Treasurer needed for women's literature charity

2 weeks ago

StocktononTees, Stockton-on-Tees, United Kingdom Reach Volunteering Full time £35,000 - £50,000 per year

The Tees Women Poets support women of all backgrounds in the Tees Valley to build personal & professional skills through writing and performing poetry. Operating since 2011 but newly a charity, we need a good treasurer to keep us right.

What difference will you make?

You will help us help up to 200 women a year find their voices, and their confidence,; process their challenges and stories, take up space and become truly themselves. Our participants have gone on to start their own cultural events, build businesses as creative writing tutors and therapists, set up their own residencies in community venues, win competitions, have books published, and have even performed poetry at the United Nations in Geneva.

What are we looking for?

We are looking for a woman living, working, or with strong links to Teesside.

Treasurer Essential Skills

  • Highly numerate, organised, and detail-focused
  • Experience of bookkeeping charity or company accounts of at least £35k pa income
  • Commitment to women's rights and empowerment

Desirable Skills

  • Accountancy qualification
  • Experience as a trustee
  • Interest in poetry/community arts

What will you be doing?

What You'll Do

  • Attend quarterly trustee meetings - either in person or online - taking 90mins - one of these is the AGM and will be longer
  • Read all meeting papers in advance
  • Contribute a very short treasurer's report for the Annual Report - end of year accounts will be prepared by an external accountant
  • Help the director prepare the quarterly management accounts - approx 2 hours quarterly
  • Help the director pay invoices monthly - currently the director pays freelance staff, and the treasurer pays the director - approx 30-60 mins monthly
  • Attend one 'vision day' per year - usually in person and with lovely food - and contribute to discussions on the strategic direction of the charity - this may be rolled together with the AGM

Why You'll Love It
We are not a stuffy charity We are a bunch of fun, funny, creative, passionate, and widely-networked women who love the arts and what they can do for society. Not all of us are poets, we have artist-advisors or 'Guardians' who join meetings and bring that expertise; but we are all creative in our own ways and believe in the power of creativity to change and heal lives. We are also intersectional feminists; inclusive of trans and gender non-conforming communities, working class, neurodiverse and disabled voices, survivors, and looking to connect more with communities of colour. We care about both craft, and community.

What We're Looking For
A woman with an intersectional feminist frame of mind and a thorough confidence with financial record-keeping. Accountancy expertise would be a huge bonus, especially an understanding of how to draw up and maintain cash-flows and management accounts. You may also have some entrepreneurial expertise around the monetisation of intellectual property, or opportunities for selling services.
