Dalkeith CAB seeks a Treasurer
Can you help us make Dalkeith a stronger, fairer community?
Dalkeith CAB is looking for a volunteer Treasurer to serve on its Board of Trustees to support effective stewardship of resources for our charity which provides free, confidential, impartial advice and information on benefit, debt, housing, employment and other issues.
Experience in bookkeeping and financial management, preferably with some knowledge of Charity finance is essential, but most important is a commitment to working with others to achieve the Citizens Advice vision of a fairer society for all.
The Board meets bi-monthly (currently via video) and Trustees are asked to commit 4-6 hours per month to the charity. Training is provided and out-of-pocket expenses are reimbursed. Ideally, Trustees should live or work in Midlothian, or have a connection or interest in the area where the CAB operates.
The Treasurer will additionally commit an additional hour or two per month liaising with the CAB Manager and/or staff responsible for financial functions to be aware of the ongoing financial picture, offer support and advice where needed, and help address any concerns that arise. They will also report financial information to the Board and support them to understand and apply financial information to Board decision-making.
This is an excellent opportunity to share skills and knowledge, gain experience of committee-work, governance and informing policy, while making a positive contribution to communities in Dalkeith and District.
