Children and young people with SEND struggle to develop relationships, build friendships and connect with their local communities. This increases their sense of isolation and loneliness that in turn impacts upon their physical and mental health as well as puts pressure on their families who are trying to support them. To help address this health care need, InterAct provides opportunities for children and young people in Essex to get out of the house, meet others, develop social skills, and enjoy physical activities and games whilst also engaging with their local community.

We’re looking for a volunteer Trustee Treasurer who believes these young people would benefit from more access to opportunities that help them become less reliant on care services as they grow older. The Treasurer will take the lead in overseeing the financial affairs of the charity, ensuring its financial viability and that proper financial records and procedures are maintained. The post holder will work with the CEO to assist and enable the Board to perform their financial duties, by explaining accounting requirements and providing and commenting upon financial reports in an easy to understand format.

For this role, we are seeking expertise in management accounts and financial controls.
