Branch Treasurer (Omagh Branch) Parkinson's UK

In Omagh, the group is a core part of the local Parkinson's community. As Treasurer you'll help manage the finances of the group, making sure they're spent effectively for people affected by Parkinson's.

Why we want you

Local groups across the UK are run by volunteers and offer friendship and support to people living with Parkinson's and their families and friends. These groups are entirely funded by voluntary donations. We need a branch treasurer to help ensure these funds are spent in the most effective way to support people living with Parkinson's in your community.

What you will be doing

• Accurately record financial activity, keeping the group and the Parkinson's UK central office informed of the group's financial position
• Stay up to date on Parkinson's UK's financial policies and share them with the group
• Provide regular reports to the committee on the financial status of the group including final accounts at the annual general meeting
• Deal with financial administration for the group, including recording decisions around legacy spending, sending annual financial returns to the UK Office, ensuring volunteer expenses are paid accurately and according to our volunteer expenses policy
• Be a signatory on the group's bank accounts
• Work with local staff and other volunteers to help the group operate within Parkinson's UK guidelines

The skills you need

• Previous experience in finance, accountancy or bookkeeping would be valuable, but is not essential
• Confident with numbers and able to take the lead on the groups finances
• Collaborative and team focused; you'll need to make balanced decisions on the groups financial decisions, in conversation with the committee and local staff

What's in it for you

• Develop your accountancy or bookkeeping skills - we are happy to provide references
• Play a crucial role in the local Parkinson's community, making new friends and building connections
• Learn and develop valuable financial, administrative and communication skills
• You'll be part of a pioneering organisation, committed to finding a cure and improving life for everyone affected by Parkinson's - in your local area and beyond
