Treasurer

For more than 100 years, RoSPA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents) has been working to change both legislation and attitudes surrounding accidents, from the compulsory wearing of seatbelts and the campaign to stop drink driving, to the Cycling Proficiency Test and to the more recent the ban on handheld mobile phones behind the wheel and our Safer by Design framework for house builders.

As a registered charity and through campaigning, carrying out research, influencing legislation, informing, and educating, auditing and providing expert consultancy to businesses, we have maintained our position as the leading advocates for the wellbeing of people everywhere.

We are the only UK charity to work across occupational health and safety, and road, home leisure and education safety, we promote the exchange of life-enhancing skills and knowledge.

We do this through research, campaigning and sharing information and advice. We provide training, consultancy, qualification and products for businesses and professionals to help manage the risks. We are recognised and endorsed by Ofqual, British Standards Institution, NEBOSH, IOSH and City & Guilds.

We have an annual turnover of £7million and circa 80 staff members across, England, Scotland, Wales and other countries. As we embark on our strategy and next stage of development, we are looking for a new Treasurer to join our board.

We are looking for someone with a range of skills and experiences including strategic finance, someone who is passionate about safety and innovation. We are looking for a financially qualified professional with an understanding of charities who can support us to develop further.
Our new Treasurer will have experience in investment strategy, financial risk management, financial systems, pensions, and be an innovator who will support us in horizon scanning, strategy, risk management.

The board meets quarterly (currently virtually), in either London or Birmingham with a strategy away day and four sub-committee meetings a year, our treasurer will attend the Risk and Audit committee meetings. We expect the time commitment for the Treasurer to be between 10-15 days per year. This will include ad hoc phone calls and meetings for consultation, reading board papers and visiting our work when this is safe to do.
