Are you looking for a role that empowers individuals to lead full, connected, and independent lives?
We are looking for a Treasurer to join our Board and support the charity’s financial oversight, sustainability, and long-term strategic development. This is a rewarding opportunity to support a small but impactful charity making a real difference in the lives of migrants and refugees across Fife.
About Fife International Forum
Fife International Forum is a leading third-sector charity in Fife that works with migrants, refugees, and partner organisations to provide holistic, professional, and high-quality services. We provide person-centred support, and deliver Employability Projects including the Pre-Academy, and thematic workshops addressing barriers to employment and tackling child poverty. Our services also include welfare support such as benefits advice, housing assistance, health and family support, as well as collaboration with partners on education, legal, and immigration issues. In addition, we run conversational cafés for New Scots to promote community integration and inclusion.
A human rights approach is at the heart of our work, fostering a positive and inclusive community for development and integration. Our services are not just about integration support, but about making everyone feel welcome and building a sense of community for all New Scots.
What Does a Treasurer Do?
The Treasurer is a key member of the Board of Trustees, leading on financial governance and oversight. Working closely with the Chair, Chief Executive, and senior staff, the Treasurer helps ensure the charity is financially sound, compliant, and sustainable.
Key responsibilities include:
- Overseeing and presenting budgets, management accounts, and annual accounts to the Board.
- Ensuring effective financial controls, accurate records, and compliance with charity law and OSCR requirements.
- Monitoring financial performance and advising on financial viability and strategic decisions.
- Liaising with staff, auditors or independent examiners, and acting as a counter-signatory.
- Supporting funding and long-term financial sustainability.
The board meet six days per year. For some roles, further days may be added, up to a maximum of eight days per year – this is decided by the Chair and Trustees.
Further information on the role, responsibilities, and duties is available on the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator Website.
