OPAL offers accessible, enjoyable and enabling activities for older people in rural West Cheshire, in order to prevent isolation and loneliness. We have been operating for 15 years and, during that time, have expanded our range of services and gained a reputation as a trusted provider. In 2020 OPAL received a Queen’s Award for Volunteering in recognition of the work our amazing volunteers undertake.
We are seeking to recruit a new Treasurer who will monitor the financial matters of the charity and report to the Board of Trustees regarding the financial health of the organisation.
The successful candidate will be a qualified accountant, ideally with both Management and Financial Accounts experience in a small or medium sized organisation, who has the ability to communicate financial concepts to the other Trustees. They will be supported by an experienced Finance Officer who will attend to the day-to-day processing using the Xero software package. An understanding of HMRC requirements and payroll processing would be helpful but the Treasurer will be mainly focussed on direction and governance.
There are 4 Board Meetings and 1 Away Day each year
This is an opportunity to be part of a passionate and energetic team dedicated to improving the lives of vulnerable older people. OPAL has exciting ambitions and you will be involved in shaping and influencing the future direction.
Our financial year runs from 1st April to 31st March.
