About Women in Prison
Women in Prison is a national, women-led, feminist organisation. We deliver front line support to women harmed by the criminal justice system, through our work in prisons, in the community and ‘through the prison gate’ as they resettle back into their communities. We also campaign for systems change that addresses the root causes of offending, reduces the harmful impact of prison, and creates workable, community-based alternatives to imprisonment.
Role Purpose:
Our new Treasurer will take the lead in financial governance and in shaping our financial strategy, supporting our Director of Finance and Resources in financial forecasting and budgets, and in liaising with our auditors. Our end of year accounts are externally audited. We expect our Treasurer to have finance experience, to be able to understand accounts, be able to comment on our financial records and financial strategy and communicate effectively on these matters with other trustees. It would be helpful if you have experience of charity finance, but it is not essential.
We are looking for someone who can commit to being the treasurer for at least three years.
What’s in it for You?
- The opportunity to play a part in helping Women in Prison to realise it's vision of a society which no longer accepts the structural inequalities that lead women and girls into contact with the criminal justice system
