Keats-Shelley Memorial Association seeks a new Hon Treasurer

The Keats-Shelley Memorial Association is seeking a new Hon Treasurer and Trustee of the Board, to support the preservation and development of the Keats-Shelley House and Museum in Rome, and a range of programmes and events in both Rome and the UK.
 

The Hon Treasurer has an active and overall responsibility for the financial affairs of the Charity, including internal controls, accounting and financial records, budgeting, reimbursement of expenses, and charity risk management. It is the leading interface on financial advice, guidance, and reassurance to the Board of Trustees and is a Member of the Investment Sub-Committee.

The position requires someone who has a clear passion for, and commitment to the Association and its objectives to preserve the memory and appreciation of the works of Keats and Shelley and their circle and to participate in fund-raising activities and support in seeking donors.

It is important to have a good understanding and experience in financial management and accounting, with strong business and financial acumen, and an understanding and acceptance of the legal, financial, and regulatory liabilities of a charity. Knowledge of Italian would be useful but not essential.

The role needs a collaborative team player who respects and values other points of view, can contribute effectively to discussion with an independent view, and participates with calmness and tact in an inclusive and outcome-focused way.
