Would you like to become a Trustee?

Sheffield and Rotherham Wildlife Trust are seeking a new Treasurer

Each year we seek new volunteers to join our board of 13 trustees, bringing with them the skills and experience we need to work for a better future for nature, people and the green spaces we all love across Rotherham and Sheffield. As well as an enthusiasm and passion for our work, we are looking for people with the skills to help govern the Trust.

We are looking someone with expertise in accounting and finance to become the next Treasurer of the Sheffield and Rotherham Wildlife Trust (SRWT) from September when our current Treasurer steps down.

The role is voluntary and a good opportunity for someone who is interested in environmental issues, particularly wildlife, or who wishes to gain experience of an interesting and multifaceted charitable organisation.

The Treasurer is a Trustee of SRWT and therefore would be involved with, and gain experience of the collective decision making of our Board. The issues brought before the Board are very varied including reviewing progress against our budget and business plan and major decisions relating to land purchases and reserve management.

Some experience of working in a decision-making group is very helpful and a good local knowledge of Rotherham and/or Sheffield is of great benefit.

You would need to be able to commit to attending our Annual General Meeting (held in September) and at least four board meetings per year, which require some preparatory work, in addition our Finance Committee meets quarterly for one to two hours during the working day (this can be flexible).

We are really keen to hear from people who represent our diverse communities across Rotherham and Sheffield.

Our Chair or Trustees says “I have found my own experience of being a Trustee of SRWT very rewarding”

The Treasurer will be elected at our AGM in September 22
