Treasurer

Do you have skills in, or are learning about financial management, accounting or a related field?

Do you have strong analytical skills and a keen eye for attention to detail?

Do you have 2hrs a week to spare?


If the answer to the above is YES, then why not join our passionate, dedicated team in the role of Treasurer?


SiMY is a vibrant and dynamic organisation who are celebrating our 25th year supporting young people and their families in Townhead, Glasgow. We are committed to improving the mental, physical, and social wellbeing in the communities we serve. We offer after school clubs, school holiday programmes, and in school activities that prioritise time in nature, enabling participants to benefit from scientifically proven health benefits. This includes activities such as forest and hill walks, climbing, biking, wild swimming, gardening, outdoor cooking and creative art sessions.


As our Treasurer, you will play an exciting role in ensuring the financial stability and integrity of our organisation. You must be able to dedicate approximately 6-9 hours per month to the role and you are required to attend our monthly board meetings which take place in the evening. The majority of these meetings are held over Zoom however you will be required to attend face to face meetings at times too. In person meetings usually take place in our Firhill St office in Maryhill or at Lister St Bowling Green in Townhead where our activities take place.


Your duties will include;
Overseeing the financial affairs of the charity and reporting to stakeholders,
Producing necessary financial reports/returns: budgets, forecasts and accounts,
Ensuring proper records are kept and that effective financial procedures and controls are in place.


The role of Treasurer will afford you the opportunity to hone the skills you already have which in turn will help secure the long term financial wellbeing of a much loved small charity based in Townhead. You will meet and work along side an enthusiast and diverse group of staff and volunteers, all of whom are extremely passionate about the work we do and the impact that it has on the young people we work with.
