Could you be the new treasurer of ARMA? This is an ideal opportunity for someone who wishes to gain experience of serving as a charity treasurer. As a small charity, ARMA’s finances are relatively straightforward, so you don’t necessarily need to be a highly qualified accountant. The skills and knowledge required might have been gained through financial qualifications, running a business or previous treasurer experience.
An interest in improving health services is desirable, but we do not require any previous experience of working in health services. Similarly, an interest in or experience of musculoskeletal conditions such as arthritis would be an advantage but is not essential.
ARMA Trustees are appointed for an initial three-year term and after that are eligible to stand for a further three-year term. This is an unpaid honorary post. Board meetings take place on a quarterly basis and you will be expected to give your time for four meetings, three of which are online and one of which takes place in London. Reasonable expenses are reimbursed. As Treasurer you will also monitor the finances monthly and raise any concerns, report to Board meetings and provide advice on an ad hoc basis to staff. You will not be required to do the bookkeeping and will receive monthly management accounts from the accountant. You will liaise with the Chief Executive in preparation for Board meetings.
