Our local groups provide high quality services to our MS community, offering local grants or funding research by donating to our national programmes. Our Finance Volunteers manage the local group’s finances to make sure that funds are spent according to our charitable objectives.

We’re the MS Society – a community of people living with MS, scientists, campaigners, listeners, organisers, ambassadors and fundraisers. Our volunteers are a key part of achieving our goals and their support is vital. Join us.

About this opportunity
We are looking to recruit a Finance Volunteer for our Greenwich Group. As a Finance Volunteer, you would be joining a coordinating team of volunteers to plan and deliver services and activities to support people locally.

The Greenwich Group has a membership of just over 100 and is currently run by a small group of volunteers comprising the Group Coordinator, The Lead Support Volunteer, the current Finance Volunteer and an Administration Volunteer. We meet every two months but have regular telephone and email contact as needed in between times. We are just in the process of setting up video-conferencing to enable face to face contact on a more regular basis.

As a Finance Volunteer you will be responsible for managing the Group's finances, paying bills and expenses, managing Grant income and expenditure and reporting to the Group Volunteers at our meetings. You will maintain and approve income and expenditure records and explain financial information clearly to other group members. You would ensure our financial requirements and policies are followed, and that money is spent in a cost effective manner. The current Finance Volunteer has to stand down due to home commitments but will be available to do a proper hand over to any new volunteer taking up this role.

As we are a relatively small Group, this role will only need about an hour a week of your time to manage our finances and our meetings are two hours long but these are only held once a month (alternatively via a video conference and face to face meetings).

This is a great opportunity to gain experience with a large charity, develop your existing skills and learn new ones. We need you to get involved and help make positive changes to the lives of people affected by MS.

About you
You’ll have an interest in the MS Society and the work that we do, as well as the enthusiasm to represent both us and our values locally. You will understand the needs of people affected by MS in your area and be sympathetic to the needs and motivations of volunteers. You’ll be comfortable with figures, preferably with an accounting or business background.

You’ll need to live in or near the Greenwich area to carry out this role.
