Role

We are seeking a Treasurer to join our small but dynamic Board of Trustees. If you are passionate about literacy and committed to good governance and sound financial practice we would love to hear from you! 

Craigmillar Literacy Trust’s objective is that every person is empowered through literacy in the community of Craigmillar. We support people’s literacy skills by working with children, young people, families, parents and carers and other adults, and across communities. 

We deliver a number of projects which include Craigmillar Books for Babies, Craigmillar Stories for Sharing and Express Yourself! 

Craigmillar Literacy Trust is governed by an experienced Board of Trustees who meet every 6-8 weeks, with some sub-group meetings as required, to review the overall governance and success of the organisation. 

The Treasurer’s role is to oversee the financial elements of the organisation, to monitor the financial affairs of the charity and to report to the other Trustees accordingly about the financial health of the organisation in line with charity and legal requirements. It is essential for the Treasurer to have a sound knowledge and understanding of financial management through professional or other experience. The Treasurer is expected to have an understanding and commitment to the work of Craigmillar Literacy Trust.
