Birthrights Trustees – could you be our next Treasurer?
Are you excited by Birthrights’ ambitions to work towards long term, systemic change that empowers women and birthing people? We are actively seeking a Treasurer to join our Board of Trustees to support the strategic management of our resources as we embark on our new ten year strategic plan.
If you have any of the following skills and experience, we would love to hear from you!
- Experience in business management, finance, accounting or economics
- Experience of managing large budgets
- A relevant qualification, such as a degree in accounting, business studies or finance. You may hold an ACA or ACCA qualification, or hold CIMA or CIPFA membership.
As a trustee you will work with a dynamic and passionate team of trustees and employees who champion the rights of women and birthing people. Our Board of Trustees meets quarterly, mostly virtually, but we like to meet 1-2 times per year in person, either in London or the Midlands (as this is nearest to where most are currently based).
