Our partner is an established charity providing professional music therapy and music-based wellbeing services across North Yorkshire. Working in schools, care homes, healthcare settings and community venues, it supports children and adults with additional needs, people experiencing mental health difficulties and older people living with dementia.
The Treasurer will join the Board, providing financial oversight, guidance and support to the charity’s long-term sustainability. With day-to-day bookkeeping handled by an Office Administrator, responsibilities include reviewing financial records, preparing quarterly and annual reports, overseeing financial controls and compliance, liaising with the independent examiner, and advising on budgeting, financial strategy and risk management.
The ideal candidate will bring strong accounting or financial management experience, confidence working with financial reports and spreadsheets, and the ability to provide practical financial guidance at Board level. Previous charity finance or governance experience would be valuable, while an appreciation of music and its therapeutic benefits would be welcomed.
The role requires approximately 2–3 hours per week, alongside four Trustee meetings and an AGM annually. Meetings can be attended remotely, although someone based in or around North Yorkshire would be particularly welcome. The outgoing Treasurer is available to provide a comprehensive handover and ongoing transitional support.
