Thinking about using your financial skills to help a small, independent Charity? This could be the perfect opportunity for you.
Underfall Yard Trust was founded in the 1990s as a small team restored Underfall Yard’s slipway and the surrounding buildings. The Trust is now responsible for preserving the whole site, including Grade II and II* listed buildings of historical and architectural significance. The site includes a visitor centre to educate the public on the history of Bristol’s Floating Harbour, and workshop buildings that are let out to independent maritime businesses.
The Trust is restoring the historic structures and rebuilding the workshops to provide spaces for Bristol’s maritime businesses again. They’re seeking an Honorary Treasurer to support this recovery project, alongside other initiatives.
As the Honorary Treasurer, you will play a crucial role in ensuring the financial health and stability of Underfall Yard Trust. Working closely with the Director and team of Trustees, you’ll help deliver the Trust’s strategic goals and ensure compliance with regulatory bodies. Your responsibilities will include supporting the fundraising committee with income-generation strategies and assisting with financial reporting for grant applications. You will contribute to the preservation of this historic boatyard by identifying potential risks and developing a long-term financial plan.
Underfall Yard Trust hopes to hear from enthusiastic individuals with a strong understanding of financial principles, budgeting and financial reporting. The successful candidate will have proven experience managing Charity finances and a solid grasp of statutory and regulatory compliance within the nonprofit sector.
For this role, you don’t need to be a boat enthusiast or an expert on industrial engineering history (but great if you are!). Underfall are looking for someone who wants to make a difference and can lend their time and financial expertise to a local, independent Charity.
This vacancy closes at midnight, 24th November 2024.
