West Midlands, United Kingdom MUSIC OF LIFE Full time

Treasurer

Music of Life, a charity that provides specialist music services to disabled and disadvantaged children and young people, is recruiting for the key role of Treasurer to join our active and engaged Board. Our trustees bring different skills to the Board but share a common commitment to making a difference for our beneficiaries, who have complex multiple disabilities and come from disadvantaged backgrounds.

The work of the charity is delivered by highly qualified musicians who are passionate about using music as a tool to unlock potential and help young people find their voice and gain more control over their own lives. Some of our music practitioners have personal experience of disability; all of them have vast experience in working with children with special needs and disabilities in various settings.

Most of the families we support face financial hardship and do not know where to look for qualified musical help. We work with children over several years to build incremental impacts and support them with enhanced vital skills as they become adults. The long-term nature of our activities makes us unique in terms of the depth and quality of our work providing a deeply impactful experience for our young people and a positive ripple effect that can be seen both in their education and in their communities. Please refer to our application pack for more details about our work.

Who we would like to recruit

Qualifications and Skills:

Our successful candidate is a qualified accountant with Management Accounts experience, and also Financial Accounts experience - ideally in a small or medium sized organisation. They will be able to demonstrate knowledge of Charity SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice) and Restricted Funds vs. Unrestricted. They will also have the ability to communicate financial concepts to other Trustees and the CEO. They will be responsive, reliable and efficient.

Availability, workload and tasks:

The successful candidate must be based in the UK and have availability to attend some Board meetings in London in person. The workload varies from month to month with most input being required in January-February preparing the year end accounts, liaising with the Examiner and setting up templates for coming year. Preparation of year end estimates and the budget for the coming year is done in August/September and finalised in December
