Treasurer volunteer roles
We are looking for a highly experienced finance leader to join the UK’s leading campaign for assisted dying law reform, as their Treasurer. This organisation campaigns for a change in the law so that terminally ill, mentally competent adults can have the choice of a safe, legal assisted death. This opportunity to join their board comes at a pivotal time for them, as the assisted dying Bill continues its journey to becoming law.
Position: Treasurer
Location: National
Time commitment: 1-2 days per month
Remuneration: Reasonable expenses paid
Key skills required: Accounting, Financial Oversight, Governance, Risk Management, Knowledge of Healthcare or Legal Sectors
They are a not-for-profit limited company with a sister charity. Both organisations have a shared aim of improving dying in the UK by putting people in charge of decisions about the end of their life, but work towards their shared aim in different ways.

The ideal Treasurer candidate will bring experience within the healthcare or charity sector, with a passion for patient choice. We are looking for someone with accountancy qualifications (or demonstrable experience). Prior Board experience is not essential.
Board members are required to attend five meetings per year, most of which are virtual or hybrid, with an away day held in person. In addition, the Treasurer chairs the Finance and Audit Sub Committee (FASC), which meets five times per year virtually.
With the organisation likely to see huge cultural and legal shifts around end-of-life care and choice in the coming years, all Board members need to be innovative in their approach to help build sustainable funding stream. The Treasurer will in addition have the following responsibilities:
- Oversee the finance functions of the organisation and ensure they follow accepted accounting practice
- Oversee the production of management accounts including annual budgets and quarterly forecasts
- Assist the Chair and CEO in ensuring that the board fulfils its duties and responsibilities for proper financial governance by providing advice to the board and senior management team on the financial implications of strategic decisions
