Treasurer - Connect: North Korea

We are working in partnership with Connect: North Korea, a UK-based organisation established in 2018 to address the complex challenges North Koreans face in building new lives once they’ve reached safety in a free country. The charity now has a global aim: enabling every person who escaped the oppression of North Korea, to heal, grow, and live the life they choose through holistic support programmes.

Connect: North Korea are actively developing their Board and are now seeking a Treasurer to help continue their growth from a small community start-up into a high-impact, well-renowned, and sustainable international organisation. The Treasurer will join a collaborative and ambitious team and will be responsible for providing strategic support related to financial management and overseeing robust financial processes and governance for continued growth. Individuals are sought who have a strong commitment to social and racial justice.

Successful candidates must also be able to demonstrate:

1. Minimum of 3 years in a senior finance role.
2. Excellent communication and teamwork skills.
3. Knowledge of refugee support and charity governance, and/or lived experience of migration is desired, although not essential.

The Treasurer can serve for an initial term of three years and will have the opportunity to be re-appointed for a second term (maximum of six years). Board meetings are held four times a year in addition to an away day and sub-committee meetings. All reasonable expenses will be covered by the charity. We anticipate a 2–3-hour monthly time commitment.

If you do not match the criteria for this role, please don’t be put off from applying - training and support can be agreed for the right candidate.

Your expression of interest should include your CV and supporting statement.
