Treasurer

POW Nottingham is a non-profit, voluntary organisation supporting the rights of sex workers and those at risk of being exploited. We recognise and support the rights of individual sex workers to self-determination. This includes the right to remain in or leave sex work.

POW aims to empower our diverse community, focusing on ending violence and stigma through education, advocacy and multi-agency working.

What will you be doing?

The Treasurer provides strategic oversight of the charity’s finances, ensuring strong financial governance, effective controls, and long-term sustainability. Working closely with staff, external accountants, and auditors, they monitor financial health, support strategic planning, oversee compliance, and present financial information clearly to the Board.

The role also includes helping to safeguard the charity’s assets, contribute to fundraising strategy, and ensure resources are managed responsibly to support the organisation’s mission and future growth.

What are we looking for?

We are seeking a financially skilled and strategic individual to help strengthen the organisation’s financial governance, sustainability, and long-term success. The role involves overseeing financial controls, supporting strategic planning, ensuring regulatory compliance, contributing to fundraising, and presenting financial information in a clear and accessible way to Trustees and stakeholders.

The ideal candidate will be a qualified accountant (or qualified by experience) with strong organisational and problem-solving skills, sound judgement, and the ability to balance strategic oversight with a practical, hands-on approach when needed. They will be collaborative, adaptable, and confident in supporting fellow Trustees, while bringing energy, commitment, and a strong belief in the rights of sex workers and those at risk of exploitation. Experience navigating complex organisational, funding, or governance environments would be highly valued.

Our Commitment to Equity, Diversity and Inclusion 

We believe that diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and lived experiences make our organisation stronger and more effective. We are dedicated to building an environment where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered — and where intersecting identities are recognised and represented at every level, including our Trustee Board. We particularly welcome applications from people of colour, young people, LGBTQ+ individuals, and those with lived experience of socio economic inequality. We are looking for Trustees who share our passion for equity, diversity, and inclusion, and who will help embed these values across all areas of our work. 

We are committed to an accessible recruitment process and are happy to make reasonable adjustments — please don't hesitate to let us know what support you need.
