Our Treasurer is standing down after many years of loyal service, and we are looking for a replacement to join our team so that we can keep serving the needs of residents and promoting Hassocks for the benefit of residents and local businesses.
The key tasks include:
Liaising with our accountants to complete formal annual accounts
Maintaining our accounts and reconciling them regularly, use of online banking.
Production of management accounts as necessary
Maintenance and storage of financial records for six years, safe disposal of old records - (hopefully Google Workspace based by the end of this FY)
Annual reporting to the Charity Commission and Companies House
Advising the Board of Trustees regarding liquidity etc.
The candidate would need to be comfortable to carry out online banking and would ideally have a background which makes them familiar with accounting. Computer literacy is essential.
The role takes about half a day a week on average, plus a monthly Board meeting which you would be required to attend. The meetings usually take place on a Friday evening and last 1.5-2 hours. Currently the meetings are held over Zoom.
If you have the time and the skills, we’d love to hear from you. This is a crucial role so there will be a full and gradual hand-over of responsibilities and lots of support while you find your feet. Come and join the team and support your community!
