Could you be a Treasurer Trustee for the ARC ?

The Arthur Rank Centre is currently seeking a new Trustee with a strong financial background to join us.

The Treasurer Trustee would be expected to meet regularly both virtually and in person with the CEO to plan the  budget in accordance with the strategy set/agreed by the Trustees and CEO, to monitor the ongoing financial spend against the budget and to monitor the charity’s investments.
