Help shape the future of a national charity changing lives through volunteering

Who we are

At Volunteering Matters, we believe volunteering has the power to strengthen communities, reduce isolation and create lasting social change.

For more than 60 years, we’ve brought people together across the UK through volunteering and social action, supporting people of all ages to build connections, confidence and stronger communities.

We are now looking for a new Treasurer to join our Board of Trustees at an exciting time for the organisation as we deliver our ambitious 2025–2030 strategy.

This is an opportunity to use your financial expertise to help guide a respected national charity, influence strategic decision-making and support meaningful impact across communities throughout the UK.

Why this role matters

As Treasurer, you will play a vital role in helping ensure the long-term sustainability, resilience and good governance of the charity.

You’ll work closely with our Chair, Chief Executive Officer, Board and Finance team to provide financial oversight, strategic support and constructive challenge, helping us make informed decisions that maximise our impact.

This is more than a governance role. It is an opportunity to help shape the future direction of a values-led organisation making a real difference every day.

What you will be involved in

As Treasurer and Trustee, you will:

• Chair our Finance & Audit Committee
• Support the Board in understanding financial performance, risk and sustainability
• Help oversee budgets, reserves, reporting and annual accounts
• Provide strategic financial insight and constructive challenge
• Support strong governance and ethical decision-making
• Contribute ideas, networks and opportunities that help strengthen the organisation
• Help champion the role volunteering plays in creating fairer, more connected communities

You’ll join a supportive, collaborative and passionate Board that is committed to making a positive difference and receive a solid handover from our current Treasurer.

What we are looking for

We’re looking for someone with financial leadership experience and a collaborative, values-led approach.

You may come from the charity, public or private sector and could have experience in areas such as:

• Finance leadership
• Audit or assurance
• Accounting or financial management
• Risk or governance
• Strategic financial planning

Previous Trustee experience is welcome but not essential.

Most importantly, we are looking for someone who:

• Believes in the power of volunteering and community
• Wants to use their skills to make a meaningful contribution
• Can communicate financial information clearly and accessibly
• Enjoys working collaboratively with people from different backgrounds and experiences
• Shares our commitment to inclusion, diversity and anti-racism

What you’ll gain

• The opportunity to influence the future of a respected UK charity
• Experience of strategic charity governance at Board level
• The chance to work alongside passionate and experienced Trustees and leaders
• A meaningful way to use your professional skills for social impact
• Opportunities to connect with projects, volunteers and communities across the UK

We value lived experience

At Volunteering Matters, we believe better decisions are made when different voices, experiences and perspectives are represented.

We particularly welcome applications from people whose lived experience reflects the diverse communities we work alongside.

Interested

If you’re excited by the opportunity to use your financial expertise to help shape stronger communities through volunteering, we’d love to hear from you.

Do you have the experience and the drive to create change that aims to improve understanding, diagnosis and support for Endometriosis? 

This is an exciting time to join the Endometriosis UK trustee board, as the organisation expands and develops to achieve the changes that are needed to support those affected by the disease and to drive down diagnosis time. With trustees coming to the end of their time on the Board, we are looking for a Treasurer and two further Trustees to build on this momentum to strengthen our organisation and bring about change for those with endometriosis. We have a skills-based board, with Trustees having one or more identified skills, with the overall membership of the Board providing the complete set of skills.

Endometriosis impacts on the physical and mental health of 10% of women and those assigned female at birth in the UK, from puberty to menopause - although the impact can be felt for life. Yet it’s a disease most people have never heard of, do not understand and the cause is not known. It costs the UK economy around £11 billion every year in healthcare costs, loss of work and treatments and yet it isn’t recognised by most employers. As the UK’s leading charity for all those affected by endometriosis, we’re determined to change this and ensure that everyone gets prompt diagnosis and the best treatment and support.

We’ve big ambitions in our strategy, focused on supporting those with endometriosis, driving down diagnosis times, campaigning for improved treatments and access to services, raising awareness, and leveraging more money into research. We place people with endometriosis at the heart of all we do, and with an average time to get a diagnosis of over 9 years, the cause of the disease unknown and no cure, there is so much more they need and want. If we get our work right, we really can make a difference to the 1.5 million women and those assigned female at birth with endometriosis in the UK – and all those diagnosed in the future.

The pandemic had a major knock-on effect to the treatment and management of endometriosis. Cancelled surgeries and appointments left those with endometriosis unable to access treatments and support or get a diagnosis. We have a big job to do, increasing the support we provide, reaching everyone affected by endometriosis and ensuring they get the support they need. Despite being small we’ve achieved a lot. But there is so much more we want to do.

1. Treasurer

We are currently recruiting for a Treasurer to join our friendly, dynamic, experienced and effective Board of Trustees. Trustees are recruited based on their skills and experience, and for this role we are particularly seeking someone who can bring strong financial expertise and strategic insight to the Board.

In addition to the Treasurer role listed above, we are also looking for two additional new Trustees to join our board. 

2. Young Trustee

• Recent personal experience of the impact of living with endometriosis whilst at school
• Ability to bring insight and perspective about the experiences of a wide range of younger people living with endometriosis, including diagnosis
  May 2026
• Willingness to take on an advocacy role and to share your story in the media and in other ways to support Endometriosis UK’s campaigning and communications work
• Please note that legally trustees must be over the age of 18 in England and that we will provide support to young trustees who are new to trusteeship.

3. Endometriosis UK Trustee

• Personal or professional experience of diversity and inclusion issues
• Currently living in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland or Wales
• Charity Trustee experience
• Charity Senior Management experience
• HR expertise
• NED experience
• Experience of grant making / philanthropy

Closing date for applications – 9th June 2026

Interviews will be held in June/July, with initial interviews being held virtually on request, carried out by a small panel of trustees.

The role will start at a Board meeting on 28th November 2026, when our current trustees reach the end of their 6-year term of office. Prior to the roles starting, incoming Trustees will have the opportunity to observe a Board meeting in September, and induction will be planned in October.
