Artistic Director at Human Story Theatre & Founder of OMCS
Oxfordshire based Theatre Company Charity seeks a Treasurer Trustee
Human Story Theatre (HST) is a small Oxfordshire based theatre company, established in 2017, raising awareness and opening up discussion about health and social care issues through new writing and theatrical performances. The charity has received national acclaim with its diverse portfolio of partnerships and strong track record of reaching new audiences.
Performances are in community centres, libraries, theatre and non-theatre spaces, as well as small theatre spaces. They are designed to raise awareness of the issues we explore, and of available support. We partner with local community groups, charities, and health and social care professionals to research and develop our shows, and to participate in our post-show discussions with the audience. We also provide mentoring and support to new writers and producers, and collaborate with artists and researchers.
We have refreshed our strategic direction after a short period of dormancy during the pandemic, and are developing exciting new projects. Recent annual turnover has been under £20,000 as we develop our new programme and fundraising, and will increase as our work develops.
We are a friendly and committed board of Trustees, with a range of skills and experience, working with freelance staff. We would welcome a new Trustee Treasurer to focus on financial governance, and contribute to overall strategic governance.
The Treasurer Role: The ideal candidate would have at least 3 years practical and professional experience in accountancy/auditing, bookkeeping or financial management, and be willing and able to monitor the charity’s finances; update financial spreadsheets; work with the Artistic Director to prepare project budgets; produce brief finance reports for trustee meetings; and oversee preparation of the annual accounts. This role might suit a UK based retired accountant, an accountant/auditor seeking charity experience, or other finance executives with or seeking charity experience. We are an inclusive organisation, and welcome applications from anyone interested to support our purpose. Trustee appointments are unpaid, although we can offer reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. We meet 4 times per year, or as needed, and plan our meetings to fit with trustees’ availability.
