Treasurer trustee

Bring your financial expertise to our engaged and committed board of trustees 

Unlock has achieved a great deal for the people we support and that is testament to the talents of our dedicated team of staff, volunteers, and trustees. Through listening and engaging with people who face difficulties because of their criminal records we have an impressive track record of identifying issues, finding solutions, and putting them into practice. We also influence policy and create systemic change. 

We have an opportunity to join our engaged and committed board of trustees as our treasurer. 

About the role 

Trustees play an important role in the leadership, strategic direction and governance of Unlock. 

Alongside this, the treasurer’s role is to maintain an overview of Unlock’s finances, ensure our financial viability and to ensure proper financial records and procedures are maintained. 

About you 

Can you bring the following attitudes and skills to our board? 

• Financial qualifications and experience. 

• Understanding and acceptance of the legal duties, responsibilities and liabilities of trusteeship. 

• The skills to analyse proposals and examine their financial consequences. 

• Willingness to be available to staff for advice on an ad hoc basis, with “hands on” involvement where necessary. 

• Commitment to the vision, values and mission of Unlock. 

While experience in charity finance is desirable, we are happy to train and support a successful candidate without this previous experience. So if you’re looking to step into the charity sector, don’t let that hold you back from applying. 

We’re committed to increasing diversity across the organisation, including our board of trustees. We’re especially keen to appoint people who have themselves met with and overcome the disadvantages of having a criminal record. 

If you’re excited by this opportunity to support, and drive, the work of a small criminal justice charity with an impressive national impact, we’re looking forward to hearing from you.
