St Margaret's House is a community Arts and Wellbeing Centre in Bethnal Green. We believe in the transformative power of the arts and community connection to impact people’s physical and mental health and wellbeing. We are currently looking for a volunteer treasurer to join our trustee board. As Treasurer, it’s your responsibility to ensure that SMH’s money is safe, properly used and accurately accounted for. Each trustee shares in the collective responsibility for understanding and overseeing SMH’s finances. The co-CEOs will present a draft annual budget in February each year to be agreed and approved for April onwards. Trustees will see management accounts at each trustee meeting which detail how the budget is being spent. The Treasurer acts as the Chair of the Finance Subcommittee, which meets when required.

The role holder will need to demonstrate experience in bookeeping and accounting. You do not need to have been a trustee before but be confident in leading and advising financial processes for charities, an understanding of how charities function and lead with the organisation's mission and values.
Develop new skills, gain an understanding of how charities work, become an advocate for creative health, work with a dynamic and enthusiastic staff team and board.
Trustees meet four times a year in two-hour, evening board meetings at our venue (in Feb, May, Sept and Nov), as well as at a weekend strategy day with all staff in June. The Treasurer would also be expected to lead the Finance Subcommittee which meets in shorter online meetings between the formal full board meetings.
