Volunteer Treasurer Trustee

Volunteer Treasurer Trustee – STEPPS CIO Help us support the mental wellbeing of dancers across the UK.

STEPPS is a UK registered charity dedicated to improving mental health and wellbeing support for dancers. We believe that mental health deserves the same attention and care as physical health throughout a dancer's training and professional career. We provide access to affordable and free therapeutic support, alongside workshops and educational initiatives designed to help dancers, dance schools and companies develop a healthier approach to mental wellbeing. We are now looking for a volunteer Treasurer Trustee to join our Board and help guide the charity's financial management as we continue to grow.

Who are we looking for?

We would welcome applications from individuals with bookkeeping, accounting or financial management experience who would like to use their knowledge and skills to support a worthwhile cause. Knowledge of charity accounting would be helpful, although it is not essential. Previous experience as a charity trustee would also be an advantage, but we are equally interested in hearing from people who would like to take on their first trustee appointment. You do not need to have a background in dance or the performing arts. An interest in mental health and a willingness to contribute to our charity's development are what matter.

What would the role involve?

Working alongside our CEO and fellow trustees, you would help oversee the financial wellbeing of STEPPS.

Your responsibilities would include:

• Supporting accurate financial record-keeping and bookkeeping.

• Monitoring income, expenditure and the charity's financial position.

• Preparing or overseeing financial reports for Board meetings.

• Helping develop budgets and financial forecasts.

• Supporting the preparation of annual accounts and financial information required by the Charity Commission.

• Advising fellow trustees on financial matters and contributing to the charity's overall governance and future planning. As a trustee, you would also participate in Board discussions and decisions, helping STEPPS achieve its charitable objectives.

Time commitment and location

This is a voluntary, unpaid position, with flexible working arrangements and Board meetings held online. The role can be undertaken remotely from within the UK, making it suitable for someone who would like to contribute their professional experience alongside other commitments.

Why join STEPPS?

This is an opportunity to make a genuine difference to the lives of those in UK's dance community, many of whom face considerable psychological challenges during their training, professional careers and transitions out of dance. You would join a small, committed team working to make mental health support more accessible within the dance community, while helping to shape the future of a developing charity.

Interested?

We would be delighted to hear from you. Please email stepps.charity@gmail.com telling us a little about your financial experience and why you would be interested in joining STEPPS. Please use the subject line 'Treasurer Trustee – STEPPS'. An informal online conversation can be arranged to discuss the role and answer any questions.
