Could you be our next Treasurer?

Art in Motion (AIM) is a disability-led arts organisation at Arnolfini, Bristol, working with learning-disabled and neurodivergent artists to develop their practice, build confidence and share their work with the world.

We’re looking for a Treasurer to join our Board of Trustees and help us build a strong, sustainable future. The Treasurer provides financial guidance and oversight, helping the Board make informed decisions about budgets, expenditure, income, reserves, funding and organisational growth.

If you’re confident with budgets and accounts, and you’d like to put your skills towards nurturing a more inclusive arts sector, this is a chance to make a real difference. You’ll help trustees understand our finances, support in future planning and financial decision-making, and work alongside a committed Board and Director.

Key Responsibilities

Financial oversight: Monitor income, expenditure, cash flow and reserves,
and help trustees understand AIM’s financial position and any risks.

Budgeting and planning: Support the annual budget, track spending against
it, and advise on the financial implications of new projects, staffing and
premises, as well as longer-term sustainability.

Accounts and reporting: Review financial reports, present updates to the
Board, and oversee the annual accounts, liaising with the independent
examiner or auditor.

Governance and compliance: Help maintain sound financial controls and
policies, support compliance with charity law and funder conditions, and
ensure restricted funds are used appropriately.

Funding and income: Advise on the financial viability of grants, commissions
and partnerships, and help build a diverse, resilient income base.

Working with the Director and Board: Offer regular financial advice and
support to the Director, and make sure financial information is clear and
accessible to all trustees.

You don’t need to be a qualified accountant or have trustee experience. You just need financial know-how, the confidence to ask questions, and a belief in making the arts more accessible.
