Volunteer Board Member (Treasurer)

Target Housing is a resilient, responsive, purpose-driven organisation working at the heart of our communities. As a regional charity, registered provider, and registered care provider, we provide safety, support and hope to some of the most vulnerable people in society, including entrenched rough sleepers, survivors of domestic abuse, people with multiple and complex needs, women who have had children removed into care, and individuals living with mental ill health or learning disabilities.

Following significant growth over the past 5 years, we now own 160 homes and manage a further 800 across the region, with services shaped around human connection, trauma-informed care, and long-term recovery.

We’re looking for a qualified accountant with capacity to give back, to step into the role of Treasurer of our Board.

About the Role

As Treasurer, you will:

• Provide strategic oversight of our finances, helping us stay sustainable while delivering maximum social impact.
• Support the board in understanding our financial position, risks and opportunities.
• Work closely with our Finance Director and CEO to review budgets and ensure compliance.
• Attend bi-monthly board meetings (in-person in Rotherham), and occasional sub-group discussions as needed.

This is a voluntary position with expenses reimbursed, and a chance to be part of a passionate, mission-driven leadership team making a real difference every day.

About You

We’re looking for someone pragmatic, with sound judgement and a good heart. Are you:

• A qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent).
• Strong on financial literacy, but just as comfortable with conversations about people, purpose and impact.
• Understanding of the nuances of working in a charity, housing, or regulated care environment, or keen to learn.
• Values-driven, collaborative, and believing in second chances and lasting change.

Why Join Us?

Because what we do matters, and how we do it matters even more. We work flexibly, with purpose and compassion. You’ll be joining a charity that’s grown fast, but kept its soul, and you’ll be helping guide us into a financially resilient and impactful future.

The role of Treasurer requires some liaison with the CEO and FD in between Board meetings, and attendance at yearly external audit meetings.

Our trustees meet around 6 times a year 4.00pm till 6.00pm, in Rotherham, plus occasional half day planning meetings.
