑driven environment.

• Real influence over how the charity grows.

• The joy of seeing volunteers thrive because of your support.

This is a volunteer role — but it’s also a legacy‑building role with long‑term impact.

Ready to help build the SUNSHINE family?

If you want to help create a joyful, welcoming, people‑centred volunteer community, we’d love to hear from you.

Let’s build something beautiful together.
