The Breastfeeding Network's services are essential for both families and reducing pressure on health services. We are seeking a new Treasurer to ensure we can meet increased demand.
About The Breastfeeding Network
The Breastfeeding Network (BfN) is the leading charity providing infant feeding and breastfeeding information and support that women and families trust at one of the most vulnerable points on their parenting journeys.

What are we looking for?
The successful candidate will have a background as a chartered accountant, with experience of risk and strategy. Experience of working with public sector or charities and an understanding of charity finance will be desirable.

Becoming a Director of BfN you will join a charity which is trusted by healthcare professionals and parents alike for the consistent quality of the services we run through mums and parents who have breastfed themselves.
