Treasurer

We have over 65 local branches, across the UK which help people with a disability live more independently. Our skilled volunteers respond to thousands of requests each year to design and make customised equipment free of charge.

As the volunteer Treasurer for the newly-formed Newcastle branch, you’ll make sure your branch gets the most for its money. You’ll maintain income and expenditure records to document and report on branch finances. You’ll manage their accounts and make financial information easy to understand.

This role will involve a workload totalling an average of 1 day per month, primarily working from home.

WHAT THE ROLE INVOLVES:

The duties associated to this role may vary but are likely to include:

• Book-keeping duties together with Year end reports to REMAP UK

• Supporting the branch’s shared responsibility for designing and delivering to clients in line with our principles of quality service so that they are safe.

• Additional admin and fund raising tasks are available for a willing volunteer.  

We can support you in developing the skills you need for this role, including induction into all the areas outlined. You will have a chance to discuss your role and any additional needs with us.
