Who we are
Apart of Me is a UK registered charity on a mission to ensure no young person has to face grief alone. We create safe, compassionate spaces, both online and in schools, where young people can process their loss, build resilience, and support each other. We address young people’s critical need for accessible, youth-focused mental health support when someone they care about has died.
Our work has three core strands: Apart of Me game, a schools programme and a new interactive, online resource.
The role
We are looking for a finance professional (retired or employed) to join our engaged and friendly board as Treasurer, with specific oversight of the charity’s financial management. While day-to-day financial administration is carried out by employees, the Treasurer works closely with them and the Board to ensure sound financial governance. The Treasurer provides financial leadership, helps trustees understand the organisation’s finances, and ensures that the charity meets its financial and statutory obligations.
You will have a qualification in Financial Management, Accounting, or Audit, and a strong understanding of financial management in the voluntary or business sectors. Previous charity experience is not necessary, but a willingness to undertake training is essential (usually one day).
You will have the ability to communicate financial information clearly to those without financial expertise and be a strategic thinker, with the ability to balance financial scrutiny with broader trustee responsibilities.
Our board meet once a month (either virtually or in person) for around 90 minutes. We aim to have strategy days twice a year. You will also meet with the CEO and Finance Manager once a month, and be available for ad hoc emails, advice. Trustees are usually appointed for a three-year term, which can usually be extended.
We will provide access to training (typically one day) if you do not have direct experience in charity finance.
You will also bring a commitment to the values, aims, and objectives of the charity, and a desire to help children and young people who have experienced grief.
