Job Description

Board Treasurer

Voluntary | Board-level | Based in Southampton

Could your financial expertise help transform lives across
Southampton and the South?

For over 30 years, SCiA Group has been a vital force for good in our communities,
delivering a range of health and wellbeing services to individuals across the
South Hampshire area. We're a not-for-profit group of social enterprises, and
every penny we generate goes straight back into the people we serve.

As we continue to grow and deepen our impact, we're looking for an exceptional
individual to join our Board as Treasurer, a pivotal leadership role that will
help ensure our financial foundations are as strong as the communities we
champion.

Who We Are

SCiA Group brings together specialist organisations united by a single mission:
helping people live their best lives. Across Southampton and South Hampshire,
we support hundreds of individuals every week — delivering homecare, supported
living, accessible community transport, and accessible holiday accommodation.
Our reach is wide, our impact is deeply personal, and our services enhance
lives.

SCA Care

• Homecare, Supported Living, Extra Care & Day Care Services, plus accessible Community Transport

Flat Spaces

• Purpose Built Accessible Holiday Home

The Role

As Board Treasurer, you will be a trusted financial guardian and strategic voice
at the heart of SCiA Group's governance. Working closely with the Chair, CEO,
and fellow Trustees, you will help steer an organisation that makes a genuine,
daily difference to hundreds of people's lives.

What You'll Do

• Provide expert financial oversight and reporting to the Board, ensuring strong governance and
  accountability
• Monitor the Group's financial health, budgets, reserves and cash flow, and translate the numbers into clear insights for Trustees
• Oversee the preparation and presentation of annual accounts and statutory financial reporting, working alongside the executive finance team
• Work with auditors and ensure robust financial controls are in place across the Group
• Chair or support the Finance Committee, and report its activity and recommendations to the full Board

Who We're Looking For

Previous trustee experience is not essential, however an understanding of charity governance would be beneficial.

You will bring:

• ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent senior financial management experience
• The ability to communicate financial information clearly to non-finance colleagues and stakeholders
• Strategic thinking with an eye for risk and opportunity
• Integrity, independence and sound judgement
• A genuine commitment to SCiA Group's mission of community-based care and wellbeing
• Experience in the charity, health, or social care sector is advantageous but not essential

What We Offer

This is a voluntary, unpaid role — the rewards are real and meaningful:

• The opportunity to shape the future of a respected, growing charity
• A meaningful role on a dedicated, values-driven Board with genuine collective responsibility for the organisation’s direction
• Valuable governance and strategic leadership experience
• The chance to use your professional skills to give back to your community
• A welcoming, collaborative culture that values every voice

Time Commitment

We ask for approximately 3–4 hours per month, including attendance at Board
meetings (typically quarterly), Finance Committee meetings, and occasional ad
hoc discussions. Trustees are also expected to undertake reasonable preparation
ahead of meetings and to attend the annual strategy session. This role can be
performed largely remotely, with some in-person meetings in Southampton.

We'd love to hear from you. To find out more or express your interest, please
send a short covering letter outlining your motivation for the role and what you would bring to SCiA Group, alongside a CV or summary of relevant experience.
